Re: NHRA goes after Street Outlaws
 

If you're not already running consistent 9's or better, you're probably wasting your time. I wonder how fast that Bug is? 10's?

Re: NHRA goes after Street Outlaws
 

You might even have to be faster than that. Dave's Sonoma made 1400-1500whp on the dyno if I remember correctly. That should be a strong mid to high 7 sec ride in the 1/4, mid to high 4 seconds in the 1/8th.

Re: NHRA goes after Street Outlaws
 

keep in mind these guys for the most part all have terrible 60s, so each tenth there is 2 at the 1320

I was just thinking of getting on the show to race the dung beetle, not necessarily win. Can anyone identify the turbo? Probably somewhere between 50-60lbs/min?

Re: NHRA goes after Street Outlaws
 

Terrible 60' times to pull the wheels on the street like that.

Re: NHRA goes after Street Outlaws
 

implying a wheel off the ground translates into good 60s

it's actually the opposite, most cars that pull a wheel will end up going slower up to the 330 than those that launch squatted, same car all else equal

Re: NHRA goes after Street Outlaws
 

That's what I was thinking, LoL

I think what he's saying is that traction is not an issue,...

Re: NHRA goes after Street Outlaws
 

my point is, the cars are fast, but against a nicely done awd dsm on similar tires, the gap would likely close considerably

Re: NHRA goes after Street Outlaws
 

You said terrible 60', not terrible 330'. For a car to pull the wheels on the street it has got to have some pretty good power and traction. To me that does not equal terrible 60' times.

What would you think is a good 60'? What kind of 60 and 330 do you run?

Re: NHRA goes after Street Outlaws
 

Before you become vindictive, I was a regional nhra tech inspector for 3 years, and managed race operations for a few more.

The proof is in how the cars shank horribly every pass, it looks like a rail car without vht

to play the course: I have a bested 1.558 from a stock longblock, stock turbo 98 wrx.

Re: NHRA goes after Street Outlaws
 

I thought they were doing 1/8 mile on the street?

6266 on the bug.

Re: NHRA goes after Street Outlaws
 

They are.

Re: NHRA goes after Street Outlaws
 

Ok,

Re: NHRA goes after Street Outlaws
 

1.5 60' is cute to these guys.

Re: NHRA goes after Street Outlaws
 

I would hope so, for the car had under 300whp, versus their 1000+

Re: NHRA goes after Street Outlaws
 

Thanks

The curb weight of a stock 1966 bug is 1672 Lbs. With a 6266 at that weight ballpark, I suppose it could do 9's. Faster than I was thinking.

Re: NHRA goes after Street Outlaws
 

Didn't mean to sound vindictive and terrible to one person might be fantastic to another.

My guess is I would love to have some of those top guys terrible 60' times lol.

I do wish you could find out what some of those guys run though. I don't think my bike would have anything even for the number 10 guy lol
