dude Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Santa Pod never comforms, sometimes I think a wet forcast is better as it does the opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 I hope the weather is ok, perfect shakedown for suprapod, im doing some research and i dont think these 9's are going to be easy with my spec, might need Nitrous and full on drag slicks to do it.

Why drag slicks dude ??? I reckon you will run in the 9's straight off but the nitrous will really wake it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 Yanks seem to get a lot better times with drag slicks than radials, will see what happens, only a few days to go now, well excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Yanks seem to get a lot better times with drag slicks than radials, will see what happens, only a few days to go now, well excited. Ive put this up about 4 times now in the arguments about fastest street legal cars, I spoke to Titan and they said the only reason they run a slick is to stop things breaking on the drag strip the slick is kinder to the car as it has more movement in the sidewall, I think the fastest time on a DR is a high 6 in the states (don't know what car) also at proper meetings 2nd hand slicks are cheap and easy to get.

JP that does not add up the terminal would prob suggest about 850-900 hp you made more on road fuel !!!! Plus a 1.5 60ft and his spec should easily have been in the 9's unless he cant drive, I still say your car is easily a 9 sec car, so to me that means it will run under a 9.8 after you get used to it, with a little sniff I reckon very low 9's especially if you go race fuel and 2.5 bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I really hope u do it!! Save it for Friday so i can watch eh Depends how much mapping we get done tomorrow at TDI and wether we get the nitrous set up, if the nitrous goes well there is no reason it wont run in the 8's.
