    what a pile of junk. 15.02 in a stock Jetta GTX. I know it wont do better than a 16.5 with a good driver. What a difference.

    OK. did a little test. A stock Z06 will run the 1/4 in 12.5 sec. According to the converter, for a 405hp car to run the 1/4 in 12.5 sec it must be 4050lbs. I happen to know the corvette isnt that heavy (not by a long shot). So dont take any of that at face value. In fact, dont value it at all.

    sites like that give bench racing a new name. Doesnt state anything about FWD, RWD, or AWD. ya pretty brutal site. and Black94GT there is no way in hell you can run 15.1, so that goes to show haha
    the only 2nd gen probe running that low has 2000 into the engine, and a 55 shot... Pretty damn sad

    Actually mine was spot on. Converted to standard atmosphere and temperature my 15.6 turns into a 14.9, that calculator estimated 14.9 as well.
    You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

    The only way those programs are anywhere near useful is if you use your stock horsepower, and manipulate the weight until you get a 1/4 mile number of your car stock. Then you can use that as a baseline to see where different mods will take you.
