these are the commonly available "ET calculators" that give a rough HP number needed to get a certain ET for a certain weight, and they are reasonably accurate..

the thing is.. to move a given mass a given distance (400m) in a given time (11sec), you have to expend a certain amount of energy. expending that energy in a given time frame is POWER.

show me a 7000lb vehicle that does 11 seconds on the 1/4 with less than 1000hp and i'll be very amused Smile

as was said in the power vs torque thread, there's no point having huge torque if it isn't moving quickly (ie 50,000Nm water wheel)

i'm not saying diesels or trucks are not fast (our own "super trucks" are astonishing!!, racing prime movers with massive hp, which, since they are diesel and have limited rpm, means HUGE torque, and they are fast http://truckracing.com.au/ )

Quote:

Displacement: 12 litre, 6 cylinder, Bore 130mm Stroke 150mm
Twin Schwitzer Turbochargers, running speed 175,000 RPM
Boost: 61 PSI
The Freightliner: engine develops in excess of 1500 bhp @ 2500 RPM and 4200 ft lbs of torque.
The Freightliner in race trim weighs 5500 kg
Approximate standing 1/4 mile time, 13 seconds
160 km/h in 12 seconds

the ET calcs predict (for this 12100lb monstor) 12.3 seconds.. given that it is restricted in top speed, and has massive traction problems, it's not far fetched.
to do an 11.0, it would need around 2200hp...

anyway, wtf do US pickups have to do with F vs G heads anyway....

i'd like to see one do the drifting Inky Tulloch does Wink
