Quarter mile times vs. engine type and power output?
Sometime ago, I started a thread asking "how much power is enough?". My thinking was ....in a small, light car with like a Cobra, at what power level "threshold" does even more power not matter to acceleration figures?
It is possible that some of the replies were....um, somewhat subjective, so maybe I could ask for replies in a different format....
What are your standing quarter mile times and speeds, and what motor (SBF, BBF etc, and what "accurately" estimated or documented FW/RW HP figures) do you run? Extra info could also included 15" or 17" wheels used for the figures, and also what rear end ratio as well.
Could make good holiday reading.
Cheers,
Glen
