Yeah or sitting in traffic in (insert your favorite city here!!)

 

Verified.

 

Todd, can Sean borrow your transmission for our race on 7/18? I'm just playing I'm just playing! LOL

Congrats again on the run...10.9 on ps2's is nuts!

Peter

 

Thanks Peter, no, I'm sure Sean will find a way to miss a shift in the tip.

 

Just a FYI; it looks like we finally have some data for a stock ZR1 to use for comparison. While I don't have any actual P-box data yet, Motor Trend ran a 7.8 60-130 in a stock ZR1 during this month's "Blue Devil vs Blue Angel" article. I would guess that a good driver in the right conditions could definitely hit low 7's in a stock ZR1.

 

Yea i think that a 7.8 is kinda weak considering the HP level and engineering that went into that car.

 

Here's a lame question. When you guys measure 60-130 is that from a full throttle roll on or holding 60 and go FT? This 60-130 is somewhat new to me and I would like to see what my car could do.

As of now my best time is 11.49 @ 122 with a DA of 1500. My highest trap to date is a little above 124. Since then I'm quite a bit more modded and will be shooting for possibly high tens this year. I still have one more mod to go and I'm basically finished. BTW...this is a 2006 E55. I've only been to the track 4 times so I still have a lot to learn.

I hope anyone is welcomed to participate in this sub forum.

 

Funny, I just read that article yesterday. They didn't do a dedicated 60-130 run. Scott derived that time from subtracting the 0-60 time from the 0-130 time from the standing mile race with the FA/18 Jet. I'm sure a dedicated 60-130 run would yield low 7's.

 

You want to be WOT well before 60 mph. I'd would say no later than 45 mph....but the earlier, the better.

As a forum member, you are absolutely welcome to submit a 60-130 time. I'll post it in the "6speed member's other cars" list.

 

Scott
Your Vette did 5.74 in one shift?

Scott, here is my stock GT-R to add to the collection of times... Also, how do I look at the 1/4 mile time and 0-60 time using the 1-foot rollout on the driftbox software?

 

Thank god because I did a run last night from a 60 mph cruise and it didn't go so well. I ran a 9.2 with my tires spinning for the first second or so, hard to gage. I actually slowed down from 63 to 62 at one point due to my traction control detecting wheel slippage. It took me 2 seconds to go from 60-70...LOL! I would have gone for 2nd run but while slowing down I saw the Mexican patrol on the look out.

 

Peter,

What's the actual time. 10.6?

Wrt 1-foot rollout, you enable it under the 'performance menu' (see page 15 in you're manual). You can read it on the 'accel' or 'best' screens and also from the SD card.

 

Yes, but I've only completed that one run since I got my new tranny and 3.90 diff. My tires don't really hook in 2nd anymore with the new gears, so I need to move to a stickier tire (M&H) so I can get a 2-shift run. The new tranny with an SSK shifts MUCH better than the stock tranny did with an SSK so I think a 2-shift run may be better.

I think the car will hit low 5's, but we'll have to wait and see.

 

Actual time was 10.69 Scott...it was around 95 degrees outside still and I think in cooler weather she would run a low 10 high 9 as is. I will play with the 1-ft rollout tonight to see how the car 1/4 and 0-60. The box showed 3.5 0-60 and 11.8@120 1/4 mile.
