R32 Rb20 1/4 Mile Tests

All the guessing in the world won't make any difference in your life unless you actually do it for real. What is happening with you guys these days ? What's next, asking if you could sprint 100mtrs in 7sec if you were wearing so and so shoes and had your hair parted in the middle for less wind resistance ? Perhaps if I tell my phone I weigh 100kilos and can leg press 600lbs for 12 reps @ 8% body fat I could get that down to 3 seconds.

These guessing gadgets are useless. Get out there and as Nike would say, "just do it".

I am quite aware of the fact I wont be able to get a very accurate time from posting on forums or using a freaking iPhone....and WILL take my car to WSID...When its done but till then I was trying to get a second opinion on my guestimates and see if the general SAU community thought I was being a bit optimistic.

You seem like the kid who used to kick over peoples sand castles, I work in the automotive industry and am not a dimwitted 17 year old so dont assume I'm a moron. and even if I was you shouldn't have such a facetious attitude.

With that info someone that is knowledgable and experienced should be able to give me ballpark figures.

So, Does someone who isn't a K to the N O B have an opinion?

210rwkw should be getting you down the strip pretty well in an R32.

However what i dont understand is using second hand 235s.

Im sure you are aware that as good as power is, traction is just as important. Have you got a button clutch? i can see your 60fts are just gonna be full of wheelspin already. Doesnt take alot in the 60ft to absolutely kill your times. Unless you are a freak at launching, but most of us arent

Pretty much whatever you lose in the 60, double by the end.

I would recommend if your serious about 12s then look into some sticky tires to get a good launch. Your times will improve heaps, and after all thats what we all want, right?
