Red Tornado Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Will be a facinating test of the ST2 different setups as we will likely be running 8.15 or 8.1 power to weight given size tires and weight. Will create some wild straightline and handling differences vs the vettes. The question is can a set of A's last for 40 minutes under 3,500lbs...of course when was the last time we raced for the full 40 minutes.

robbodleimages Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 obviously i am not understanding something. how are you getting to 8.1 - 1 weight to power? the way i understand it with 275 wide dot's and 3400lbs+ i have to run 9.0 to 1. what am i missing?

Vettedoctor Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 At 3501 they will recieve a +0.3 and for the 275 you will recieve a +0.4 So if you have a car that makes 435 rwhp and weights 3501 this would give you a power to weight of 8.04 then you add the +0.3 for the higher weight and the +0.4 for the smaller tires. This gives you an adjusted power to weight of 8.74 and therefore legal for ST2. Hope that helps, Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Tornado Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Exactly. Will be curious though if A6 275/18's can last for a nationals race well under all that weight. Hoping its a cool day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbodleimages Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 i dont expect to see anything like that kind of rwhp with my mustang. 375-380 maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperkins Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Exactly. Will be curious though if A6 275/18's can last for a nationals race well under all that weight.Hoping its a cool day My car is +/- 3150 and the 275's (not considering shock fatigue) fall off a good bit after about 25min at Rd Atl. I can't imagine what they'd be like after 30min at a place like MO with that much weight and power. I would think that tire choice/maint would trump power in that situation.

Red Tornado Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 The catch is when was the last time one of our races was green for 40 minutes or even 30... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Tornado Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 So huge 22 car field so far in ST2 looks like. Nice range of vehicles. Will have to see if us Boss 302s's car upset the vette's. Was running only 1.5 seconds off pace this past wknd with R6's at 14 heat cycles and down 20rwhp so feeling optimistic. My guess is high 31's and 32's constant will be needed for top 3 for sure.
