With the new Dodge SRT now at 707 hp supercharged and the Viper at 640hp a major change will need to take place. A supercharged V10 Viper at around 725-750 HP will need to happen.

That's the NYC that I grew up in!
Me to and the place I left 37 years ago, now when I complain about SoCal I just think back from where I came.

dealerships around here are doing raffles to get rid of theirs
With the new Plastic mess-06 now at 650hp and much lighter then the Viper it will need a redo of some type or its done.

What is a typical clutch life for an 07 Egear? Driving conditions are mostly flat ground highway with very little stop and go traffic. I'm at 9,500 miles on original disc and curious if its time for replacement.
Cheers

Hey fastlane,
Neither of the events have been set yet. I hope I didn't get you too excited by referring to them as "upcoming". I just meant it as the next ones to be scheduled. The Mojave Mile just took place last month and there's a possibility it will be the only one for 2014 but sometimes a later event in October or November is announced during summer. The Coalinga/Bakersfield area 1/2 mile events are usually promoted by Shift Sector and we should see announcements for their next event soon. I was really hoping to have my car ready for the Mojave event last month but car builds - we know how they go. There's a possibility I'll be throwing the car on a trailer and hauling it up to Colorado Springs for the 1/2 mile event in late June. If you CA guys are interested in attending these events, I'll be sure to post them up when they're announced. Hope to see you all out there!
Yes please do I wanted to go to the Mojave event but I missed it by a week, didn't pay enough attention. I did the original 1 mile Mojave event with my LP640 when it was called runway titans, and a 1/2 mile event near Bakersfield put on by lambda lambda lambda and the lambda lambda lambda and the omega mu mu motor sports with my Mclaren. Always looking for an event to supplement the 1/4 mile weekends.

Are you still out in Riverside? Im in Palm Springs. I'll be involved in the upcoming 1/2 mile and full mile events in Mojave and Coalinga. Have fun out there and stay safe.
Do you know the dates of those two events
-
certainly sounds like it's shifting very fast.... 610HP, 3,200 pounds, AWD and DCT, 0-60 in 3.2, why so slow.... 991 Turbo has much less power, more weight and is much quicker....
True weight will be more like 3400 lbs in street trim

Yeah it's sick and the way it's specced out its perfect!
Not many

Had my R888's mounted up a couple weeks ago, I know not to 'get on' the car the first day so the lube can dry and not have he tires move/rotate on the rim. Last few times out I noticed some steering wheel vibration so I take it back up to the tire shop, they spin all 4 wheels and all of them are out of whack. They tested the wheels and they were perfect/true, then rebalanced, no more lube was added.
We marked the tires/wheels so we could tell if they moved and I drove home 20 miles, the car was super smooth. After parking I check the marks and two of the tires had moved 2-5 inches on the rim.
Anyone else see this, or test? R888's prone to this? not enough pressure maybe? I have 35 front and 32 rear....
Try sanding and roughing up the finish where the bead meets the wheel that should solve the problem.

recommend GMG racing system. I replaced my fabspeed with GMG system

Did you ever get a before and after Dyno number.

This has not been the first time Blue Monster has not understood or been confused about something, he seems short tempered.

I guess it all depend on when you buy I went to the dealer in march or April 2012 priced the MP4-12c out how I wanted it, the MSRP was $294300 they wanted to order it for me said about 4 months wait I asked for a discount from MSRP NO not even $1000 off I walked. I went back into the market about 6-7 months later right after the 2013 start to show up bought exactly what I wanted at $45000 off MSRP. So if I bought the first time I would feel pissed at how much it went down but I think at the price I paid the drop is no big deal, especially for a car that rides and handles real well and runs low 10s in the 1/4 mile. Timing is everything.
-
we had 93 in the cars for the 10.19 and 10.27 runs, later on during the day we put some 100 octane in, no performance increases....
Did the DA increase latter in the day it usually will. 15 hp gets lost between runs, were you able to note the DA for those runs it should have been around 0-200 feet
-
I have seen Mclaren vs Aventador in lots of 1/4 mile runs and a half mile runs and since the Mclaren had its update at the end of 2012 it has won every race I have seen. The McLaren has run mostly low to mid tens the Aventador has run low elevens the only time I have seen a high 10 listed for the Aventador is from a magazine , it is capable in good weather and good driver to run a high 10. The Mclaren in good air will perform great the ECM lets the boost come in, when it's hot it backs it way out to protect the motor and knocks off a few tenths.
-
just the tune, I was hoping for more as well..... probably about a 25HP gain... I held both cars to 150 MPH, will get the vbox data to compare later....
It works out to 14 hp gain. What gas was used in each car MP4 will pick up 15hp on 95-100 octane.
-
Ran 10.27 @ 135.5 MPH in my stock McLaren with the R888 tires..... I also drove a friends McLaren with a EVOMS tune right after my pass, same lane, same weather, same tires, and ran 10.19 @ 136.8 MPH....
videos and slips coming tomorrow...
Great runs do you know what the DA was for those runs.

Vik as in " Rossa Vik"

I was wondering why its been so quite around here this week. Its FiksGTS turn to have him in his hood for a while.

681.45K) my car 624 awhp
So yours is a bit up on power The other one you don't know because like I said the Dyno doesn't tell crank HP only Whp and you don't know what the Dyno operator used to convert it. Example
at the wheels
624Whp
10%=693
12%=709
14%=726
16%=744
18%=762
20%=780
25%=832
-
this looks over rated this is hp @ the crank! And thanks for your patience!(84.13K. 683 hp @ the crank!
This is different then what we were talking about before. 680hp at the crank is a bit low, the dyno did not give crank HP it gave WHP so the 680 came from someone converting it up from WHP I thought you said it made 624WHP if so it is much more then 680 crank. Find out what it made at the wheels.
-
It's possible but not likely unless the car is factory de-tuned, example, C63 AMG....

75hp extra from only an ECU-map; on a naturally aspirated engine. no chance in hell.
It may be setup to add some power in the mid range where it was low without changing the peak power.

Ok thanks again ! What does your car put @ the wheels? And I would like for you to explain since you are a expert in this.LP-700-4 has 680 hp @ crank! So does Lp-720 have only 700 hp @ the. Crank? If so why are they under what they are rated at?They can be of by 20 hp?if so why is this?
You seem to be confused if the car made 624 HP on the Dyno that is WHP at the crank it is 700-725 hp that is more then the 691 advertised nobody said it was 680 at the crank. It is under rated it puts out a bit more then advertised 691 if it is 700-725. The new 720 is rated by the factory about 19-20 hp higher when someone puts it on the same Dyno at the same time as a 700 you will know the difference between the two probably not much a bit of a software tune will due that much change If the average engine is 2% of advertised then you are looking at less then 15HP either way. The daily weather change causes more then that.
-
It is silly ! I'm stupid ... Don't know what the heck I was thinking sorry! Do you know how The Factory gets there HP on each model? I don't bring my cars to the track ! Don't want to get own away with 680 hp that's what I have or do I have less than this to?
You have between 700-725 HP
-
I agree with you 100% .... !!!
only figure anyone should be interested in, and what the industry should accept going forward, is the amount of power being put down AT THE WHEELS. Anything else is useless info.
I agree with you 100% .... !!!
So if you agree 100% why don't you just post your 624 WHP which is a really good number instead of trying to say it means 780 hp
Love this Ferrari

This is not the same car or even the same year. I know this car. It was photographed on my driveway.
