JoeDirt Report post Posted October 17, 2009 we have a video of a 221 mph run of my GT with a camera attached on the outside of my car. It's set inside my passenger air scoop. Probably take a couple of days to get it online, the internet speed (cell reception) is VERY slow at the track. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GARY JAVO Report post Posted October 17, 2009 Weight has less to do with it than you might think. The start doesn't make much of a difference either. The whole run is wrapped up in the big end of the track where your power to aerodynamic drag ratio is the main factor. If the lambos are really making north of 1400whp I think they have a chance at challenging the record. I can't wait for tomorrow's results.

pockmark Report post Posted October 17, 2009 That's what I was thinking, and I was trying to rationalize why they weren't at least in the 240s at those levels. Especially with awd, motec, boost by gear, and upgraded gears Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboGallardo Report post Posted October 17, 2009 Why did the Porsche spin? He was lucky not to end up on his roof. Keep the updates coming, and congrats to JoeDirt on the run. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDirt Report post Posted October 17, 2009 talked with one of the porsche guys and they think a wheel well liner came off and did something to move the car around. They also think it could have been a wind gust as well. We are having 15 mph crosswinds. My GT is moving around juuuuuuust a little compared to when we had tail winds in March.

Especially with awd, motec, boost by gear, and upgraded gears If anything, AWD would be more of a hindrance for top speed runs than an advantage, the mechanical friction takes away power. Once someone gets their hands on a Balboni 560 to work some TT magic things should get interesting. 2 questions: Who/what is "SW" with regard to the Supra? Why don't I seem to hear about any TT C0rve++e guys running the mile? I'd think those cars would do a good number. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLM Report post Posted October 17, 2009 #1..JoeDirt.. Congrats on the runs! Top notch... It seems your car runs almost identicly to mine in Miami... Jason also recorded a 4.65 60-130 and 0-202 was 19.02 running somewhere in the 950rwhp range according to Jason. #2.. I will stand up for UGR.. ONCE Some of you guys have NO IDEA how much balls it takes to drive these cars at the speeds they are going... Down low, until you hit say 4th gear, sure it fast, but it happens soo quickly and you arent yet hitting break neck speeds.. Its when you start clicking 4th,5th and 6th ( Ive never hit 6th in my TT G) that things start rushing by soo quickly that it takes MASSIVE balls to stay in it.. People dont realise that these cars accelerate as hard at those speeds as these cars do in first gear stock... As an example Accichellis recorded a 100-130mph time in his GTT of 2 seconds... The same time Ive gotten to go 0-30. I could not imagine being strapped into that car rocketing at 230+mph in under 1 mile on their first time out... Way more balls than Ive got... Glad everyone is ok and hope they all stay safe... Your not kidding! It takes big ones to stay in it especially when your in a street car. You don't have that sense of security at speed.

RedGTS Report post Posted October 17, 2009 Great news for RSC.. their bumper holds together at 217mph! I was just going to post that--Kyle's body guy must have used some serious epoxy on that splitter! And we may find out how well it holds up at 230 or so tomorrow--Kyle only got in the one pass.
