Any guesstimates on 0-60 MPH based on 1/4 times and MPH?

[Fastphil]

I was just wondering if it's possible to fairly accurately guesstimate the 0-60 MPH time of a car based on its 1/4 mile time and trap speed? I'm not too hardcore into the drag racing thing, but I'd be curious to know what kind of 0-60 times I'm doing. ET and MPH in sig, that was on stock F1's. Anybody care to make a guesstimate?

I did some calculations from some stock gt500s, mustang gt's, corvettes and some other cars quarter miles times on street tires. But mainly rear wheel drive v8 coupes, and their 0-60 ranged from about 30% to 37% of their quarter mile time. The 30% being for the corvettes, and the higher numbers being for the mustangs. This will obviously be affected with drag radials, but i would say it will give a good idea on street tires.

Here's a good site to mess around on. At least it's what I could find on it.

According to ole Wallace, my car goes 0 to 60 in 1.92 seconds. Dayum!

It's hilarious to enter in your times to see the 60' lmao. With my terrible 60's it's still like 2.4 or 2.6.

It's no wonder they scare normal people.:thumbsup:

Mine was 3.89 while on the stock tires, boost, full weight etc.

To figure 0-60 times it would be a better estimator to use 1/8th mile info since a car will not accelerate as quickly from 660'-1320' as it does from 0'-660'.

That is what the formula on the wallace website uses.

I know that is what I was emphasizing. The OP asked about converting 1/4 times.
