You know how much power you are going to need to trap 130mph in a 1/4 mile track? My rough estimate is over 500HP for a normal street car, good

You know how much power you are going to need to trap 130mph in a 1/4 mile track? My rough estimate is over 500HP for a normal street car, good luck getting there. 60-130 isn't something special, it's just a number some ricers came up with. It really is just a pissing contest, who wants a golden shower?
I use my pbox for analytics between my cars, my driving and other people's driving. I use it to show what I can do to improve my driving or bust some stupid myths. You are right I am a puss, I spent way too much time gathering data that most people don't know how to use/understand. At the same time I am sure 98% of the owners don't care since they will never attempt a track event or do anything other than fast and furious pulls. ![]() Shot at 2010-09-04 ![]() Shot at 2010-09-01 I have datalogs of my Prius at Pocono and Lime Rock, wanna compare that to my Prius?

![]() 60-130 is great for comparing turbo cars with a tune. They still have no traction down low, and so they can't actually put down good quarter times, and the drivers don't track them. |

and ricers thought of it? i doubt it brother. seems like all the high HP cars and enthusiasts thought of it.. because it measure the cars potential, not the drivers potential.. so yea, you have one for what? measuring the differences? gee, thats so far beyond what a 60-130 can tell.. oh wait a sec.. |

yes, that would be about right for a car of that weight. not many vehicles get don to that weight, so for 130+ on average cars, its about 600.
I wonder what your 60-130 would have been? would be nice to have had a vbox in there huh ![]() oh wait, you mean that was a legal way of getting your 60-130 time!? THATS NOT POSSIBLE! |

60-130 times are just another way to compare performance. Just like 0-60, 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile times. The OP is right about it being a good indicator of how much hp a vehicle has because it helps in eliminating driver skill and traction at the start of measurement as a variable.
Some people favor looks and sound over performance. Some people like the VIP flush look with stretched tires. Some people don't like it at all. Most of us are 370Z owners and almost all of us are car enthusiasts. We should be more civilized. If you see a thread with a topic you don't agree with, you have the choice of not coming into it. |
