Ran the mx-3...kinda

Post by Bri94GS »

My freind has this thing called an accelerometer, which somehow calculates 1/4 times and trap speeds. I didn't think it would be very accurate, but he said he tried it on a bunch of cars who also ran at the track, and it's usually only about 0.1-0.2 seconds off from the real E.T.<P>Anyways, I used it on the mx-3 tonight, and my best run was 16.94@83mph w/ another person in the car. Just thought i'd share...

it just divids your acceleration time by the time it takes to get to whatever distance it is you want to travel.. i think..<P> :p heh
