Half Mile Trap Guesses?

[Euro]

i think i read somewhere that they didn't think the event was going to be as big as it is, so they did not buy any spots this time.

chumps!

Ya, I didn't even kniw this forum existed until about a week ago. Boost site is dead lol, nobody posts over tuere any longer. I have posted once over there in the past two months. Sticky is such a tool. He keeps putting people in the red and ripping into people, pretty soon he will have the entire site to himself lol.

Agree, Everyone from Chicago left or got put into the red... To bad the worlds most powerful e92 m3 wont be showing up lol what a pussy.

Should be 125-130 mph at the top of third gear. Not going to go WOT in fourth with my stock transmission.

I hope you do better than that, even i did 130 with the lower power. Your gears should give you plenty of room. They are still the 3.23's right? Can't remember if you went 3.73 yet lol

 

[l0wb00st]

I'd like to see high 140s or into the 150s. I have no concept of how fast/slow my car will be though. I don't drag race, so I have no clue haha

3.73. I'm pretty sure I'll be letting off before the half-mile marker. The tire size, rear end ratio and transmission gear calculators put my combo at roughly 128 mph at redline in third.

 

[Smokinhot]

Gotcha, well before i topped a rough 1/2 mile run at 128. Now i added more power and a higher rev limiter/shift point so i shoulf be around 134 at the top of third. I'd be happy there or just touching 140

So, did clint282 hit his 160mph goal or what?

 

[Smokinhot]

I'm not 100% sure on his fastest but he did hit 144

This thread brings the lolz now that the event is said and done.

 

[Smokinhot]

Yes it does!.... (secretly )

 

[willizm]

Hell I don't even know if ill hit 160, but good luck to ya.

A lot will depend on what tires you plan on running ,at the Georgia event my best time was from the roll ,when I tried from the dig I spent to much time trying to get traction ,that was with street tires , now with the event allowing burn outs I will try drag radials , for any one hoping to be in the 160 's you will most likely need 700rwhp ,good luck to every one

Covered and then some

Hit 165mph on low boost

I just realized this, but where the hell did Toolman go?

 

[SinisterSHO]

I just realized this, but where the hell did Toolman go?

he was on a trio from Tulsa to eastern Pennsylvania to pick up a car. He turbo car wasn't done anyways. He got to my house about 6 on Sunday so we could run autobahn on Monday.

Shit I did better then I thought... Its funny but you don't realize how much of a difference just a few mph in the 1/2 is until you see the race... I did 154 and got whooped by several cars by another dude who did 160 and I can honestly say my car is pretty quick considering I can trap 124-125mph in the 1/4... I ran a guy who did 145 and I probably put around 10+ cars on him...

 

[Smokinhot]

Yea, it is quite interesting how just a few mph puts a spread on you

 

[Breze84]

Its pretty crazy... This was a vid the guy I raced sent me from his car, I only ended up trapping a little more then him, our Z06's are pretty close build wise and Identical looks wise lol... The tape made me faster, But like you said you get the idea... I steadily pulled him with our mph both in the low 150's with about a 1mph - 1.5mph difference, so you can imagine 5mph and up...

Really? lol.

Here the video from the race on the back of MY GT-r.

Another angle.....

 

[Breze84]

That video wasn't even the same car or race lmao. I had 3 seperate GTR roll races. A dark gray a silver and a flat black one haha. Dude confused his race with the other

Yeah, I trapped 10mph higher than a c6z06 and it just looks brutal on video to the point where you don't even see the z06 anymore.

 

[Eagle]

I'll tell you that the diff from 143 to 170 was ridiculous. Entirely different game. I can't imagine the guys doing 200+
