Egan, that's not exactly hard data. Post an integrated acceleration curve or wheelspeed data or something. I can make up numbers just as well as the person who wrote that website, bit it doesn't make my car any faster.

I'm sure its not hard data. I was just putting in what I saw and what I had heard. I'm not trying to say that the WPI car is amazing.
(o and i don't have any integrated acceleration curves or wheel speed data sorry)

Pff my old Jeep YJ did 0-60 in like 1.78.

I met a guy who claimed 0-60 in 3 seconds in his Chevelle, and also only claimed 500HP.

Very acheivable if he had a 4 link and was setup for drag racing. cars can leave HARD with alot of tire and the right geometry.

If my memory serves me correctly, for a slick tired drag car (no tire spin) of the following speed

quarter mile 9.90 sec, 137mph

during the same run the driver experiences

0-60 ~1.8 sec
first 60 feet 1.25-1.35 sec

550 hp in 2100 lb will do the trick.

Well, getting a 4,000lb car to go that fast is an achievement, especially when I asked him what he had done to it, and he said "A cam and headers"

The average drunkard that wanders by to look at our car during home football games always has a car that is faster, I could claim our car could fly.

The extra information definitely changes the story. He probably runs 0-60 in 6 seconds.

I imagine the story goes like this; he beat some squid on a 600F2 light to light, and since F2's go 0-60 in 3 seconds...

I've heard it a million times if u replace chevelle with civic and any 14 sec car like a 350z or wRX for the F2.
