#1 1/4 mile time.....sound a little fast
Mildman Posted on: 2007/2/1 19:43
Hey all,

I'm just updating the 1/4 mile time log on the wiki and got up to burkealot's time.....it seems a little too quick to me.

Do others think it is possible?

well it says 1200, doesnt say stock 1200

but boofheads 1200 is far from stock and crossed the line in the 17's

i would say burkealots time seems a LOT too quick?

#### yeah, just a couple of seconds too quick. maybe he typed 14 instead of 16???

I thought so - I don't want to be a bitch...but I don't want the wiki to be full of inaccuracies either. Maybe he means 17.4 rather than 14.7?

Although even a 17.4 sounds pretty fast for an A12 120Y running stock clutch, gb and diff. Fat_120Y's turboed A12 w/ 10+psi only makes 16s.....

Can anyone calculation how much power/torque at the wheels that equates too?

I dont think he's ever raced it on a drag strip. I think its all BS.


PS. There would be a time for me but the ACT government seems to think its better that we dont have a dragway

that's cr@p. If the government are going to bang on 24/7 about street drags and dangerous driving, they need to provide/ subsidise reasonable alternatives.

Using a fairly generous vehicle weight of 850KG and his trap speed I get 107rwhp....

Sounds a little low for that time - but even so that is an extremely high figure for an A12 that doesn't even have a turbo!

I'll give burke_a_lot some time to refute my claims....but I think he has the time wrong, or at worst just made it up.

A Standard A12 in a 1200 gives around 25-30 RWhp, lets double that and use 800 kg as the weight and you still only get a 19 in "perfect" conditions!

I think burkealot will poast (thanks for that gem Peter) less now school holidays are finished.

indeed it is crap, if they kept their promise it would have been completed next year... but no, they just want our votes and to screw us over.
