I have a question that is pondering on my mind. Can an all motor car run 13.23 @101 w/1.98 60ft, and then do another back to back run doing 12.56@101mph again w/1.789 60ft?? Is this possible for and all motor car to do 0.7 better at the SAME mph?

 

the mph is only clocked at the end of the track. a car running 3 seconds faster could have the same mph if it slammed on the brakes at the end of the track.

 

maybe .3 but .7, and both the 13.2 and 12.5 were full throtthle runs.

 

ET depends on 60 times and where you shift.

And yes, it is possible to get much faster down the track in the same day with the same set-up. It called learning something the 1st time and applying it the next time around.

 

Ok, but does the trap speed agree with an NA time? 12.5@101mph

 

Id say its totally possible...
Depending on shift points, traction, and maybe even driver consistency...

12.5 @ 101mph sounds like a sub 200whp engine in a very light car...
Look at those rotary rwd starlets running like 10's and 11's but only at like 110-115mph...

 

NA cars follow a pretty close formula 1320/mph=et

ET= how well you going down the track
MPH= engine power

My car picked up almost a full second ET by working on the 60' and efficiently getting it down the track but never picked up any MPH outside of weather changes.

Also you have to pay attention when you let off the throttle, some people don't care about the traps speed and let off the moment they cross the line, they will usually have a lower mph at the same et as similar car that stays WOT clean through the traps.

Ok, cool. I do think that the car is sub 200 but it is in a full interior EK. Thanks alot guys, I just needed to understand this because it was confusing to me.

 

12.5 @ 101mph in a full interior EK hatch makes me think hes gotta stroker motor under the hood
