Buf-Phoon loitering with intent Lifetime Members 13,318 Member For: 21y 3m 9d Gender: Male Location: Zombie Birdhouse Posted 23/05/06 12:24 PM Share Posted 23/05/06 12:24 PM Take Craig's car as an example. It has 377 RWKW and has done 10.68, presumably with Craig driving. Give the keys to me and I would probably be lucky to do 12s. But the car still has the same amount of power, so an observer that doesn't know it's not actually my car might think it was a bit slow considering the power output. ←Sooo Ross , what you are saying is that a claimed time should be the owner of the vehicle, not just a pro brought in for the drive ???If so I tend to agree, personally if I had someone else pilot the car, I couldn't and wouldn't claim the time and put it in my sig as I can't see the personal acheivement, therefore no bragging rights. Particularly with an 18 in the Phoon.That said the Goose beat my T time by an alleged 0.2 sec with an additional 65 rwkw and a stallie, God love 'im Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's best was 12.24@115 with consistant 12.3's with 281rwkw's. This was with Dunlops on 17's with stock stall.This thread is starting to show similar power generating similar results.Rob had a valid point though. A person who isn't very good at racing will cause the car to go slower than an experienced driver.Geea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last paragraph is more what I was trying to say. People have been quite critical of Steve because he claims his car has 3XX RWKW and at the time he hadn't taken it down the strip to "prove" how powerful/fast it really is (conspiracy theory about "happy" dynos etc). Now I recall Steve saying he was quite inexperienced at drag racing (me too, 1/4 mile "virgin" here! ) so it probably wouldn't go as fast as one might think with that much power. By the same token, if you let someone like say Victor Bray drive Craig's car his time might be considerably lower than Craig's due to his skill and experience at drag racing. There are also a host of other factors that need to be taken into account with drag racing such as temp, track condition, tyre type and condition. So to sum up what I have been raving about dyno readings are a completely seperate issue to 1/4 mile times IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
