Wasn't sure if the track would stick or not, so I set the car on setting 3 (roughly 1300whp in 4th and 5th gear only), much lower in 1-3rd gear. Got a decent launch for this car(1.9x 60'), got a little wheel hop in 1st gear, tapped the rev limiter in 3rd gear by mistake, and had to shift to 5th gear (don't have a raised rev limiter yet). Ran a 9.96@160mph. Car only went 120 mph in the 1/8th, whereas in TX on setting 4 it went 126mph. Pretty safe to say the car is a SOLID 170+ trap car on setting 4 and a raised rev limiter. I would say it will easily go 165+ mph on setting 4 even having to shift to 5th!!
I couldn't get anymore runs in, as they kicked me out for no cage/chute :lol:.
Hope to have some video soon.
Can't say enough GREAT things about this Underground Racing TTG. Words just can't describe the "kid in a candy store" feeling that this machine gives you!! Everyone that rides in it is just in awe at the brutal acceleration that it produces.
Thanks again to Kevin, KC, John Reed and all of the Underground Racing crew...truly a job WELL done!!!
Hopefully I can get back out to a track again soon on setting 4 :clap:.

Here is the video...run looks so slow from this angle...you can tell the car doesn't start really moving until 3rd gear!!

Tim,

Is your car still in AWD, or RWD?
Is the car setup for a 2 step or anti-lag and if so did you baby it out of the whole, or leave like you do on the supra?

I'm not sure, but do you have the beef'd up axels and etc?

 

AWD
No 2step/anti-lag
Too scared to launch it like my Supra!! Don't want to see the repair bill is something breaks.
Lots of slipping the clutch.
I have upgraded axles and gears.

Tim

 

I hear that .... are you running a Tilton? I as well plan to do a UGR G-TT which is why I'm asking (homework).

 

Nice job, Tim! I knew it was only a matter of time before you improved your times from TX. Looking forward to hearing about more runs in the future, bro.

Congrats, again!

 

Yes, Tilton. You will not be disappointed with a UGR TTG!! Worth every penny!!

Scott, thanks man!! Can't wait to see your beast when its done...I think I'm heading up there to Jamies once you guys get your cars finished!! So hopefully see ya soon!!

Tim

 

Tim thanks for the help in Texas. I really like your choice in color.It is a tough choice between yours & Eric's (white one).

 

Tim - Thanks for the update. These cars really are amazing.

Paulie - Diane would look great in the white one.

 

basupra, Hey I was at the track and I got a few pictures of your car and a video from the stands. Was hoping to make a quick vid out of it. The run is already on youtube but was seeing if you wanted the raw video and the pictures. (I was the asian kid walking around your car)

 

sounds like a handfull, nice car.

 

Eric don't u start. Diane is happy with her school bus

 

MPH is very impressive!

I thought the upgraded gears made 4th a bit longer so you don't have to shift into 5th?

I know the Nera runs through the 1/4 in 4th...I'm hoping to see a 8.x time from one of the UGR cars.

 

Great job Tim! I imagine you're the first customer driven lambo in the 9's?!?

 

Thanks Paul, and no problem with the help!!

Eric, no problem...now its your turn!!

Thanks for taking the video!! I forgot the camera (and a helmet)!! Feel free to email me the pics you took... basupra@aol.com

The gears are certainly lengthened, but I still either need to shift to 5th or raise the rev limiter for the track...just not sure if it is cost effective to do so now seeing as how I don't plan to drag race the car much at all. The Nera has the same gearing, but it has a raised rev limiter.

Thanks Jamie!! Now lets get yours out to the track as soon as its done!!

Tim

 

I believe someone else has gone 9.6, I don't remember who though. Pretty sure I saw the time over here or on LP.

Do you plan to take yours to norwalk or milan?
