i do think and know you're wrong about a 700 whp car getting 30mpg. if it can, then why dosen't every car get 30mpg? i mean surely auto makers will do anything to get that kind of mileage right now.

700WHP cars getting 30MPG? Maybe he is living on a different planet Eugenics? Seeing as how that does not happen here //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

to a certain degree yes, that is true. but both are just numbers measured by a device with too many variables. with racing motors, we can get the dyno to read whatever we would like it too. we have had motors that perform great on the track but dont read half as great on the dyno as the motor that lacks some serious power on the track. different numbers from dyno to dyno across the nation dont mean shit. if you were to stick them all on the same dyno in a controlled environment, then that is a different story. but dyno numbers dont really mean too much. it can let you know if you are in the ballpark, but youi dont know shit until you hit the track.

I agree. That's why I say a dyno is just a tool to tune your car. There is too many variables when it comes to what kind of power your car will put down. Different dynos, weather, elevation, etc. will all effect dyno #'s.

Look whos in the 16s //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
Ford Mustang GT (auto) 8.0 16.1

now if you have a manual your 1/4 time is 15.1

My car with nitrous would be in the 15s no problem. so STFU. kthxbye

My car runs high 15s low 16s stock so im sure I can get in the low 15s with nitrous.

What YOU will run and what someone else has run are two different things. Again there are a lot of variables when it comes to what ET you will get. It's not as simple as just going to the track and stomping on the gas as hard as you can when that green light comes on.

Also why would having a manual get you a lower ET? Auto>manual as far as it goes for the 1/4. Then manual>auto when it comes to the road course //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

well if you know what youre doing manual > auto on the track. Gotta know WHEN to shift, how to shift, and be quick about it. Autos are a bit sluggish on a launch. Torque converters are like bungee cords when they take off... they gotta get force going behind em and some speed before it transfers the energy to the wheels.

maybe on high power applications auto>manual, but your general modded cars are QUICKER manual. this has been proven.

Well, a properly built auto will shit on a manual of the same car anyday. Low stall speeds on your factory torque converter contribute to the lag that you get when you take off. A higher stall speed will get you quicker launches.

Auto transmissions will always have a much higher drivetrain efficiency loss; thats just physics.

A correctly built auto will hand a manual it's ***. With a high stall converter it will get the car in it's power band very quickly, on top of that it will keep it in it's power band. They are easier to launch than a manual and will be more consistent. It will also shift faster than a person can (IMO) and will never miss a shift. This is the reason an auto is better in the 1/4 than a manual.

.... ya i bet putting your foot on the gas and going down the track is a blast.

I love shifting as i make my way down a dragstrip. id rather have slower times and do that then just press a pedal; any 16 year old can do that..

besides a well built auto will be horrible for daily driving and cost thousands, thats why you only seem them on drag queens and NEVER on weekend warriors.
