Awd slr ?
So....I guess I will add more data to jumpstart the conversation. I take these statements as common knowledge for setting up the car to perform optimally, but help us understand the SLR battle.
~Tire height
~Trap mph
~Converter slip/ lockup
~Trap mph
~Trans final ratio
Once we've established a "best" rear gear ratio, now comes the trans "1st" gear ratio question.
Based on power, weight of vehicle, rpm range of said power, powerband (peak or broad), tire compound, converter design...etc. We can start the hunt for the optimal SLR.
~My question is, is SLR just what the max coefficient of friction limits are ?
~Can the acceleration continue to increase as long as we do not over come the friction limits of the tire?
If that is the case, would an AWD combo stand to handle increased SLR based on 4 time the rollout?
~The Rpm drop back based on trans ratios is a huge deal.
Lugging the motor down in the name of optimal SLR is not a compromise.
I'm looking for thoughts and feedback...even theory.
I do understand that a lot of "the correct" SLR is trial and error at the track.
