I know you guys are talking stock shee's, but my bro has a shee that will run triple digits. It can get to it's top speed way faster than any car, and would easily beat any car.

 

The thread is about 1/8th mile racing. Also, anyone that knows anything about drag racing knows that the first 60' is the most intricate part of the race.

 

Okay. If the shee is PORTED and all the basic mods its prolly puttin out 50-60hp. so we'll do the math here and go with 50 hp. the Banshee wieghs about 386-390lbs with is a 7.72 power to weight ratio. which means for every 1 hp its acting on 7.72 pounds. The camaro on the other hand wieghs i thing a little over 3200 (which is more than the first camaro lol) and puts out 315 (2002) and it has a 10.16 power to weight ratio. That Banshee will easily take it on paper in an 1/8 mile because it will get to speed faster. But Its all up to the driver of the CAmaro and the rider of the Banshee. I think i got everything right correct me if im wrong.

 

Alright guys, I'm sick of this thread.


Click here to race on paper! (Don't forget to add the weight of the driver/rider)


race calculators

 

Race calculators are horrible ideas. That doesnt take into affect: aerodynamic drag, traction, driver ability, gearing...etc..


it said my truck will run a 16.6 at 81mph LOL...

 

The calculators use rear wheel hp, not flywheel. The companies advertise flywheel horsepower so you'll have to take that into consideration. Those calculators are really pretty close.

What kind of truck do you have?

 

I remember an article in a quad mag a few years ago where Randy Johnson has a Banshee built that would run 12s in the 1/4 on 'street tires', no way a Z28 will run 3.5 in the 1/4 unless you push it out of an airplane at 30k feet, I have smoked many of them in my 03 Cobra (stock C/D 06/2002 rated a coupe at 4.5 0-60), I dont know what mine will do (vert) but its far from stock and with the Eaton blower torque reaches 475 and horsepower 441 to the rear wheels
(most cars figure 12-15% loss from listed horsepower to the rear wheels)

 

look in my photos section. I'm not exactly sure of the HP of my engine, and i know how BHP and rwhp works, but i honestly did not expect numbers that low LOL

 

 

Hampster:

I've been racing off and on at the track for several years. I've found that the calculators work reasonably well. Aero dynamics, gear ratios, and traction are variables but the calculators consider them constant.

BTW that chevy might well do 16's but probably not if it's stock.
