The passenger added about 160-170 lbs (I'm guessing at KC's weight)...so that puts the car at around the same weight as HoustonT's or AtomicZ's non-SL cars with only the driver.

You might be surprised.
I've tried both ways. My car likes the Mile and it's pavement

Right. This car had a passenger in it which diminished the weight advantage the SL has over the standard Gallardo. I think if this car ran without a passenger and ran on a flat road or a slight decline, it may have a 2.9 in it, which is insanity (not that 3.0 isn't)

I am looking forward to seeing what you can do with your car, Scott. I know you will do better than what Tym did since he weighs as much as a house (and hopefully you don't, lol)

Scott, you've never had a car as fast as your GTR. I think the biggest adjustment for you will be finding that elusive combo of tetering on the brink of traction yet having the coolest air possible to hook it. At this power level, i think the best results will be achieved at a racetrack with drag radials (as opposed to R888's on the street). Then again, I'm sure if ANYONE will find out, it will be you. We are all looking fwd to 2 things:

1. Your car lining up with Jamie's SL.
2. What 60-130 times you will get once you get some seat time in your car.

Yep. Agreed.

Tym has 55 lbs on me, but my runs will be with the stock seats installed, so that negates any body-weight advantage I have. But I'll do my best.

I actually think the taller R888s will be better for 60-130s than the MTs are. But I'll soon find out...

what MPH will this car red line 2nd gear at?

it seems like this car has different ratios than the 177mph nera?

The gear ratio b/w a manual tranny G and an egear is not the same. The egear has shorter gears.

I see, so that leaves starting in 2nd gear out of the question in a E-gear car.

Unreal, simply unreal. I can't even imagine how that must feel. Awsome work UGR and hope to see a line up against a Switzer r1k or Alpha 12.

The run is one of the cleanest I've ever seen with ZERO dropouts. It was actually uphill, read the graph and you will notice it was at a slight incline. The one single spike in G's is the shift from 3rd to 4th gear and the spike is the hit when it engages 4th gear. UGR has an aggressive software related to the e-gear cars and it feels like a sledgehammer is hitting the back of the car on every WOT shift. I'm sure you've never felt a shift at 1500 whp....fwiw that's the impact it has on the car and the longitudinal G's at that level.

Peter
p.s. not only did I verify the run but Scott (divexxtreme) did too...he has verified 1000's of these and I have verified hundreds...it's a legit run

What's the reason for the 0.6sec difference between this car and your one? There are both stage 3 cars with 15XXwhp no? Is it purely 6sp v Egear?
