IMO, not bad for the first time at the track in a new FI car, stock tires and 101 deg temp. I'm sure the times will go down.

the time is decent. trapping 5 mph more than NA cars is pretty sad..

the 60 ft time 1.674 is pretty impressive for a street car, But the MPH is a low which represents how much horsepower the engine is really making?? Was this a full pass??

You must have had a boost leak. That mph is horrible. You should be trapping in the mid to high 120's with 600rwhp. If you don't have a boost leak, I'd do a leak down test and compression test. When you pulled out of the meet the other night, your car was blowing a bit of white smoke. Not alot, but some.

I'm not an expert so I have to ask why?:confused:

Is it because we expect the power to come on late on a typical turbo car so the speed is made up toward the end of the run (assuming everything were working right)?

Well, here are 4 cars with considerably LESS POWER, all trapping higher, and lower et's. for a car that's claiming 600whp, seams way off. That car should be running
in the mid 11's with trap speeds 125mph + :tup:

Nissan GTR AWD (480bhp) 11.8 - 116.5mph
Corvette Z06 RWD (505bhp) 11.7 - 123.7mph
Porsche 911 Turbo AWD (480bhp) 11.7 - 121.2mph
2010 Ford Shelby Cobra RWD (540bhp) 12.4 - 118.0mph

You have to factor the G's weight with those other cars as well. Plus his car is an automatic with a non GTR transmission. I say go back at night when the temp is lower, warm the tires a little more and launch the piss out of it. Then report back.

I've seen the car while it was at GTM. It is a manual. So I figure some learning will be needed for better times. Also, after re-reading ... GTM tuned it to 600+ WHp at 12 psi. His thread in the other forum said he is now running at 9 psi, so the boost has apparently been turned down for more reliability.

At 9 psi, my HR is made 470WHp on the dyno, so I assume his VHR with external gates and bigger pipes should be a hair over 500WHp at the same pressure?

In any case, to be knocking on the doorsteps of the cars in minicobra1's list is still pretty impressive especially for the first time at the track in unfavorable conditions. And I'm fairly certain the manaufacturers / magazines use pro drivers to turn out those published times too.

Although possibly more risky, the EBC can always be turned up 2-3 more PSI to "seal the deal".:rolleyes:

Oh my bad I thought we were talking about your car.

wow man, that video is impressive!!!

12.1@111 i think that is a great pass for a 3700 pounds car with stock tires and first pass...

an r6 would spank him

He ran 12.5@116 not 12.1.

Lets not get into a bike vs car war here, because that's just stupid

My friend bought a C5 Z06 at a really good deal. BUT I was so sick of hearing him talk all kinds of crap about how fast his car was and what it can run the 1/4 mile in. I finally convinced him to go to Qualcom which is an 1/8 mile track here in SD. So he goes and gets spanked by civics with full bolt ons. My friends RSX smoked him although he has quite a bit more money. But the point is just because your car makes XXX amount of horse power and XXX amount of ft/tq and weighs XXXX amount, its all comes down to what YOU can do not the car. When you see a C5 Z06 running a mid 12 1/8 MILE... yes there is something wrong very very wrong and its not the car.

P.S. my friend no longer talks about his car as if it was a Zonda

drag racing was like... so last year! :icon17:

Everyone knows its all about road racing and drifting these days... :driving:

umm I only said that cus he was claiming in his Youtube page that he was going up against his buddys R6... also that CBR in the video would have owned him something fierce if he actually went all out... I dont know what he was trying to prove...

I thought i read somewhere the highway was in mexico? I dont remember it being a buddy of his but he did say it was a vs video. It didnt look like the bike knew what the car was doing. almost like a good 'ol ricer fly bye mmm my favorite.

Yea - supposedly the bike was "racing" w/ him... and was his buddy... but iono man... bikes can be awfully fast and a 12.5 second G isnt as fast as most bikes... a stock R6 does what a high 10 second quarter - and thats a standing quarter - if he is on a roll already - forget it man...

Umm...no. Did you even watch the video? The bike was definitely racing. He was tucked, and he had it pinned through the breaks in traffic. If he wasn't going and riding casually at a steady pace, the G would have flown past him long before. They were quite even through 4th and 5th.

well the brightt side of all of this is that that car def has much more potential and once he gets more practice he should be in 11's in no time :tup:

Again, wow...you guys are a bunch of n00bs. Explain to me how quarter-mile E.T.s come into play here. Is there a part of the video that I missed where they went at it from a dig?

Bikes are nowhere near as fast as they are at high speeds relative to their 0-60 and 1/4-mile acceleration figures. They are as aerodynamic as an office-chair and lack the sheer power to overcome that. It doesn't matter what a car runs in the 1/4-mile, if it traps above 120 MPH, it will likely walk away from a 600cc sport-bike when speeds get into the triple-digits. Sure a stock R6 even with an average rider runs a high-10 @ 130+ MPH, but only the later is what counts when you are talking about high-speed acceleration. Even then, a 1/4-mile trap-speed naturally has low-end acceleration factored in. A car wont even have to trap the same as a bike to walk away from it at speed, say a 60-150 MPH roll.

LOL who is dis guy? the owner of the G? or the friend riding the bike? I saw that video when he first posted it on myg37.com buddy. nice to meet you by the way :tiphat:
