Ran the mx-3...kinda

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...

yep..that's it...he has an older model though<P><BR>I'm gonna try it again once I put in my intake manifold spacers and throttle body spacers...hopefully that'll give me some more low end..this car is slower than i thought

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
