I was just kind of curious to see if anybody out there has figured out a rough formula for fwd cars to convert the 0-60mph time to a 60' time. I just wanna know because there is not a track around here and i want to compare my launches to other ppl's stats on here. I can measure my 0-60 w/ my cd player.
Or if anyone just wants to tell me what an 8.75(ish:D cd player timing) is in a 60' time that would work tooLOL thanks , peace
 
There is no way you could do this accurately. The time frame for 60' is so short, any small amount off would be detrimental. With loss of traction and a shift in there, your numbers could vary .1-.5 seconds, and when you are talking about 2 seconds altogether, half a second is a big variance.

for instance, look at these guys ONE HUNDREDTH OF A SECOND DIFFERENCE in the 1/4 mile:
[email protected] 1.630
[email protected] 1.826

That's almost 2 tenths difference in 60ft! I can pull a 1.8, even a 1.7, doesn't mean my 0-60 is even close to someone running a 10.9
