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?

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.

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?

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

[typeRA]

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

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

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

[C3L1CA]

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?

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.

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

6266 on the bug.

They are.

Ok,

[cmspaz]

1.5 60' is cute to these guys.

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

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.

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
