You can't just keep adding more traction or more gear and keep going faster. You can't just keep shifting better and keep going faster. Eventually, the system is maxed out.
I'm disappointed at how superstitous this forum is. Maybe if you guys pray really hard or burn an effigy of a Camaro before you run, you can knock of another .1!
Anyway, I'd never claim that you can look at the peak hp of a car and the weight and know EXACTLY what kind of 1/4 mile it would run...but you can predict the best case scenario and therefore the calculator is a valid sanity check and fairly consistent. One problem is that dynos are inconsistent and temps/airpressure/humidity vary its tough to know exactly how much Power you're making...but it will get you consistently in the ballpark.
I was done. You guys brought the thread back.
So somebody tell me how fast a 400hp, 3800lb car could run the quarter mile... What's the best possible time that could possibly be run in ideal conditions? What are you basing this answer on?

Ok. Nmra is a bit more lenient than NHRA they do have open exhaust so they do make a few more hp. And there race weight is around 3650. But out that trap speed in one of you calculators. Or out that time and let's see how much power an exhaust offer a stock coyote.

So you can't just add traction. Here NMRA factory stock 2011 coyote. Running 11.6 at 110. Now please shut up about HP calculators and Motortrend. And go the the **** track.

I was going to let this die b/c I have actual obligations for my time....but I just checked out the video...and you're on crack. ....look at the mods the owner listed in the comments. Full exhaust, tune, suspension, drag radial big/littles, custom torque converter and a driveshaft not to mention whatever weight he pulled out of it. Oh, but the motor is sealed.
Thanks for proving my point.

Not like it matters. You don't trust the internet unless it's MotorTrend or some random speed calculator and I don't put all my trust into magazines or speed calculators. At least we agree the Blue is the fastest color.

I do believe the OP but I can also see why some have doubts.
Those are Z06 numbers and with just bolt on's and drag radials and the poor 60ft
things do not add up.
The 119 trapp also indicates more power then most get with CAI/tune
It looks like you got a factory ringer and a killer tune.

than run phil! he's just a c5z with some basic bolt ons who put in the 425-430 hp range! Your boy crab had some problems with it and he was full bolt on 5.0 if you think c6z are easy! I would put a driver error on the c6z driver cause it shouldn't be that close!

I know Phil, Fran, Mark, Joel, Billy(04 Cobra I posted on here)and all them real well, we all hangout. And I have all of Crabb's parts off his 5.0 when his popped.
But Joel(pro charged C5Z) and I went for a LATE night ride(3-4am) and some guy and his girl lauged at Joel and tried to run him and got DUMMPED on so I came up from a 40 roll and put a fender on him...agree the car needed a driver mod but I still got a C6Z
But a well driven stock C6Z is what, 122? On the street that isn't alot...

what did you put down after the longtubes? was it worth it compaired to the off road x? I remember when you were on the dyno at matts shop and the numbers were uncorrected but what does it put down now corrected (SAE) ? just trying to see if they are worth it when FI goes on next month!

I didn't read through all seven pages of mostly useless drivel but I will say if you ran a 11.anything with your mods and a 1.94 60 that's a strong top end on that car. I ran a 12.58@112 with my car with same sixty. I'm automatic on street tires and just a tune/cai/ and a/b.
good numbers and will only get better with a good launch. Congrats

I've been running the Bama hybrid tune for a few days now and I've got to say that it is the best tune i've used by far. (so far i've had tunes by Steeda, C&L, and many from Bama).
Great job Bama!!
