1/4 mile times

[dvernst]

How can you tell what a 1/4 mile time should be just by the mph?

mph vs weight indicates HP
with MPH known and weight of vehicle you can determine the HP and then entire run give or take what might be lost in the first 60 due to traction

average GN hardtop is 3500-3600
regal Ts are about 50-100 lighter

remember to add driver weight
for my 87 GN with some lighter items like wheels and bumper supports its 3650 with driver and fuel

if you know what car weighs on a scale your #s will be closer to actual
