Pulled from another site. Just saying, if this is a true time, you are flying but only end up with an 11 second 1/4mile and that is kinda crazy, especially when you take a look at the 0-60mph conversion. Most the 1.3 and under 0-60ft that ive seen are getting low 10s/high 9s in the 1/4mile.

This is assuming a somewhat linear rate of acceleration, with a FAST 1-2 shift. It's in line with what I have measured with a G-tech accelerometer.

Have fun!

2.3 second 60' time = 35.5 mph @60' = 7.0 second 0-60 time
2.2 second 60' time = 37.1 mph @60' = 6.5 second 0-60 time
2.1 second 60' time = 38.9 mph @60' = 5.9 second 0-60 time
2.0 second 60' time = 40.9 mph @60' = 5.2 second 0-60 time
1.9 second 60' time = 43.0 mph @60' = 4.6 second 0-60 time
1.8 second 60' time = 45.5 mph @60' = 4.0 second 0-60 time
1.7 second 60' time = 48.1 mph @60' = 3.4 second 0-60 time
1.6 second 60' time = 51.1 mph @60' = 2.9 second 0-60 time
1.5 second 60' time = 54.5 mph @60' = 2.2 second 0-60 time
1.4 second 60' time = 58.4 mph @60' = 1.5 second 0-60 time
1.36 second 60' time = 60.0 mph @60' = 1.36 second 0-60 time
1.3 second 60' time = 62.9 mph @60' = 1.2 second 0-60 time
1.2 second 60' time = 68.1 mph @60' = 1.1 second 0-60 time
1.1 second 60' time = 74.3 mph @60' = 0.9 second 0-60 time
1.0 second 60' time = 81.8 mph @60' = 0.7 second 0-60 time


Here's the math:

0-60 is a function of traction, engine power, rear end gearing, shifting ability.

You can kind of back out a 0-60 from a 60 ft time. For example, if you assume a constant acceleration over the 60 ft time (which is not always a good assumption), then you can assume that your time to distance function is given by the double integral of a constant acceleration:

0.5 * acceleration*(60ft time)^2 = 60 ft

Solving this gives acceleration in ft / sec^2 of

a = 120 ft / (60ft time)^2

Since 1 MPH is about 1.47 ft/sec, assuming the constant acceleration, noting velocity is acceleration times time, and solving for the math,

Velocity at end of 60 ft is approximately 81.82 / 60ft-time (units ignored for simplicity).

In other words, take your 60 ft time, divide it into 81.82, and that will give you an approximate MPH at the end of the 60 ft.

Here's the just of it, show us a BMW, any year that has cut 1.3-1.4 60's. Any power level

The problem is that people that don't know and have only been on the forums, are suddenly experts simply because they read another guy state something similar.

Sir how the hell do you know what I have or haven't got, without knowledge you fall into the category you just mentioned.

Please stick to the facts

Really domestics can do it but Germans cars can't, why not ?

Maybe because no one has tried till now, everything is possible as long as your wallet is big enough.

That's pretty much true if you have a very linear acceleration but this does not hold so true on turbo cars especially when you spike the turbo

[nyt]

lol spike the turbo? wtf does that even mean? you're delusional. Nobody on this platform is cutting 1.3 second 60' times. It doesn't matter what you've done to your car, as there's no way you're hooking hard enough with those ridiculous 20" wheels and street tires. There's absolutely no chance. You clearly have no idea what it actually takes to cut a 1.3.

EDIT: Looking at your logs, you don't even have a chance of cracking the 500whp mark, likely under 450. There's no chance you ran that time. You're targeting 18psi and actually think you're in the 10s? Get real. Your IATs are sky high and you have timing pulls on the top end as well.

Stop acting like a fool. Nothing out of the ordinary is done to your stock turbo 135i. Your car will run a high 11 or low 12 with the correct timing and that's ok. You need to understand it and get to another track.

You really have to learn how to read or get a pair of reading glasses.

Please re read what I'm wrote

Your acting like a fool to think you know what is done to my car, your on the other side of the earth and you think you know what I have done to the car, like hell I would tell you anyone especially when you are acting like you know it all and I would not anyway.

[martymil]

If you look at the video closely and slow it right down I cross the beam at 1sec he crosses at 2 sec mark there is a large enough distance that the times are legit.

so if my sixty is out so is his, so he would be running a 2.5 sixty against my 1.8 from what you guys are stating I highly doubt that.

Get yourself a video player with a timer and slow motion.

[martymil]

Just got off the phone

I finally got a straight answer out of derek in charge of timing, there is a timing issue with the sixty foot light beam but it doesn't effect the ET he said, I cant see how that is possible ah well he finally admitted it though.

If he only admitted it in the first place when I spoke to him.

Still it only effects the left lane not the right at least the ET looks legit maybe.

I'll see if I can run the right lane only from now on, the only problem with the right lane its like a goat track and I break traction in it.

[nyt]

The ET is off as well. You're not running 10s at 118mph.

[martymil]

I never said I ran 10's

please read again

That would be my mistake, someone mentioned 10.8 somewhere.

[martymil]

I just wish they admitted they had a fault in the first place, all this could have been avoided.

Here is a time slip from the same night with wheel spin from the right lane.

[Nugs]

1.7 is still a good 60'.
1.3 was always unbelievable.

[LostMarine]

I've seen timing system errors at every track, its not un heard of. Please tell us more about all your custom stuff, a 1.3 isn't happening.

If you don't have a high stall with drag race valved shocks, corner balanced with custom spring lengths and weight,a 4 link rear, please stop trying to justify it.

If you do have all this custom work, why wouldn't you share it?

[LostMarine]

faulty 60' reading will certainly affect the ET. If the 60' read slow by say .2, then that is most likely the starting beam tripped and didn't report it for a delay of .2.

Meaning the total ET ( and any subsequent ET reading-330/660/1000 etc) is off by at least .2.

I don't believe the .1 60=.2ET rule applies here as that is a function of the cars performance and not a mechanical reading of it.

So that puts ET at BEST an 11.4 with a true 1.5 60', which doable, but not likely as you would break oem parts if you didn't upgrade.. Ask me how I know

[martymil]

I never tried to justify anything to anyone but everyone is trying to say I have nothing done to my car, all I said how the hell would anyone know what has been done or what hasn't.

Well I got my hands on a vbox sport since the track cant be trusted with their timing either left or right lane they lied, finally admitted they have a fault, now they are still charging people for racing with faulty timing. how is this justifiable.

I'll still go to the track and will be comparing the data from the vbox against the time slip
as its still the safest place to race.

[csu87]

Lol. So much for that...

except when you claimed those of us with experience didnt know..

lots of info out there if you want to improve your 60', just got to look for it

[musc]

lol

Where did I claim that some of you didn't know ?

Some people on here said

I don't know anything
I'm inexperienced
Called me names

A good way to meet people

and you guys wonder why I don't want to share any info

Way to go

I don't need to improve my 60' as all I posted was a quick time slip.

I'm trying to run and improve my time in full street trim and why I don't run full slicks is exactly what happened to your gearbox and driveshaft's.

Now if someone could run fast times in street trim that would be an milestone and not a stripped out drag racer on full slicks

[Trickcruiser]

Glad this was cleared up. I did not see it possible with the logs and videos as they just did not look 1.3 60' INSANE. Kinda feel bad for the OP as I am sure he truly thought he did something really ground breaking here... From the looks of things, I think he has a solid high 11 - low 12 car. That is truly no joke for a street car IMHO.

Are the times still posted to DragTimes?

[martymil]

No I pulled the times of drag times, will be posting up again when I get my vbox sport and compare to the slips to see how far off the track timing is.

[AWSAWS]

Funny thread. Even funnier person at the heart of the controversy.

Inaccurate timing. End of thread...
