Does this time seem ok for my spec? was hoping to get into the late 12's
how does this compare to anyone with a similar spec?

 

no idea how good, or how bad ur times are, but as a comparison, i ran a 13.41 at york raceway a few months back.

Standard MY05 WRX PPP.

Jeez mate, that is pretty sh1te...reaction time pretty slow as well

FYI big scooters are running 13sec qtrs now...

 

a better start and youll have your 12....

1.8 to 60ft is fairly normal.

 

Lol, yeah think i need to sort the launch! just kept bogging

 

If his 0-60ft time is good, how will a better start improve the time......


Im being a little presumptious here but with those times, im guessing you were in a qualifying section. Therefore the reaction time means nothing to the total time, you should really be getting .6 to .7's, for the reaction, .5 is a perfect launch. But, like i siad, this time means nothing to the 1/4 time when qualifying,


john

 

by start i meant 60ft....

hence why i said 1.8 is normal, whereas his was 2.0, subtracting 0.2 from 13.1 give your 12.9......which is what i was getting at?

 

ha ha, sorry fella, i jumped the gun a bit there


i didnt read his time, i thought you were quoting his 0-60ft time.....




john

 

hehe no problemo

 

He was

There is a school of thought that suggests that for every 0.1s you take off your 60ft time you reduce you terminal by 0.2s.

Which is a good job as I used to lose 1s a run on my gearchanges alone

2s is slow for a Scoob

1.8s is average although lots of people don't get better than this

1.6s is very good

1.5s is outstanding and very few cars achieve this


If you were bogging you simply were not being brutal enough. With 330bhp in a classic you need to drop the clutch at much higher revs, 5,500rpm plus, and make sure you get wheelspin.

Then as the wheels spin hold it on the limiter until you feel the acceleration start to petre out. Then change into second - this will give a fabulous 60ft time as you will be changing into second after you had hit 60ft. Technique used by A Forrest no less and in all the different Scoobs I have driven it worked for me too getting 1.6 and 1.7s 60ft times with great frequency.

With your power to weight ratio a good quarter miler could get well into the 12s (so not me then - I was only really good at starts!)

Rannoch

PS Edited to add that the wheelspin technique may seem brutal however is actually less harmful than not breakink traction and breaking something else such as you clutch, gearbox, driveshaft, etc, etc.

 

cheers for that, will give it a go next time!

 

he wasnt quoting his time, u made the same mistake as me,

he said 1.8, where as sc00bylee quotes 2.046


john

 

I didn't think he was quoting his time - I thought he was quoting a good time to go for - which he was.

Oh well

 

am lost lol

not to mention really tired lol
