1/8 mile drag strip
 

does anybody know what this car ran in the 1/8 mile? the drag strip is 5 minutes from my house and i was wondering if i could outrun my buddies audi s4. he ran a 8.6 in the eighth. i have invidia exhaust and cnt test pipes...what do u think my car would run?

You'll be close, I would say 8.8 to 8.7 is about stock...
If you mod (NA) and let JNAUT drive you could do 7.9... :tup:

:icon18: :driving:

i m thinking it will be close too. his car is bad *** out of the hole though.

Sounds about right.

OP, which track you hitting?

shelor motor mile

i was up there last weekend and i seen a camaro ss run a 8.7 and a srt8 challenger run a 8.6. i work with 2 guys that have these cars. i hope my car runs better so i can rub it in their face haha. those cars were also modded though.

My best 1/8 mile time (which was also my best 1/4 mile run) was 8.388 s with my 7AT. It's definitely possible. Do you have a 7AT or a 6MT?

6mt. is your car stock?

100% stock including tires. I had what I guess would be the perfect run. Weather and launch were both perfect, leading to an amazing run. My worst 1/8 mile times that day were 8.8xx. It will be more difficult in the 6MT, but it's still possible.

Your run was about as good as it gets. Perfect weather + track prep.


The 6MT will be notably slower. A good launch is pretty much what it comes down to in the eighth mile. There isn't time to overcome a less-than-stellar launch.

different elevations matter too right? im in the mountains.

Ah the NRV! Nice. I used to live out in Radford.

I think the elevation there is right around 2,000 feet so you're probably looking at a high 8 second pass if you can hook up.

add aprox .1 sec for every 1000 ft

It actually can be a good bit worse than that. You could take a 13.0 car at sea level and run 14.5 somewhere in Colorado.
