Griffith 500 1/4 mile timing

[panic]

Did any of you ever run the quarter mile strip with a griffith 500? what are the average results? What about the 0-60 mph?
thanks/Giu

great day at santa pod organised by austec a while back,if you do a search i think a lot of people posted up there results,i had a 4.3 griff at the time (standard) i managed a 13.9 and beat a couple of 500s that day,if you search in the tv clips you will find plenty of footage!!!

Some good times there...high 12's and low 13's are pretty impressing...what about indipendent tests on 0-60? I think results here would be at supercar level.

I have a 570hp C3 vette that is far quicker then my griffith 500 on a long 1/4 mile sprint because power, if tires hook properly, is predominant but on a short sprint to 60mph i feel the griffith is 'nearly' as quick as the vette. (...and the vette should be in the mid 10's territory on the 1/4)
