Using one of those 1/4 mile calculators, it says that if I lost 50lb, I’d go from 17.1 to 16.95. That can’t possibly be right, can it? ---

they say that 100lbs off is .1 off your ET so 50lbs would be .05 off. So with that said it should be 17.05 then. ---

that figure is for the average weight car. now lets go to the other extreme. a motorcycle. 100 lbs is going to be alot more then .1 because its alot higher ratio. if you go from 400=\>300 lbs on a bike you just changed 25% thats alot more effect on the time then if you go from 4000=\>3900 thats only 2.5% so it might be true with a car that you can put in your pocket when you go to the mall. ---

I had a Mazda 323 with Corksport strut and sway bars, Eibach Pro-Kit springs, Tokico HP shocks, et cetera… 90 whopping horsepower, but the car handled insanely.
