Default Track times for my turbo setup...

Well, basically allan took the car to the track last week just to see what its capable of.

Long story short, this car is mainly only good for freeway rolls, as it has no traction what so ever.

heres the timeslip.

60' 2.047
330' 5.414
1/8 7.872
MPH 104.07
1000' 9.920
1/4 11.60
MPH 135.58

He ran the car on 16 in et streets at 30psi.

heres the video.

this was done on the 101 octane run, which was 947 rwhp. however he said that the tires were not hooking at all, he couldnt even get traction to help the mph out.

Click here to watch Track-run

He believes it would have been over 140 if I had any type of traction.

Let me know what you think.

sounds like you need some slicks lol

if you drop that 60' down and lower the pressure in the tires a ton then i would imagine you would have a lot better times.

Yeah, definitely going to need a 2-step to get it out of the hole, but it didn't look like it was spinning too bad.

Granted it was only a shakedown pass...but 135mph with 950rwhp?

I'm sure you'll get it dialed in.

like i said, he said it was making so much power that it wouldnt even grab for a while.

he thought that it would actually be better on 12 lbs since it will have more traction.

WTF?? Good question. Same ole thing people assume things before popping off. A 4000lb car with with 15psi is a DEATH TRAP!
