Default 0-60 MPH Conversion

Can 0-60 mph times be calculated from 1/4 mile time slips?

This is a very vague reply. At the strip, my GN runs 12.70's @ 106 mph. My G-tech shows the 0-60 at 4.6 on the same runs. That is with a 1.8 60ft.

A lot depends on gearing, torque curve, shifting, etc. For example If car A has a steep rear gear it will accelerate quickly and top out at red line before it reaches the 1/4 mile mark. Car B has a taller gear and is still accelerating at the finish line. If both cars run the same time car A will have a quicker 0-60 time.
