So me and skatecity met up tonight in new mexico for a few runs. We had some good races.

First was from about 35 roll. I put a 2 or 3 cars on him by about 100
Second was from a dig which I proceeded to miss 3rd and put again about 3 cars to about 90 or 100

3rd was on the highway kind of downhill from about 40 and it was closer like 2 cars to about 90 again.

Oh he had the K&N CAI on his css/sc. They were good races but man my 3rd gear was pullin the hell out of him. I have a small clip but since I was shifting with a camera in my hand its a real bad video. Also im not sure about those numbers up there but it was there abouts. He also had his friend in his car which could have put us a little closer. Over all a good race with a great guy with a nice ass car. I better get my stages before he gets his or im done.

Good race Skatecity.

Ill post the videos if you guys want, but i warn you and yes you can see the margin of victory.

 

thats cool. i wana go up against a SRT4 myself, not that i doubt what happened in your races, i just wana see one roll
i have a lota respect for the SRT4, i was actually gona buy one, but got my SS instead

 

put the video on!!!

 

pork is a great guy look forward to seeing you soon in the city. great race but we will have to go at it when i get some more mods.

 

I think he did good for him being stock, and you having intake. Plus he had a passenger.

 

yea passenger can make quite a difference. I have a 06/ss/sc i/e my bro has a ION redline i/h/e from a roll we run neck and neck from 40 - 120. One day on our way to dennys we raced from a 40 and he had a 200 lb passenger in his car and I busted his ass. He thought his car was messed up, it was atleast 2-3 cars difference. Then on our way back I took the passenger, and he did the same thing to me It really was surprising to see what an extra 200 lbs does to our cars.

oh and I raced a stock 06/sssc with my friend who wieghs a hefty 290, and even with I/E he ran with me if not pulled a little

 

sources claim that every 100 lbs. is a tenth of a second in the 1/4

 

how many car lengths is .10 of a second

 

i had the intake and the friend

 

I couldn't help ya' on that one.....if I had to guess 2 - 3 at the most or more like 1 -2

 

Depends on how fast you're going at the end of the 1/4 mile

At 100 mph, each .10 of a second = ~15 ft, so if you consider 20ft a "car length" then 3 car lengths would be about .40 of a second.

 

IM 6.0 tall and from my memory I would say if 2 of me layed down head to foot I we would be longer then a normal car. So I would think 12 foot would be a good indication of a car length? maybe less?

EDIT:

Cobalt SS is 180 inches long. That works out to about 15 feet.

 

thats cool. the only guy with an srt 4 in my town talks crap to all the camaro, mustang, talon, and vette..yes vette owners in town. he also only races cars he knows he can beat, civics, trucks, cavis.. im glad that the guys on here with srt-4s are cool

 

Yeah, with cars trapping around 100mph, one tenth is roughly equal to 1 car length.

 

yeah the srt in my town always eats me up. i hate that thats why all my money is going for mods. o and i saw a black gti today rocking steelies i think he posts up on here.

 

also every 100 lbs you loss on a car is eqaul to gaining about 10hp.

 

Nice runs guys.

 

It also translates to around 0.10 (1 tenth) off your 1/4 mile time.

 

Here is the video, but excuse the quality I told you that I was shifting with my camera hand. But you can see the cobalt in the side view at the end and you see the pull from
3rd.
