And then to that point are you going to do all the tricks? Run narrow fronts? Run Mickies on the back, or at least BFG DOT Drag radials? Soften the rear springs and shocks? Reduce your drag? Its like any game, you can setup the car to get better numbers. And trust me drag racers understand Power to weight ratio, thats why funny cars and dragsters where invented! Even door slammers go to great lengths to reduce weight. I know one guy that runs a car, and has a female driver, why, she's a good 60 pounds on anybody that shows up on the line. She beats me by 108 pounds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) if we had the exact same car. So in this example using the 0-60 calculator she would run a 4.242 second 0-60 in my 914. I run 4.399. Run that out over the quarter, and you get an idea of what the difference would be.
Our PCA region ran auto-xs at drag strips, does that count for running the 1/4 mile? Us in timing and scoring left the boards on for one event. Believe me Porsche guys liked lighting the board, even if the numbers meant nothing except to that event. As you where rolling start when you crossed the line, and you had hard braking to make the box and then a 90 for the return run where you got to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) We also ran a drag night at the Porsche Parade back in 93. Lots of fun had that night also. |
