Just wanted to share. Ran a 12.8sec @120mph.


This is my first time at the drag strip with the new setup, I didn't launch the car, instead i just took off normally and then floored it. First gear spins, second gear spins, 3rd gear spins some as well......

I was hoping to trap 125mph+ but that didn't happen. I only took 4 runs. My first run was a super slow. 13.7 @115. Second run was 13.4 @120, Third was 13.1 @119, and final run was 12.8 @120.

I was on 255/40/17 RS3. I didn't care about my time as much as my trap speed, but i was still a little disappointed about not trapping higher. Its alright though, i'm not much of a drag racer, and will be using the car more for autox/lapping days.

My buddys 400whp/400wtq Evo on the left lane, i'm on the Right lane.

 

Did you datalog on any of the runs?

 

That's pretty awesome! good runs!

 

No datalog. I personally think its slow for the power im suppose to be making. I know im not the best driver whenit comes to drag racing, and I wwasn't launching, but I was expecting a higher trap speed still.

 

Your time got significantly better with each run, so I wouldn't really worry about it. You probably just need more time/practice.

With a beefed up diff + radials I'm sure you'd be able to hit mid/low 11's pretty easily.

 

With the power you are at you should be closer to 130mph. Im sure you can hit a higher trap with more traction.

 

Hey mate how much power do you have?

I bet if you strengthened your diff and got wider semi-slick tyres you would do much much better especially after some more practising.

 

It says in his signature dude

 

Making 526whp and 358wtq. Yeah. Next time ill try launching on my street tires and see how that goes. Hoping nothing breaks. Haha.

 

not worth the risk. lol
