gearing???? Wow, you are stupid. These cars are not nearly fast enough to be gear limited in the quarter mile. That takes specialty transmissions for dedicated drag cars.
Better launches = potential better 60 ft times however those can be deceiving of a bad launch as excessive wheelspin can give the illusion of a better launch. That is most likely what you are referring too. I will contend that a lower et does not always equal a better trap speed but there is an extremely strong correlation.
A bad launch = wasted energy.
Better launch = better 660 feet times with you getting through the first two gears over a shorter time. Guess what you are at 3rd gear quicker due to the better launch. 60' times mean nothing to me on street tires. They can be misleading. 660' is a better indicator. My 660' et always correlates to a higher trap speed.
If you have a better launch you will certainly have a better 330' time and be at a higher mph at the 330' marker. This will result in a higher 660' mph and then a higher 1320' mph.
To say that a bad fucked up launch will get you a higher trap is just ludicrously stupid. Great launches equate to better et and better trap speeds. This is drag racing 101.
I am done posting in this thread as clearly you are irrepairrably stupid.
60' is not misleading.
If you were half as smart as you think we are dumb, you would get this.
you need to look at the whole system from launch to the top of the track. i think your big fail here is you seem to think that acceleration is constant or somehow increasing towards the end of the track. its not. its decreasing.
My point here is if you measured the G forces from launch to finish they would be tapering off.
gearing is fixed. by fixed i mean that it isnt going to change while the car is in motion. we will assume for this that the redline of the engine is not exceeded. the gearing makes torque multiplication happenen. the gear ratios and engine redline dictate how fast in each gear the car can go.
a stock car and a modded one go the exact same speed in each gear assuming tire size and engine rpm are the same. the difference is he modded car makes more torque which is then multiplied thru the gears to achieve even higher wheel torque. that is why the car accelerates quicker. its creating more force.
at some point i guess we should delineate what is acceleration and what is velocity, but that seems like its way past the scope of you getting it since you have them hopelessly confused already.
so back to our on topic off topic biopic here in a bit.
i am going to the store and do some non interwebz stuff for a while while you fume and stare with a cocked head at the screen.
