It probably won't be until the end of January, but anyone want to guess what 35# of rotating weight (mostly off the back tires) will be worth in E.T.? I've read anything from 1.5 to 10x the static weight. My previous calculation show about 1# = .003 even in the 1/8th mile... I'm guessing the new wheel & tire combo will be worth .25.... could there be a high 14-sec run in the Turismo's future? |
Hey Beard I have a 115 lb driver. I want him to drive that car anyway to learn how to drive a BIG CAR even though its 2 seconds slower than his Jr. But wait with him in it maybe 9.30?
