The humidity is high, 80%, but it is like 60 degrees outside. DragTimes is showing the DA is like 970' feet. That isn't horrible at all since we are about 758' or so above sea level.


But yes, hooking you should see 11 second timeslips. Sea level, or below, air will help out even more. Which will be here in a couple weeks. Sadly.

Also, I found a nice review for my tires :rofl:

Thanks Crystal Lake VW for putting these on prior to me buying the car.

User data suggests that the SP Sport 01 A/S is characterized by lackluster to poor performance across essentially all evaluative metrics. Winter condition capabilities and comfort characteristics are particularly poor, with ride quality being near worst in class.

Treadlife is also notably below average for the ultra high performance all season category.

The SP Sport 01 A/S lacks performance, reliability, and durability. We suggest that you consider alternative ultra high performance all season tires when it comes time to replace your OE tires.

111.99 it claims (we'll round to 112), vs 113 yesterday.

ok So basically it is easiest to calculate what the car "should" run at sea level. Again, just for comparisons. Mainly when making changes. And this is using the modified turbo motor formula. Like 95SC said, the n/a engine formula would have a bigger difference in the actual ET and the calculated sea level ET due to the DA.



The 12.1 @ 112 mph at 2280' DA would be about 11.982 @ 113.107 MPH at sea level.

The 12.09 @ 113 mph at 927' DA would be about a 12.07 @ 113.399 MPH at sea level.




So you can see the corrected times are very similar. A change in just about anything could make up the difference in the two. The car is pretty stock and has launch control. It should perform pretty consistently.
