Bit of a random question this ,

what sort of a time would my nova run at the pod ?

15,16,17 seconds ?? a ball park figure would do .

its a 2L 16v xe,
172 bhp
fully stripped out ( and i do mean everything bar dash)
coilovers

would it be worth a trip to the pod ???

what do u guys think ?? :thumb:

I would expect anything from low 15s to low 14s depending on the driver and the set up. Most standard xe novas do mid 14s

down to tyres/pressures, suspension setup, driver skill, gear ratios etc...

hell you could pull a 16sec out of the bag ;) lol

i am working on a 1/4 estimator but its funking hard work to get it accurate and reliable

that assumes "specific" gearing though...... it dosent ask for enough data to be properly accurate with things like Terminal speed... the times might be ok but thats not a full story imho.
