The 4th Gen rule??????
Is this true?....
"A good rule of thumb for 4th Gen F-Bodies is 100 lbs = 10 hp = 1/10 a second off 1/4 mile time. Figure out a way to get rid of 200 lbs and you have bettered yourself in the 1/4 mile about what a 20hp mod would do for you!" |

Re: The 4th Gen rule??????
eh, pretty much, its a rule of thumb, but lots of variables outside of it.

Re: The 4th Gen rule??????
You have to be smart when removing weight from your car, If you want it to help you in the 1/4 mile.. For instance.. sheering 200lbs off the ass end of a Camaro isnt gonna get you through the 1/4 mile much faster, and the car will handle like garbage..
I dont know the 4 corners, but I think the Weight distrobution is something like 58-42.. remove weight and move weight around to your advantage.. You want to try keep close to a 50/50 weight ratio! |
