Most of the time 1/4 mile timings are captured with the trap speed. Now here's the boggle:

Maybe you can help by explaining what is trap speed. I know you guys who like to chiong chiong loves the 1/4 mile race, but never hear of trap speed.

[Turbobrick]

The trap speed is also known as the terminal speed captured at the 1/4 mile mark.

OIC, I tot tat was the speed kena booked by the white ant.

 

I think for those with sequential twin turbo, it may not be proportional. The terminal velocity gets better as it goes, say 1/2 mile or more, kekekeke

Bro, must pit U against another CK with S40T4! Will be fun to see a lighter 200bhp HPT against your twin snails!

 

All in the name of car enthusiasm and fun right?

Just heard tis morning another CK Lim frm the Mindef on radio.

Which CK , wazzit frm one of the motoring mags or the silverado T4 manual?

One of our B4 was pounced b4 so u planning another chiong session hah!

 

By power to weight ratio, I say it will be no contest for the initial 200 but after 400,the playing field is anyone's guest.

Another CK with dark blue T4 lah. Let's see how it goes, I'll lug my heavy brick behind U guys too!
