Drag Strip Results for FE Powered Vehicles / Re: Calculate ET change from final ratio change?
« on: December 12, 2023, 01:36:11 PM »
ET is subjective to traction so there is no way to calculate it. most calculators use hp and weight and perfect traction (no wheel spin) for results which has no bearing on gear ratios.

Tuesday my local Ford dealer announced that after 90 years in business they are no longer a Ford dealership. Ford is forcing all dealers to spend well over $200k on EV tools. For the last 2 years the poor guys couldn't get vehicles to sell, then throw in the strike and price increases on top of that. I know of two other small town long time Ford dealers that also threw in the towel. If I'd knew this 6 months ago, I'd a bought a new Honda instead of a Maverick ( which I love btw). I see another bailout in the future.

and I thought Harleys were the only bike that required a drip pan. I never owned British bikes, just Japanese and Italian. I'd take that one though.

You absolutely live in the nicest part of the world Heo. As a wee lad, my neighbor had a blown 289 Studebaker golden hawk. Every time he left home he got 4 gear rubber, so whenever I was making my motor noises, I always chirped all 4 gears. Drove my parents nuts.

I was so impressed when somebody crossed the 400hp line with the Y block years ago. This is incredable.

Surely one of the fastest if not thee fastest car there, as was his '58. No way can you build an 8 second car for that kind of money.
