Polo Gti 1/4 mile slips

Well as you can see the fastest was a 15.8. Its got more potential in it. Just bogged down to much in nearly every run except the last. where it was wheel spin city. All in all not a bad night. What are your thoughts.

15.8 is what the motor mag came up with (or wheels)

Great work! Looks like you had fun. On your fastest, you really cut back your reaction time.

**shaneth** · 28-01-2007, 07:56 AM

Yes but unfortuneatly reaction time is only good if you get the launch right.

Hey Shaneth is that with the traction control on or off?

**shaneth** · 28-01-2007, 10:08 AM

It was a pretty crappy night. I dont go into it cause i dont like blaming anything else besides the driver. the 9.20pm run was with traction on (accidently) the rest were off.. the 15.8 was off. I say it has more cause i let the wheels spin and then slightly backed off and when it got traction it bogged. I think i should be able to hit my goal of 15.5 maybe next time.

with a track temp hovering are 37 it was a hot night. can have been ideal for the little side mount. that conbined withthe fact i hadnt practiced launching it at all since i bought the car till the first run. next time ill be better prepared.

It is a heavy car though. You need the extra 35KW a chip would give to comfortably dip under 15's

yeah i knowits a big girl all 1270+ with me in it. but i know it has more potential than 15.8. and yes a chip will dip me into 14. but i want to know i have been able to get the most out of it standard before i go further. it may sound silly but its just me. And now i know i can go quicker i will have to prove it.
