12 second's in that big ass truck, not too bad lol.

 

I dont know if that would work out as a 12... Most "Calculators" assume that your not already TOPPED OUT at the 1/8th. They'd be stuck on the limiter for the other 1/8th of the track and wouldnt be accelerating, just stuck @ around 80mph. I assume the calculator the youtube video user used to get the 12.8 didnt cap the vehicle off at 80mph, probably said like a 105-110mph trap which these things obviously cant do.

While that could be true, the same could be said about a lot of 1/8th mile cars (usually they are all gearing). The fact remains that big ass truck is faster than a lot of cars on this site haha.

 

FWIW, the easiest way to determine 1/4 mile from 1/8th is to take the 1/8th mile et and times it by 1.5. It's not an exact science, but usually comes pretty close

Exactly. I'm actually surprised they hit above 70, likely most of that is tire diameter.
