Best was 2.4 (2.39) mate, but tyres are near enough shot..


Didn't mean to start any doubting by the way guys, as at the end of the day most peeps ran in both lanes so at least we can compare against each other and people on the day.. LOL
Didn't realised you ran twice in the left lane Jonny, thought it was just the one run against me, hence the reason I made the observation in the first place.. Mmmm strange one then.. ha

Power at Flywheel (BHP) :  360
Weight without Driver (KG) :  1310
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) :  279.22
0 - 60 (Secs) :  4.58
0 - 100 (Secs) :  9.97
60 - 100 (Secs) :  5.39
Quarter Mile (Secs) :  12.82
Terminal Speed (MPH) :  113.39
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) :  12.62
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) :  115.46

time is lower but mph is also lower indicating (to me at least) that you have more than 360hp jonny  :scared:
So yes you have more to come! incredible.  :happy2:  for a FWD car that is just silly  :evilgrin::happy2:

No worries mate..

Im really not sure about the power, if im totally honest then I think it should have around 370+hp.. As cars with much less had achieved around 360bhp.. But it could be more, I really dont know, it would be interesting having a figure for the car, but im scared to death of posting it anywhere as your inevitably going to get shot down for crazy claims etc etc..

Thats why I thought the 1/4 mile testing would be a better way of showing the cars potential, and to be honest, I was shocked with the trap speeds, especially when you look at this..

This is the 1/4 mile leader board for 2.0T FSI cars.. It shows the car, 'box type, and turbo.. Most of there cars were ran in hot weather on drag radials..

I have added on the rough BHP figures for the top cars..

01.) 11.019@131.79 - GTI - 6MT - 3076 - Gregg@USP.MotorSports (690BHP)

08.) 12.98x@118.60 - GTI - DSG - K04_ - jonnyc23 (Honestly no idea, around 370BHP)

20.) 13.66x@101.01 - GTI - DSG - k03 - jamdub

Its a good thing to keep an eye on, I think with drag radials I would be able to get into the low 12's, possibly even high 11's..

The aim for the next day I run is to get myself into that top time bracket anyways!

I take it that table is from the states mate? Be good to see a UK one..  :wink: Think Regal's claim of being the fastest Mk5 has been flattened, eapecially after yesterdays performance..  :grin:


Some of us ot on the CC table already..  :wink: although they have used my left lane time and termina speed, boo hoo.  :sad: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Yes mate, but I know there is a fair few from different countries on there.. So its kind of a world table.. (ish)

Hmm.. I thought that too.. Well, its hard to claim things like that without having a proper shoot out, but im happy to take that risk  :grin:

F8ck it, Im going to claim it lol..

--- End quote ---

He didn't run.

....I love watching it but have no plans to ever run. I used to do amateur Time Trials (bicycle) and so I'm very familiar with the bug! It's not actually all about beating everyone else but more about constantly trying to improve your own PB (Personal Best) time. This thread with the wonderful enthusiasm of previously virgin dragstrippers is absolute proof of how the addiction gets hold of you!!

Sorry I had to leave without saying a proper farewell to many and to miss the group pic.

Should all be much easier in better weather.

:drinking: :happy2:

Good to meet you RR.   :happy2: :happy2:
