OK guys, today is 72 degrees out and I took the Turbo S out for another try. Had to have the air on because I get too hot with my black interior.

So with the air on I pulled a 60 to 130MPH in 9.7 seconds. The drift box data file do not lie. Take a look. The first file (best01.txt) depicts the 60 to 130MPH. The second file (result01.txt) look at Run 008. You will see the 60 to 130MPH at 9.7 seconds. I also attached the graph depicting the sped and time.

I now know I can get into the high 8's low 9's with the current setup. I am telling you, this Turbo S Cab is very fast.

 

9.7 sounds like exactly where you should be.

Nice Run!!

thanks, I think I am going to need a new clutch! Any suggestions?

 

talk to Sharkey or GMG, I am sure they could help you out.

Here is one that alot of folks use:

 

Sachs Ltwt clutch upgrade

 

You should send the raw data file to Scott for confirmation so you can get on the list.

 

Please send me your raw .dbn file like you did the other day so that I may verify it. Thanks.

 

Here you go. Now I need to get me a new clutch. Look at run008. Between 1160 and 1169 seconds.

 

I don't see anything.

Anyway, if you could just email the .dbn file to me that would make things a lot easier. Thanks.

oopps, email sent.

 

Well, your best run was a 9.68…but it was also on a very steep (relatively speaking) downhill slope. As you can see from the graph, it was a 56 foot drop from start to finish, or a 3.85% downhill slope. It may not seem like a lot, but it really helped your times out quite a bit.

Case in point, you had 2 other runs that were going downhill: one was a 10.13 with a 1.8% downhill slope, and another was a 10.47 with a 2.7% downhill slope.

However, one of your runs was actually going uphill. Of course, it was the slowest one of the bunch: a 10.98 on a very slight 1.6% incline.

So as you can see, even the slightest uphill slope can make a dramatic difference in your times.

Either way, I think it's awesome that you get out and run your car. She really moves well for her weight.

 

what % of slope is acceptable to be added to your list?

 

Scott,
Can you explain how to read the graphs. In school I wasn't very good in math...or english...or history or..

 

Run008 is really the only run that I was trying to get on it. The other runs had too much traffic and flying by cars at that speed is not safe.

 

Red is speed, black is slope of pavement and blue is acceleration and the dips are shifts.
