1/8th - 1/4 mile Question
Odd question but if a car is running a 6 sec @ 112 1/8th what time will it run in the quarter? ........there again it's probably runnin 5.10 gears, but I'd fit a 4.10 gear if that where the case. ..........
As you have rightly indicated you cannot really tell as it will run right out of revs.
What you really need is the rough BHP it makes and its weight; gives you much more to work with.....you can then substitute Tyre Heights and gear choices in the programmes that predict ET's and MPH..........
