Saw this on another forum. Source of data not given so accuracy questionable, especially for higher times which are low for LS1s

measure is linear
2.3 second 60' time = 35.5 mph @60' = 7.0 second 0-60 time
2.2 second 60' time = 37.1 mph @60' = 6.5 second 0-60 time
2.1 second 60' time = 38.9 mph @60' = 5.9 second 0-60 time
2.0 second 60' time = 40.9 mph @60' = 5.2 second 0-60 time
1.9 second 60' time = 43.0 mph @60' = 4.6 second 0-60 time
1.8 second 60' time = 45.5 mph @60' = 4.0 second 0-60 time
1.7 second 60' time = 48.1 mph @60' = 3.4 second 0-60 time
1.6 second 60' time = 51.1 mph @60' = 2.9 second 0-60 time
1.5 second 60' time = 54.5 mph @60' = 2.2 second 0-60 time
1.4 second 60' time = 58.4 mph @60' = 1.5 second 0-60 time
1.36 second 60' time = 60.0 mph @60' = 1.36 second 0-60 time
1.3 second 60' time = 62.9 mph @60' = 1.2 second 0-60 time
1.2 second 60' time = 68.1 mph @60' = 1.1 second 0-60 time
1.1 second 60' time = 74.3 mph @60' = 0.9 second 0-60 time
1.0 second 60' time = 81.8 mph @60' = 0.7 second 0-60 time

It appears to be some what accurate. My job at work is using a radar gun, There is a formula to measure mph to = distance.
If any needs the formula, E-mail me and I will send it to you.

I'm also wodering how accurate this table is. I've used a my personal best run to calculate 0-60 times using the formula where you enter your 1/8 mile et and mph. That method had my 0-60 at 4.3x seconds, yet when I use this table for my 60' time on that run (1.69) it would be somewhere in the low 3 second range. Thats quite a discrepancy

0-60 in under 2 secs..... :shocked:

Accuracy looks a little off for faster 60' times.

Here's another way to get 0-60mph times that's probably a lot more accurate. Plot distance vs. time from one of your time slips. Put feet on the y axis and time in seconds on the x axis. Most time slips give you a 60', 330', 1/8 mile, 1000' and 1/4 mile and their respective times. Fair in a curve through the points. Next draw a straight line from point 0,0 to 880 ft, 10 sec. The slope of this line represents 60 mph (88 ft/sec). Draw a line with this same slope tangent to your distance vs. time curve. Read down from the tangent point to the x axis. That's your 0-60 mph time.

conversion chart!!

This means that I need just below 2.90 from 0 - 60... My best 60' was 1.591...

There seems to be a bit of discrepancy between the two sources. I tend to believe the site posted by STL94LT1 a little more. Based on a 7.223 @ 94.42 1/8 mile my 0-60 is 2.92. According to the conversion chart above based on a 1.48 60' time on the same run my 0-60 would be 2.2 seconds. Seems too quick to me. I can buy the 3 second 0-60 but not the 2 second time.

Our dragster 60's at 1.08 and does the 1/8th mile in 4.80 at 145MPH...I will look at the 330' and see what that ET is. May help w/the low end of the formula.

I used the link & got a 0-60 of 3.0sec for my best pass. I plugged in the #'s from my Mustang's best pass from 1998 & got 4.3 0-60.
