Had a look on SCN and see an otherwise standard Leon Cupra TFSi with a Revo test map topped 110mph too  :surprised:

Not doubting any figures at all, but the terminal speeds seem quite high on all the cars today compared to what the same cars were getting last year with much the same modifications.

Ben - Where did your additional 5mph terminal speed come from mate? Also, how did the Meganes, VXR's, ST's etc get on?

Must try losing weight next time I go to the 1/4 mile  :smiley:

May have something to do wih the fact that it was 0 degrees C = dense air = more power = lower time but also lower traction & cold tyres

Ben - Where did your additional 5mph terminal speed come from mate?

It's only 3.7mph actually..  :wink: :grin: But to be fair, I do think that the right lane may of had calabration errors on the speeds, as it was generally 2-3mph more that my left lane runs. Noticed it with one of Jonny's runs as well too (he did a 115mph in the left lane). Also the right lane did spaz out a couple of times (Luca ran a 131mph and I saw a VXR get 118mph too, even though it ran 103mph on others).. Just an observation, but could be wrong..  :confused:
Did get a 109mph in the left lane though, so still an improvement either way.  :smiley:

My best time with map on was
reaction +.6917
60ft 2.5794
1/4 mile 14.3891
109.71 mph

Tried 2 runs with the map off and got
reaction +.6704
60ft 2.5094
1/4 mile 14.3298
104.74 mph

Pretty happy with the results as there is loads of room for improvement in the 60ft and the mph indicates the car is making good power.
With a warmer day i could get the 60ft to 2.2-2.3 so should break into the 13's

Ps. I want  a rematch when my clutch is sorted rupo :signLOL:
You got an awesome time  :happy2:
