How Close Is The Evic To Real Times ?

[moparjoe 1]

was playing with the car on Saturday, air temp 38 deg f, spun alot because the road was cold...

got a 4.3 0-60 out of her, did one 1/4 mile log, spun a bit, ran a 12.7 113mph....from what

I felt on working with the 0-60's, I lost a .2 on the 1/4 run, I think 12.5's are not out of the question, but

I really like the mph, could be a 12.5 115 ???

Has anyone found out how close this stuff is to real track time....I can't wait till Friday night at St. Thomas....

[lakersfan7272 59]

Not terribly close, usually off a couple tenths in my experience

[moparjoe 1]

to generous, or not generous enough ?

[rdrdr90 35]

Wait for the track. EVIC racing is not all that accurate, as stated above. Wheel spin can throw it off.

Good luck on Friday!

[rtr0id 73]

my guess is that the evic uses the tire rotation to calculate. so the more you spin the more your off

[rdrdr90 35]

12.5 @ 115 would mean your ET is off. You should be lower on the ET.

[moparjoe 1]

I spun a few times lightly and dropped from a 4.3 to a 4.5, so when I spun lightly on the 12.7 run @ 113mph I'm just guessing I could of got those couple of points back and maybe 1 or 2 mph ??

The track will be alot better & the temps for Friday night are looking to be around 50 F

Last time I went with my R/T I made 17 passes for $15.00 - a heck of a bargain ....

Wheel spin will actually make your ET more generous when using the EVIC, if anything you actually would have been slower than 12.7 depending on how much you spun. But in theory, your mph should be lower on the EVIC if you spin because you didn't get to pull a full 1/4 mile (you were cut short due to spin).

Either way I don't find it an accurate way of judging what your car will actually run. I'd say the more accurate timer is the 0-60, the only wheel spin to worry about is going into 2nd for autos or going into 3rd for 6speeds. Any spin on launch doesn't effect the 0-60 timer as it would on the 1/4 mile timer.

So if you are timing the car using the EVIC to get see how mods change your time, I would either take it to the track or use the 0-60 timer. Too many variables with the EVICs 1/4 mile timer.

I'm not understanding that wheel spin will make your et more generous ....you think the distance would be encoded by the fronts, for that exact reason....

I don't think dodge would have been that smart.

[Yellow Jacket 26]

Speed is read from the front tires, but I'm not sure about distance.

[srt5939 159]

Off about 3 tenth's from my experience

[chris1992 11]

Not sure why Chrysler didn't think of it, or SRT for the matter. But I'm pretty sure both mph and distance is read from the rear. So when you spin, it tricks the car into think that you have actually traveled more distance than you truly have.

All mechanical engineering aside the 115 mph trap speed would be very high for a stock 392, which would be the tip off that the EVIC isn't being all that accurate at least when it comes to the mph. Common mph from what I've seen is in the 109-112 range, guys on the faster tracks and in good DA might bump that up to 113 or a little more.

[rdrdr90 35]

Do the 0-60 timer and just spin your tires....see what you get. Numerous pic of guys positing times of .43 or 1.0 0-60 times.

[70Barracuda 25]

As far as the 12.5 goes that is a pretty realistic time for a 392, 715racing just ran a 12.5 @ 110 mph at my local track the other week on stock tires.

[chris1992 11]

Well seeing as it was 38* outside, I could see one trapping at 115, but of course there is no telling until you take it to the track. I think of EVIC ET's like dyno numbers, don't mean shit until you actually run it on the track

[moparjoe 1]

Tried another launch, this time with launch control, smoked the tires bad, 12.75 @ 113.8 - it was 67 F out.

sRT5939, 3 tents lower or higher....so your saying these street runs would be 13's flat or 12.4's ?

I can exceed supercar times with enough wheelspin, the evic has to read from the back tires

[rdrdr90 35]

Bottom line is, get to the track and get a slip.

This. It's a fun toy but not accurate due to wheel spin.

Ya'll are all full of shit. BW told me that it is dead balls accurate......

I wasn't going to invoke the "EVIC Racer" title, but since you did..... LOL

[moparjoe 1]

she's going Friday night

[moparjoe 1]

Here' my findings....

Evic then real track thru all the following runs

13.00 112.0 Vs. 12.83 111.7

13.03 112.5. Vs. 12.93 112.57

13.04 113.1. Vs. 12.75 112.7

13.28 112.6 Vs. 12.89 111.61

13.00 113.8. Vs. 12.81 112.54

12.98 112.8. Vs. 12.68 112.0

12.77 112.8. Vs. 12.72 112.27

As per the times, I explained it in the race section , traction was an issue all night. Track just starting up from a long winter and prep was minimal.

I ran a best of

0-60 ft 1.95

1/8 8.17 88.4

1/4,12.53 112.7

I do believe that this car totally stock on a properly prepped track could go 12.3's

In summery , it was the fastest street car there Friday night , and very stable, a lot more fun than my 2010 r/t
