Just as a comparison for Martin,
off the top of my head my 12.6 run had a terminal of 111.5mph with an ET of 1.7 seconds. One of my earlier runs was a bit of an odd one, 13.2 with a terminal of 119mph
Incidentally, I rip out the seats/spare wheel etc etc to give me as much assistance as possible and only have at the v most 1/4 tank of race fuel in.

Bob'5s managed 3.7 to 60 and 11.7 in a 340bhp classic....so it can be done.

3.7s 0-60mph was really quite poor - knackered tyres and 1st outing with new ratios - 1/4s came up at 12.3s on that day.Would like to get it timed again. Still enough to win the event though (GP Tuner RWYB)

- no way would I be that brutal with the car!! 
What it does mean though is that I should be able to achieve around 5 seconds to 60 (maybe even duck below 5) without being too cruel which is much more "real world" relevant I guess.Ns04

a little....but you shoudl be crossing the line at about 110....or 112 to get comfortably in the 12s...(as in 12.5 say) so on a hot day id expect to see you at 106-108....
My last run i crossed the line doing 108 (335bhp car) in about 27degrees which isnt much different....witha buggered gearchange.

Neilo,
So pretty much what mine was then 12.6 @ 111.5 is about right then
Any thoughts on how one run could be so slow 13.2 but have terminal of 119?

I reckon it means
321 x 0.9 = 289.
=> 1270 / 289 = 4.39.
