1/8 mile help?
Hey everyone -
They opened up a new 1/8 mile track out here in Houston (I came home for a few weeks as my summer leave), so I figured that I'd turn over a new leaf and try some legal racing for a change in my 2001 C5 M6 coupe with the only mods being a set of Firestone Firehawk tires, blackwing, borla stingers, and a kirban short throw shifter...However, I don't know anything about eighth mile times, so I was wondering if yall could help me decode these numbers and see if I'm running where I should be...Below is my best e.t. of the night, with most of my passes falling in the 8.8-8.9 range with mph ranging from 83-83.5...
60' 2.25
330' 5.863
1/8 et 8.777
1/8 mph 83.19
The temperature was in the 80's with nearly 100% humidity, and it seemed like a lot of cars were having some problems with that...For comparisons sake, a late model M3 was running in the 9.0-9.1 range, a wrx sti that I ran against ran 8.81 @ 78.26, one of those new turbo Dodge Neon's ran around a 9.3-9.4, and an automatic C4 vette was having a lot of trouble breaking 9.5...Any input you guys can give me is greatly appreciated
