Edition 1 coupe 1/4 Mile

I took delivery of my coupe last Thursday and ran it at Byron Dragway this morning. The coupes are definitely a bit faster than sedans... 11.51 @ 120

That's a really good time. Your 60' shows you hooked up pretty darn good.

Only a few years ago, numbers like this were supercar territory.

Yes! Full pressure, full tank of fuel. Same as my 11.60 run in my sedan.

Thanks!! Prep was superb, I had very minimal wheel spin. It was chirping the tires on 2nd and 3rd gear shifts though. This car really shifts hard in Race mode where my sedan felt the same between Sport + and Race.

Race mode still shifts up automatically, right? Haven't been able to use it due to break in period

Considering you're only about a tenth off from your sedan times, I'd say they're both about even though. The chirping and losing slight traction probably actually hindered the coupe. Although, you not having access to race start might've hindered the coupe times even more. Very curious to see how close you can get to 10s with race start, drag radials and full prep.

Man, local Wednesday night drags prep at Sonoma aren't nearly as good as your track. Then again, I suck at launching and can get beat by a Civic off the line pretty consistently so meh.
