Its also a drag racing mantra that 10hp = .1 in the 1/4. Therefore, .5 seconds = 50 hp. Something else to think about. Not that the part adds 50hp, but it does allow for better power transfer that can simulate HP

So you wasted all that time with your elementary adding to prove what?
You are not adding driver's error which is a big part of racing. According to your calculations 'roughly 90mph' is a bold variable. A 16 year old driver with limited driving experience can drag like the best of them to obtain your #s? Right. Your numbers are not stable.
Quit hijacking the thread. This is not a drag racing post. Like I said, I don't care about 1/4 times because 99.15252566234% of tC owners x 44 - 524235.553 = Most don't care to abuse a little car like ours, or really appreciate .5 second gains from beating on their car, let alone go to a track to test .5 seconds and 66 feet slamming the engine to poop for what? The only tCs i know i.e. that 12 second tC with all it's glory and that tC dragster maybe might appreciate it but for the rest of us... Give us our SC and shave off a second in stock 0-60 times and then you are butt dynoing a smile from everybody entering on ramps...
Hang out on a MOPAR site and go buy a souped up charger, roadrunner, or a viper if you want to know how much difference .5 seconds will give you in 1/4 times....

first off I'm not cutting down anybody... He referred to me as ignorant in the first place and responded with a crude equation to make himself feel better or smarter? lalala Who cares.
Second, manuals don't have transmissions like automatics and was the point. It was a joke anyway when said.
Learn this thing called humor and retort. It is a wonderful thing your highness.... And this is coming from someone that calls himself an engifineer

watch out engifineer!!! Motozen is also a ninja, and can kill you in less time than a blink of an eye. Dont ____ this guy off if you know whats good for you.
BTW, I almost forgot about that manuals dont have transmission statement, one funniest thing I've read on here.

90 miles per hour (roughly the quarter-mile speed at the end of the track) divided by 60 is 1.5 miles per minute.
his equations involve starting at a constant speed,
At the moment you cross the finish line, you will be going 1.5 miles a minute if you are going 90mph at that point. I'm not talking about constant speed, I'm talking about an instantaneous moment of time.
Since you didn't grasp that point, I'll put it another way: in bracket racing, a .5 breakout is considered a horrible time. .1 indicates something went wrong, and .2 means something seriously went wrong. .5 would mean you should give up and go home.
