If you are at 60mph in 60 feet, shouldn't you be able to run a much quicker time than the times in your sig?

Well, I ran 9.82. How fast would you have me run?

BTW, it just so happens that pulling a 1.38 60ft time and going from 0-60 MPH in 1.38 are the same thing. What I mean is that when you pull a 1.38 60 ft, you happen to be at 60 MPH at that point.

Some times with your car that may be the case, but that's definitely not an absolute. There are too many variables.
Also, I guess I haven't paid attention to strip numbers enough lately, but it seems that if you can get to 60 mph in 60', you should be able to get faster than 137 in the next 1260'. I supposed there's a lot involved in that as well - traction, gear ratios, etc.

Really? That's the mathematical equivalent huh? Interesting. I'm too lazy to bust out the old TI-85 and calcumalate it.

unit...u know how to use a ti85? **** i took discrete math, applied physics and calc/trig in college...i still dunno how to use these damn things. thank god my professor was a drunk.

my opinion about 0-60 mph...it doesnt really mean **** on the track...on the street, whats more important is the stop from 60-0 so you can stop next to a fart can equipped import to flex some american muscle...nipple rings showin and all!

4.4 seconds - 4.5 seconds on a tazzo while at the track. usually this thing tends to read a little bit slow as far as quarter miler though so who knows what it really is.

Yep, I had all those classes too...calc I-III, linear algebra, discreet, finite, diff. eq. The TI-85 was a life saver.

I wonder what my 0-60mph would be once I throw some tires on.

TI-89 > TI-85

I used it to check my answers on my final exams.
