    0-60 times

    Might already be there and I missed it. Is there a 0-60 table anywhere??

    If not it could be added as an extra column in the 1/4 mile times.

    Problem is, how do you verify the times? Now I claim to have done the sprint in under 4 seconds, but I have no proof, all I can tell you is that after 8.141 seconds I was doing 86.39mph

    hmm, good point. Does it not appear on the slip from the 1/4 mile?

    No it doesn't appear on the slip, but can be calculated from the 60ft time and summat else , can't quite remember wot thou .
    But going back to the 0-60 thing , we could still have a table even if there not verified, cos it does will create some great conversation when the claims start rolling in

    there's an online calculator which gives you a 0-60 time based on your 1/8th mile speed and elapsed time.
    personally, I think it's a tad optomistic.
    I've recorded a 4.1 sec.

    Thats the one Derek ..

    And 4.1 sec 0-60 .. I don't think thats optomistic .. I think thats quite viable if you were running close to 450bhp with NOS .. Give or give a 10th or 2 maybe ..
