100 feet trap at 70mph

I know there is no such a distance as 100 feet.( usually 125 which is 1/8, and 250 which is 1/4). So anyway, I constantly trap 70mph at this point of exactly 100 feet, is that bad or is that good? Let me know anyone , who surprisingly tried it as I did many times.

not good at mile to feet conversion, I just checked conversion calculator and came up with 1/10 of a mile, that what I was talking about is 528 feet. 528' at 70 mph, not 1/8 mile.

do you really think that anyone else will have any type of data to compare to yours?

just run an 1/8 or 1/4 and post that time if you actually care?

for real , I don't care, but I've seen times on heavily modded CLS on 1/8 ( not 1/10 as I run) like 8.9 at 81.93mph, or 9.2 at 78mph.

How are you measuring your speed at the 1/10 of mile (528ft?)

Don't tell me you are resetting your trip meter, flooring it, and then looking at your speedo once the odo crosses the 0.1 mark.

I hit 9.33 @ about 79 mph with my heavy 18's and only a cold-air! That's my best run with just an intake--- I beat up on a pretty well modded Mustang GT 5spd, I have it on video too..lol..you hear a big YEAAA! from the import crowd when the times come up.

anyway, on a stockish CL about 77-80 mph is average 1/8 mile trap speed.
