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.. |

i compare myself mostly to mansell because of my weight btw, the andrettis are too skinny. correct me if i am wrong, i believe the 135 and 335 are rated in a lower class than the 370 in solo 2, i believe the handicapped is higher at nasa tt also. of course you wouldnt know because you are too busy searching for 60 to 130 numbers |
