Posted under the C32/C55 section, but just figured this is more of an appropriate section to post.

C55k takes the win

Jons95c36amg

Thats sad for a "supercar". Mustve been the V8 425hp. The V10 520hp wouldve been a different story.

Supercars are not always the fastest. Drive the R8-- its quite the car. And yes there is no way that was the V10.

Agreed....

Just want to add two things to "alumar":

1. Good kill anyways, one hellvua sleeper you have there

2. What did the red truck run that was ahead of you? Those things can be scary quick through the 1/4 consdiering they weigh 7500lbs (scary fast, and scary stability)

The Audi was a Bone Stock R8 V8 (2009) /w 9k miles and his best of the night was 12.97 @ 108.8 - once he got the hang of launching ... he was launching @ 3k rpm by the end of the night, which is nearly dumping the clutch ...not the best for the car

My best of the night was 12.33 @ 116.11, as you can see from my signature the benz normally is low 12's not high 12's... but I slipped a bit in the video, yet the power brought the win.

A V10 525hp version would have been a different story, esp if driven properly. Those are high 11 sec cars at about 115mph due to the AWD

Lastly, the truck in front of me was a desiel and it ran like 12.88 @ 111 ...f'in quick

Deuuuce

115mph at your track? A 6spd AMT car would trap in the low 120s.

alumar

The fastest on dragtimes is 11.88 @ 121mph, and does not say its stock only...

The few that are listed are showing low 12's @ 115-117mph

525HP to the crank on those results in the mid-high 460's to wheels, which is indicative of high teens on a trap

If they were actually putting near 500AWHP ...then ya, it would be low 120's to mid

I think that 525 is something of a conservative figure so as not to annoy Lambo...this is what I read in one of the Brit mags so take it FWIW

Very disappointing times for the R80, slower than my 63

Deuuuce

Funny, 3 of the 4 stock V10s are trapping 120+ mph on dragtimes.

Horsepower alone doesn't mean anything. With AWD and a rough weight of 3500lbs the R8 SHOULD be trapping low-mid 120's @ high 11's.

Look at the GTR, it weighs 3800lbs, has about 50 less hp and they run high 11's at high teens - low 120's.

Just because the times are on drag times doesn't mean the drivers were beating their car at the track or knew how to race them.

I understand the calculation and after more review of the R8 V10, it does in fact look like it’s a consistent low 120 trap car. Sorry wasn’t the proverbial expert on that exact car, I shouldn't of made a statement that would resonate as such.

Additionally, I understand the physics at play ...there is a lot of factors in the calculation if you take driver part out of it.

Drag coeff, traction, weight, gearing, horsepower.... all factors on a trap time...Not to mention the countless measures on the car, heat soak, oil temp... etc

You couple that with a driver with limited experience and you can have all sorts of weird results.

I have seen an immeasurable amount of examples where everyone knew a particular car should do X and it did Y ... Case in point my race vs a Z06 Ligenfelter /w MT slicks ... Should have done a lot better ... yet see results

Yeah exactly.

You have a sick car though Alumar. I am currently picking out a new daily and the C55 is a contender. I just love the way that redesigned front end looks, plus the price they are selling for these days is a bargain.


Edit: Seems like the Vette shifted too early from 2nd to 3rd. Do you know if it was an NA or a SCed Lingenfelter?

alumar

It was labeled on the video as S/C'd but after talking with the Driver on Z06 forums, it was a H/C and few other bolt on N/A LPE car... still it shoulda been around your ET/Traps

He seemed like he was shortshifting

this thing is mean!
