whats a good time for a rear wheel drive cos , not including lee's lucky 3 n a bit ( only joking m8 !! )

i know what lees doing now , but there are the few exceptions to the average 0 - 60 rule for a rwd car and lee (and his motas) are one of them


so come on give us some times



ive been out doing a couple , havnt done anything like this for a few years now , used to get some good results ( car and tyres permitting) , the 1st was hmmmmm , the second was looking better , but am thinking the second hand umpteen year old uniroyals may be letting me down , didnt do anymore as for the local activitiy !!


have got recordable evidance !!

 

Anything around or just 5 seconds is good going I reckon!

 

Not less than 4.3 in the dry so you gaylor5ds with your 2wd will allways be behind!

 

well thats you in second place then vodge-meister

 

Andy, Lee has gone sub 4 secs in his 2wd saff...

 

on the last engine with restrictor in, i had a p.b of 3.9 secs


so look out - 4x4 fags !!

 

it was my p.b that lee set out to beat !!

and he did - in style !!

 

How was that timed Markk?

 

and thats with SPA timing on the front wheel !!

 

So thats about as official as my left testicle then

 

4.6 is average for my old boat,

with crappy tyres, and more practice needed me thinks,

 

Thing is i did a much better one with lee's wife in!!

Unfortunatly the second time with lee in wasn't as good 4.3!!LOL

 

You seemed to be getting faster and faster with each launch last year at TOTB Martin

 

hi lee,

none of those where timed

but practice does help and much fun was had doing it

 

looks like the old girl wont be coming out at this years event, as all my funds and time are spent getting the eggenburger one ready,


but it will be worth it,

last year told me one thing my car is not slow but not competetive to be challenging for top places,

my best 1/4 last year was 12 dead with all runs in the 12 sec bracket and my terminals where from 115 to highest of 128

did six runs over 170 with a best of 173 @1.25 miles,

so i would need to replace the 3.9 diff to a more standard 3.6 racio and get the T6 and second map on race fuel to get better times,

 

its not that accurate


no to be honoust its acalibrated SPA digi speedo that picks up magnetic pulses from sensors on the front wheels - it then has a very accurate self time device thats pre-setable

 

I've had some great 0-60s on my STACK display as well....

If you wanna do some for real, I get Dan to bring the Datron GPS gear up next time we come up your way. Its very quick to set up and VERY accurate

 

fookin cool man - yeh let me know , im sure we can find some where suitable !!


bear in mind m8 that mine will do 60 in 1st !! (if i punish it a little ) and tops out at 128 !!!

so the figures are realistic enough !!

 

my last 3.9 was on full slicks as well !!!

 

so are you up for a timing sesh somewhere , i'd like to try and get somewhere where i can do some messing about (pref legally ) , i need a bit of space and time to try and get the lunch / limiters set up before plod gets on my back and ive got to do a runner

now that the cars in a position to do a bit , id like to try some runs with and without the restrictor in now kennys fettled it !!

 

and dont forget , my front wheels dont spin under power !!! (unfortunatly )

 

i must learn to try and get everything into one post !!

 

hI

0-60 4.3
0-100 8.1

Recorded by Mark at Cossie qualifiers last year 40psi in the Tyres as Topspeed was also being recorded , reached 181.8 in the straight.
Will be back at totb3 with a lot more horses so lets see what that does. 0-100 in the high 6's ? we shall see , will also be using proper tyres/pressure next time.

 

0-60 in 5.7 in the rain on road tyres

 

stage 1, 0-60 5.71

 

cool guys !!! all good times then !!


bttt for porkie and the timing gear !!!

so you want a good time on a standard car or modded car
mines standard and i did 5 secs in the wet.reckon i could get it down to 4 to 4.5 in the dry on a good day

 

i dont remember the 'limited' 316 bhp version m8

 

standard tyres/suspension and pussy power

 

what 300 brake is pussy power ??

 

well it is compared to 600 brake
surpose its not compared to my mondy though

 

0-60's are bollox really, i.m.h.o, you need to look at 0-100's to really see how quick a car is. MADRod, 0-100 in 8.1?? now THATS a fast car

 

Totally agree about 0-100. However mine recorded 60-100 3.24 in third gear , now that is fast. I was driving not that pussy Mark Shead , I also did 0-100 8.6 so not as slow as some suggest i am.
Cheers Rod

 

hmmmmm 0-100 - i think ill have to try that one !!

 

9.1 0-100 for my car on girlie boost 19psi with T34
at santa pod 1.67 0-60ft which works out at a 2.9 to 60mph but then my car dont count as it has that funny suspension!

Rod car will be very quick hope to see you do some 0-100 in the 6's and me next to you doing it for myself

 

Danny, what does a 1.45sec 60ft equal to for a 0-60?

 

May this come true Danny. Mine will have better suspension & tyres next time + 200 more horses, but that may be more hinderance than help Maybe i need to borrow your silly suspension , i will settle for 0-60 3.9

 

i done 3.9 with with the car bogging on a T34
when your saph has twisted and rolls on 3 wheels we can try your engine in my car and run mid 9's at 140+mph

1.45 60ft is around 2.1 2.2 to 60. its 56mph at the 60ft mark.

 

Cool, not bad for a car without funny suspension!
Infact its around a second faster than the official world record
