the track is 1360 feet and we use this divided by your MPH so lets say you can run 100mph

1360 ~ 100 = 13.60
1360 ~ 105 = 12.95
1360 ~ 110 = 12.36
1360 ~ 115 = 11.82

Have a mate with a supercharged outlaw car it runs 176 mph which = 7.72 car actually runs 7.6 with this MPH

lets take Guy_H golf R just because its on top it ran 119.356 ( 1360 ~ 119.356 = 11.394) and he ran 11.356 AWD cars seem to run faster I think this is down to great 60 foot times. Isn't there a R that runs 113mph that should be around 12.03 or faster

now my car has run 114 mph which = 11.92 but it only ran 12.6 but its FWD with big wheel spin so cant match the AWD cars 60 foot times

have some fun with it, its not perfect but very close IMO

Cheers

Lol, based on this I cant drive (0.8s slower). haha

My best to date is 13.5 at around 106-107. I think i need to learn how to launch the manual a bit harder. I also think that the extra gear change is hurting my time.

We were there watching all the Golf R's run down the strip, and our spotter recorded most of the times.

The Viezu car ran 105mph (168kmph) according to the journalist - it bogged down on the first launch (or two) and then it had a really nice (non bogged one) which was its best time. There certainly was no wheel spin issues, the last run it hooked up nicely.

I must have checked with them 6 times now - 188km/h...

The car didn't bog on either run - hopefully the comparative 0-100 time can demonstrate that enough in any event. I think maybe you're getting mixed up with another one of the R's?

I'm hoping there's some footage of it.

Certainly everyone else I've asked who was there at the time of our runs recall it spinning all 4 before it would hook up.

He also told me all runs ran the same 13.2 (and 188 trap speed)

It's that lightweight CF bonnet !

Sexiness.

To be honest that does sound more realistic, but we are wrecking Jasons Time Slip only thread ( apologies again!! ) so time to let it be people. The truth always comes out in the end, let's leave it till cars / tunes can be run again etc etc, something I indeed intend to do for my own curiosity amongst other things.
