How Quick would a stock modle T be in 1/4 mi

Ok who can tell me about how quick would a stock modle T be in the 1/4 mile?.

 

No idea, but I'd venture a guess of somewhere a little less than a minute.

 

And What MPH would you think it would go???.

 

I do not know, but I did have a speedster, and although fun, it was not a 1/4 mile machine.

I think that a min. is a pretty good guess.

As for top speed? that would depend on the gearing. Providing it is flat, 1/4 mile should be plenty enough to get to top speed.

With a tall gear, and an overdrive maybe 55 or 60. Not that an overdrive would be stock.

SQ.

 

I might be way off.

My speedster, had slightly higher compression and no body (to speak of).

A stocker would be considerably heavier. Possibly making it slower than a minute in the quarter.

A runnabout, would be significantly quicker than a 4 door sedan.

The 1/8th mile would be more fun and suitable for a T.

 

i ran my 26 pickup in ST. LOUIS back in 2004, 56.9871 seconds
speed 51.097
tried finding my time slip, but can't


really rung it out, hit 12 miles anhour in low, then dumped into high, had a slight speed wobble at 3rd mile, so i cut some timimg out ,

most of the drag racing with a model t is to see who can go the slowest over 50 feet

some times you can count the engine revs,



my engine puts out 26 hp, at 18oo rpm


83 ftlbs torque at 900 rpm

i would post a video but it is like watching paint dry, except for the cheering

 

Maybe you should be asking how slow would a stock model T be!

 

hay thanks to you all the guy. he said it ran 55 in the 1/4 and come to find out it had a volvo overdrive modle A crank 2300 holly 2 bbrl carb and had the oiling system set up for full oil pressior. Stock??? I don't think so.

 

get yourself a sundial and a calender. . .

 

I bet it would go pretty good off a vertical 1/4 mile, probably a close match race against a Fuel Altered....

 

I'll always take an oppurtunity to say oxy*****.

 

that just made my day

 

But what if you cut a really good light?

 

Im sure reaction time plays a big part !!!

 

Oh, well, then that's different!. You would have a good light..and still be slow as hell. No change.

 

There is a video on Utube showing a stock Model T touring car, 23-25 I seem to remember, running the road track at Nurburgring in Germany. It is about 15 minutes or so and entertaining in a retro sort of way. The car has stock wood spokeed wheels too and the guy does wring it out.

 

did you mean good light or good fart?

 

Quicker than this 3 YEAR OLD THREAD

 

Now that's funny right there!

 

I had a speedster with a stock motor that ran low 24's @48.
Put a Rajo motor in it and it would run in the 20's @ 65.
Both motors were done at about the 1/8 mile and I just hung on and prayed after that!

 

A stock Model T falling toward the surface of the Earth will fall 9.81 meters in Europe or 32.18 feet in the U.S. per second faster every second (an acceleration of 9.81 m/s² or 32.18 ft/s²). The reason an object reaches a terminal velocity is that the drag force resisting motion is approximately proportional to the square of its speed. At low speeds, the drag is much less than the gravitational force and so the object accelerates. As it accelerates, the drag increases, until it equals the weight. Drag also depends on the projected area. This is why things with a large projected area, such as parachutes, have a lower terminal velocity than small objects such as bullets.
Mathematically, terminal velocity — without considering the buoyancy effects — is given by

Excellent question, especially for a GI!! Let's get those bangers out there, and prove him wrong!

 

Model T's don't accelerate - they ac***ulate speed.

 

hoahh!
