Re: 13.0 in the 1/4? (AS84)
That hasn't been my experience maybe I'm confused.
Hmm.... well I think a "rule of thumb" equation some drag racers use is something like ....
1/8th * 1.57 = 1/4
....every time I've been sub 9 seconds in the 1/8th, I've been in the 13s.

Re: 13.0 in the 1/4? (ericcer)
I'd say your running about 13.3
My last few runs about 2 weeks ago I ran:
1/8-8.665 @84.22
1/4-13.39@104.91
1/8-8.611 @84.11
1/4-13.35@104.61
1/8-8.604 @84.02
1/4-13.34@104.47

Re: 13.0 in the 1/4? (ericcer)
Though it depends on what your 60' was, I tend to agree with nickd.
Here are the numbers from my latest best pass:
2.010 sec - 60'
8.551 sec - 1/8mi
83.48 mph - 1/8mi
13.281 sec - 1/4mi
103.17 mph - 1/4mi
So I think 13.0 sec is not in the cards till you do some more mods.

Re: 13.0 in the 1/4? (mackeyred96)
Bear in mind I have a LT4. None of you guys that are quoting you times are. Anyone with a LT4 out there to compare?
Here is my timeslip

Re: 13.0 in the 1/4? (Ezgoin721)
First off I cut 1.99/2.00 60' times all day long easily.
2nd, your MPH @1/8mi is lower than mine, as well as 4mph lower than Ezgoin721 who is running 13.0.
I'd say at best your cutting 13.20's.
On my best run:
60'=2.00
1/8=8.572
MPH=85.120
1/4=13.258
MPH=105.91
If you want to believe you are running 13.0's and don't like what you are hearing then why did you ask ?

Re: 13.0 in the 1/4? (nickd)
My 1/8 mile 8.562 @ 83.36 and I ended up with a 13.222 @ 106.73.
Like nick and others said, your in the 13.2-13.3 neighborhood and it's not a shabby neighborhood at all. :D

Re: 13.0 in the 1/4? (BubbleHead)
nickd, I am not trying to be a jerk or anything. I just remember a guy with his LT4 posting his 1/4 mile time as 13.0 and I thought his 1/8 was an 8.5. I am trying to compare apples to apples. That is why I want someone with an LT4 to post (not that I don't appreicate the others :)). I got a 13.2 1/4 with a 8.6 1/8 with my 98 T/A M6.

I feel that the Corvette is not as powerful as the T/A but on the other hand I am wondering if the Corvette may do better given the lighter weight and better aerodynamics that may show up in the 1/4.

Re: 13.0 in the 1/4? (ericcer)
Best time to date with the mods listed below was a 13.07 at 108.95. I don't know the 1/8th mile time though, and I know I wasn't far from 12's if I could have kept running when it cooled off.

Re: 13.0 in the 1/4? (ericcer)
I'm running an LT4 in a CE Convert. Times are below
'60-2.009
1/8-8.509
MPH-84.25
'1000-11.00
1/4-13.116
MPH-106.57
This is with Runflats on. Only mods are K&N filter and MAT relocation. You should be close. I usually ran in the 13.3-13.4 area with the hardtop on and DR's on in the heat of summer. Looking for some improvement with the cooler weather. Good luck.
