what does unsprung rotating mass = in terms of weight removed?

 

not exaclty sure.. but i think unsprung weight would be rims, tires.. Rear Axle.

Pretty much any weight thats not supported by the suspension.. not sure if this answers your Q...

 

i know what unsprung weight is, but what do you gain in terms of time for the 1/4 mile with each pound of unsprung rotating mass removed?

 

If I remember correctly, every lb of rotating mass is equal to 4 lbs of chassis mass...

 

well following that formula, isn't it usually every 100 lbs = 1/10th in the 1/4?.... so 25 lbs unsprung is 1/10th?

 

ohh, ok i see what your asking now.. sorry..

But i have no clue.. Nick sounds like he has it goin? haha,, its to confusing for me....

Seems like it would be hard to shed some unsprung weight.. lightweight rims and tires... and some lightweight suspension stuff...

 

i just got 17" wheels vs. my 20" wheels lost 17 pounds on each corner going to the 17" wheels.

 

this is so only till a piont the faster you g the more the 100 lbs 1/10 works
