Im not sure if this should be here or in track talk.
I dont necessarily have one question, but wish to start a discussion per say. The topic is ET in realtion to MPH. For the sake of the discussion it is pertaining to AWD cars only. I see certain cars that ET 12.5 at 107 mph. Great ET for the mph. 60 foot of 1.8 to 1.7. Then there is my car. High 1.8 short times, but an ET of 12.5's @ 112. This MPH is "high", so to speak, for the ET. What I'm getting at is, what have you found that effects this in YOUR situations, and what did you do to counter it. I'm hoping some of you experienced this and found certain factors were leading to the high mph but poor ET. I realize the short time is a factor, and I feel that 1.7's should be closer to what I should aim for. The car has trouble hooking up due to huge weight transfer off the front tires. Im thinking I could hole shot a tenth or so harder if I can eliminate the weight transfer. But I feel I would still be missing 3 tenths. Ive eliminated lag between shifts, the car had a poor tune and used to lag between shifts, and would run 12.9's at 112. But at this point Im somewhat stumped.
Thanks for any input.
