I noticed when looking at the trap speeds from mir that the speedfactory car was trapping like 180-190mph "**** memory" and the car in the finals with em was trapping like 160 yet getting within a tenth of the same times. My question is how does this happen? is he ripping of the line much faster due to rwd or what?

cliffs:180vs160 trap speed with same time?

 

yes

 

exactly

 

Yes, rwd and awd have better short track times over fwd. FWD Honda engines rpm and power band show up halfway down the track when it can be used till the end. An example would be a 1000 whp fwd Honda may have 400whp 1st gear, 500whp+ 2nd gear, 600whp+ 3rd gear, then full power 4th gear. On top of naturally accelerating faster at higher speeds more power is applied towards the end of the track.

 

the RWD v8s are getting a much better short track where as the hondas with the baby eating turbos have top end like a **** causing the times to be close but the traps to be way off

 

so if the track were to be mildly longer(say 300ft) the rwds wouldnt stand a chance?
that is if neither car was topping out

 

Look at 60', 330' and 1/8th mile times. That tells the story

Just for reference, my buddy with a turbo v8 '73 skyline had to have a 5.18 1/8th mile to run an 8.0x and look at speedfactory's 1/8th on the 8.08 pass, it was a 5.48. That's 3 tenths that they are picking up on the back end to run the same time TEC FTW! Haha

 

True, but then they would adjust the rules accordingly to keep the racing close

 

ahh makes sense thanks fellas

 

Something does need to change.. Poor domestics don't stand a chance against the Puerto Ricans. HahHhaha

 

thats a whole nother thread. 2/3 guys in the scene are hispanic... my painters hispanic my machine shop guy is hispanic, my rearview mirror is hispanic, etc.

 

It comes in handy for me when applying for financial aid for pharmacy school!
