Calculate You 1/4 Mile Times

[Monster-Mat]

use this link, to calculate your 1/4 mile times, you need to add the weight in Lbs

the is200 manual weighs 3157 Lbs

[Steve]

would do my own if i knew the weight

[Steve]

i got it out the lexus book mate

the one we got from JAE

[Steve]

the book states the IS max weight with goodies was 3157 LBS

have you got a fat bloke in yours?

[Monster-Mat]

yep ..my mistake, sorry

[Steve]

phew.. i can see for sale boards put up just then! everyone crying over poor performance specs!

[Monster-Mat]

well the monster with the estimated target of 700hp should do the 1/4 mile in.........

10.144

[Steve]

ouch! thats quick...

are you accounting for the extra weight of the engine and bits and bobs?? not that there will be alot of difference

[Monster-Mat]

yours weighs, 3520 Lbs steve......

yep i took into account extra weight, but for strip work the car will be lightened anyway...so should equal out

[jac114]

Well at least my view along the 1/4 mile will not be blurred...lol

[Steve]

where did you get that weight from mat??

[Monster-Mat]

HERE..WASNT HARD, I USED A SEARCH FUNCTION AVAILABLE TO ALL INTERNET USERS :D

[Steve]

wow.. from my measurements my car is 0.3 faster than the GS300

it disney make sense!

I will get mat to tell us how this works becasue it really doesnt make sense...

[Monster-Mat]

This calculator esitmates your quarter-mile elapsed time (E.T.) when given the weight of the vehicle and flywheel or "at the wheels" horsepower.

A 17% driveline loss is assumed for flywheel HP.

[Steve]

made a mistake

15.343164569986568 @ 234 BHP on the GS

[Monster-Mat]

the GS is 220 BHP Steve so 15.66 is correct

[Steve]

i was going off Craigs Dyno run

its a good tool.. but it will make people wanna spend money :o

[Steve]

all i can say mat is that a 10 sec car is bloody quick! i mean if I am gaining 2 secs on a 1/4 mile from the windom.... gaining 4 secs extra from my car at the mo is bloody exciting!

I think what i have is great.. but to sit in something with that 4 sec gain to a 10 sec car would be a great experience!

roll on the monster!

Nozzed up I am looking at 13.2 Standing Quarters.

This has been really useful cos I was gonna up the jets on my noz to get to 350bhp. now I realise that would knock a measly half second off my standing quarter time... Its not worth the extra wear on the moving parts, is it?

Great little tool that... Cheers, Mat!
