1/4 Mile Times

[zbeasty]

Those are awesome times...

Two things.
1) Can you please put your info in the format of the first post.
2) How are you doing LC's at 6000rpm?

1) Done
2) When I engage LC it lets me rev to whatever revs I want. I've been able to do it since the car was first tuned. Would have to ask Parso if he did anything with the tune but he is currently on a flight to Abu Dhabi.

Faark me Michael....these times are sensational!!!!!!!!!!!

Those 60ft times are to die for!

Waiting to see what you can do with your new tune Fab. Then I'll decide whether to fit a HPFP, FMIC, DSG tune. Got to keep raising the bar because I know the car will be out in the US later this year or early next and need to give them something to think about.

6k clutch dumps nice

Fark that 60ft time is incredible!! Good work man!

Pretty amazing to see times like this with such little mods being done. 4 motion is a wonderful thing

Dang mid 12's even with only 104mph trap speed; the car must take off the line damn quick.

don't suppose anyone got any video?

Heh - so your faulty DSG is giving you an advantage then! awesome! The 60ft times are just simply sensational for a Golf R... they're just not possible at a 3000rpm launch. I know that Ferret has a DSG flash so can do 4500rpm, and his 60ft times reflect that too.

so a DSG reflash gives ferret the ability for 6k launches and therefore a 12.5 time?

[zbeasty]

The extra 1500 rpm on the third run reduced my 60' by 0.098s but my ET was only 0.015s lower. I only did it to see what would happen and don't think I'll bother again. Ferret was saying he was having traction problems last week when launching at 4500 but I don't think it was an issue this week. I had some minor squeal off the line but nothing major.

No, as per my post, the DSG reflash gives Ferret the ability to launch at up to 4500rpm. Golf R's are usually limited to 3000rpm launches. The <1.8second 60ft time hasn't been seen before on a Golf R, even with the Stage 2+ that Ferret has. Previous 60ft times have been 2 to 2.2 sec. Last week's time by Ferret was 12.716, and that had been the fastest thus far. This week he was able to do a 12.759 as per one of zbeasty's slips.

12.581 by zbeasty with a Stage 2 car (just a DP and tune) is just awesome... it's just strange why he can launch at over 3000rpm without a DSG reflash though...

Yeah 6000rpm is probably overkill unless you've got semi-slicks, or even drag tyres, rather than the stock Dunlops at 42psi! But if you had stickier tyres and lower PSI's, you'd have to start worrying about the stock clutches, given that VW limits them to 3000rpm, and even the HPA reflash limits them to 4500rpm...


Once again, awesome effort
