A high 13 would be something like 13.8 a low 14 would be 14.2 Its simply a measure of how long it takes your car to go a quarter mile from a standing start. What some people dont realize is going from a 20 second quarter mile to a 19 second quarter mile would be pretty cheap. So many people think, why isnt going from 10 seconds to 9 seconds easy? Its 1 second less in both cases? However, in the first instance, 20 to 19, represents a 5 percent decrease in time. A 10 to 9 is a ten percent decrease in time. My 150 hp 98 V6 will do the quarter in 17 seconds so it seems like a 300 hp cobra would do it 8.5 right? Nope, doesnt work like that. Its weird.
