For most FWD cars the calculators are very off, especially on the ET. But they are closer on the MPH.

In the case of a car with a bad launch the 1/8 to 1/4 conversion will be off. The car will be quicker than what the calculator said because it didn't take into account how bad of a start it got.

Easy to understand.

You are almost talking in circles and making it WAY more difficult than it needs to be. The fact is a poor 60' hurts your run. It hurts the 1/8 and it hurts the 1/4. Improve your 60' and your 1/8 improves as does your 1/4. There is no denying that. I already said the conversion isn't an exact science, but its close enough to get an idea.

I give up ... You dont get the point at all. Like talking to a robot

In the end we are both saying generally the same thing. The fact is if you improve your launch you will improve your ET.
