Yeah it was at Orlando Speedworld and it was really hot! And the wheels arent that heavy there only 18's but I guess it probably would make a difference.

Trust me chrome 18's make a huge difference over what they tested on, stock 16's. Personally I wouldn't put anything bigger then a 17 and a lightweight rim on if you're gonna track a car. That prolly took a few tenths off your time, and the heat prolly did as well.

RE: FX35 infinity

does anybody know whats the equivalent of one pond of wheel to weight in a car. so (im just using an example) a wheel that weighs x pounds is equivelent to x pounds riding in the vehicle

Thats rediculous how in the world did they get those numbers out of a stock auto v6? I just barely made it ino the 15's? Maybe they did it with a brand new one; when I went to the track the stang had about 10k on it.

BTW, most cars run a little better at say 10, 20, 30k miles then they do at 0 miles or whatever. It looks like you have chrome rims, how big? Chrome rims are performance killers, lots of extra rotational mass is just terrible for any cars track time. That, combined with any track factors, prolly really hurt your time.

Also, did you launch on a powerbrake? Just leave the tranny in D?

when powerbraking..i hope your in D. lol

There are many many factors in determining a true rotational weight more then i understand lol, but i've always heard a rule of thumb for it is about 3:1, that is for every 1 lb a wheel weighs while sitting , multiply that x3 and you get an idea of what it weighs while moving.

He could've been in 1 and just shifted it, not that i'd endorse that idea. If people with auto trannies just floor it off the line i can't see how manually going 1, 2, 3 would be faster but some swear it is.

Now from a roll, top get in the right gear, i could see the reason and gain.
