Unlike some around here my time isnt "secret". This was really the only time I have had a chance to do a dedicated 60-130 where I didnt have some sort of problem like my clutch or unfamiliarity with the car......
5.2 sec is it.... damn near perfectly flat as well, 1 shift. I really feel this about all I can expect from this setup given my weight. Maybe a bit quicker shifting and a neg slope will get me a tenth or two but for now this is just fine. I did try a 4th gear only run and it was 5.8....

 

Bad *** Kevin!

 

Thanks Dave.... now if I can get that sissy Topgun to do a run

 

Geez, I hope your not unhappy with that-terrific time. Your car is still usable is it not?

 

Very nice Kevin!!! I figured that's where you'd be. Thanks for spillin the beans

 

Nice time Kevin

 

Kevin
Way to kick a$$.... as long as it is not mine LOL

 

Nice! Next time your out testing pick me up for a ride.

 

A 5.2 is very stout, good job!

 

A very quick and solid run that is representative (accurate) of the power levels
and weight of your car. Your car sort of represents a new standard for very usable,
yet VERY high levels of power (GT30 based). Having built the motor to such a high
standard it should live forever.

Congrats,

MK

 

Great run Kevin!

 

kevin, excellent run. on your 4th gear pull, what speed did you start at? 40 mph? did you notice at what point you hit full boost? did you try breakboosting that 4th gear pull?

 

I hope I didnt give the impression I was unhappy it is just that I had a few problems up until the mile. The clutch was an issue until I swapped out to a new unit. My GT2 slave failed. My alternator, actually voltage regulator, died with a subsequent battery explosion. It has been one minor issue after another.Now that it is perfect it is time to store it. I think the car ran great, I am going to try and get a weight today just for reference. I have been driving my daughter around in it all week, just another daily driver

 

Agreed ..I just had mine corner weight & aligned. It weighed 3,354 lb with half a tank, AWD, this is the way I ran the mile & will run my 60-130(kick kpg A$$)...

 

That's freaking insane.







I can't believe you drive around that fast with your daughter in the car. You should be ashamed.
