I was wondering how much of a role does a good 0-60 time have on the drag strip? Does it equate to a better 60'? A better 1/4 mile time? Ive shaved a good second off of my stock acceleration time. I recorded a low 5 second run to 60mph. According to that alone, is there any way of maybe estimating other times? I am planning a visit to a drag strip. Ive found that a relatively low RPM brake torque netted me the least wheel spin, hence better times. I also didn't short shift in D like it usually does. As you can see in the vid, it shifted at redline both times. Would my times be better in manual mode?

Vid: (Use a stop watch; I clocked 5 sec every single time)

 

Stopwatch + Human = inaccurate.

Manual mode will be faster on the drag strip, dont start thinking too much and go to the strip and try it out.

 

^ you're right. And the run is actually in the low 5 sec range.

 

yup stop watch= inaccurate , i used my friends computer with the Up rev tune to just look into my air fuel ratios and decided to check my time, and no i didn't tune my G. my worst time was5.1 which only happened 1's then i ran 4 times 0-60 in 4.9sec's but that was 5 months ago had 20' wheels a fat friend in the car lol. and didn't have test pipes not the motordyne titanium exhaust lol. lets see how fast i am now. and the computer connected to yours is accurate.
