getting to 12's
from all the advice, i went ahead and changed up the list alil bit,
i have added,
1: engine mounts
2: tranny mounts
3: bwoodytraction bars
4:front strut bars
5: rear sway bars
what do you guys think?>

most the numbers from the 70's where inflated big time, MOST not all but most of the muscle cars from the 70's where slow as ****. just did a quick google search and most of your base model 70's muscle cars with those high HP V8's where clicking off a whopping mid 15 to 17 second 1/4! congratulations, they run even with a stock cavalier Z24
Man, no wonder I hang on the z06 sites instead of with teenage amateurs with their first car.
nice attitude.
you quoted a run and implied and suggested it was a LEGIT full speed normal run.
the numbers were ****** bullshit and you got called on it.
so to prove that somehow you werent wrong...you quote a BOTCHED run, further proving that your numbers were bullshit
and **** you for generalising.
im 28 years old. take your elitist smartass attitude elsewhere if you consider yourself so far above us because you drive a car with a bigger pricetag.

And WTF does a botched run have to do with it. He said it was mathematically impossible to arrive at those numbers and I proved him wrong. Are all you people on here like 16 years old?

To me you sound like the whiny immature one. Oh, and since you are generalizing about this site, are you a 45 year old popcorn fart who thinks he knows something about cars because he could turn the idle screw on a carburetor? Pull your tampon out and insert a fresh one.
BTW, if you use standard calculations to figure quarter mile times etc., none of the numbers you have posted in this thread would work UNLESS the run was botched. Sure, they won't be completely accurate, but they are a good guideline.
Edit: So on your botched run you ran a 1.8 second 60', had some problems and still trapped 111mph? Can we see the video? I bet you won't post a video.
it doesn't not take 330 crank hp to get into the 12's
get off your got damn calculator sites.
factor in traction, shift times, temps, track temps, humidity, density altitude.
then factor in wheel hp, vehicle weight with driver.
when you figure all of that you, you come to realization that it only takes 102 mph to break 12's in the 1/4
can i come? i won't pee in the punch this time!

my little balt trapped 109 but only ran a 14.0 traction owned me. my Z28 however went 11.8@120 then went 11.54 spinning at 118, also watched a buddy in his nova go 10.9@94mph
mph and ET all have to do with gearing.
replace that with...
4) sticky tires
5) lightweight wheels

I'm sorry let me rephrase myself. We are talking about the possibility of our cars breaking the 13 second quarter mile correct? What I meant was that, assuming a good run, it is mathematically incorrect that everytime the car runs down the track that they will run a 13. In other words, with a GOOD run, not a BOTCHED run
, the car is capable of faster, but you said it wasn't.....hmmmm.

So, you go to the track, still pull off a 1.8 launch, which would be the hardest part on the car, then go half throttle the rest of the way? Unless you are bracket racing, that don't make too much sense. Just my opinion. What are those cars actually capable of in thier current form?
We dont make 20 psi boost runs until we make a couple runs with no and low boost and tune in the pits for the track temperature and humidity. You can tell some people are real amateurs in here about drag racing with their comments. We are laughing....
Exactly....LOL
