The FWD DSM platform is not bad really, you can get them quite light! Any estimates on the final weight? If you can break into the 9s at the challenge that will be legendary! He's done a lot to advance the 1G Auto platform for drag racing. If you've seen Kiggly's car in person, its a wonder! He is a chief engineer at Pratt & Miller, so he kinda knows his stuff. It illustrates the challenge for the platform. Kiggly's 60' is incredible for a FWD and a slug for a RWD with equivalent quarter mile ET. A 1.25 is on par for RWD car running 8.99-9.00 quarter mile times. A RWD car would be running 1.11 and quicker 60' times to run 7 second quarter mile times. Kiggly racing is hitting 1.25s 60ft with a fwd Pymouth Laser, but that car has seen decades of development: You may have something you can get down the track with but I would think time will not be in your favor and it will get out of shape and try to swap ends at some point (fighter jet).Ĭonsider this, All Super cars use longitudinal mounting and that eliminates the rotational input relative to the car's pitch rotation.Įngiekev said: wheels777 said: engiekev said:

To run 9s you're going to be rolling over 134 mph and the air could also be potentially lifting the front end making the front end even lighter. I would be very leary about building an all out effort with the Fiero/LS-4 combo. So, now to your question.if your car is pitching up from acceleration and the engine torque is compounding that rotation. If you trans mount your engine it will pitch the chassis up do to engine torque. If you place the engine in the back the front end is lighter.

That makes the front end lighter and the rear heavier. How is engine rotation relevant?įWD and RWD cars pitch up during acceleration. I'd even say that I'm wildly ignorant of the subject but always willing to learn. KyAllroad (Jeremy) (Forum Supporter) said:Įngine rotation? I'm so lost, I understand that drag racing is not my forte'.
