damn .. almost hitting 7s in a stock cobra, those things are nuts.

And nice time type r! That thing can move.

EDIT:
1/8th mile to 1/4 mile calculator

Your quarter mile ET would be: 12.59
Your quarter mile MPH would be: 109.62

I tryed it out with some time slips. It was dead on the money. I'm impressed.

It's dead on for your et as well if you try it with your timeslip.

This 1/8th to 1/4 calculator is dead accurate, you were using one where you put in power and weight and it gives some bogus et ... it's a lot easier for someone do design a calculator that will predict what your going to run in the 1/4 after they already know what your going to run in the 1/8th.

BTW it wasnt super accurate for me...i went 8.930 @79.35 to a 13.794 @101.54 my 1/8th calcs out to 13.9 at 100


my thoughts are had i made a clean pass and pulled off the 8.72* at 81 it would have ended up a 13.4 at 103

Right, yours is different because you cut like 2.0 60ft times and your gearing doesn't allow you to really start moving until later.

I was saying it was dead on for idrvaltima's timeslip.

And remember this is on a mustang website, so traction is assumed in all calculations.
