So, I left the track a lil disspointed, but pleased at the same time. These cars are capable of running mid 14's stock and I'm a full second off.

I notice myself start pulling at about the 1/8th when shifting into 3rd mile where my car starts to really pull in the top end.

From the 1/8th to the 1/4 my car pulls 20MPH where as most other cars I was racing pull about 13MPH.

I notice a HUGE difference when shifting into 3rd which wasnted shifting properly.

I tried shifting manually, and in sport mode and different combinations of driving. Manul mode is the best, but the tranny slips hard into 3rd costing me at least half a second just to shift.

The trapspeed is high enough to run low low 15's.

I didn't exactly use the full potential of the car because either the shifts would slip or I would mess up the launch.

On the way back home, I noticed that the car pulls harder over 140 than under it. The higher the speed, the car accelerates faster.

This is truly a top end car BIG TIME, and I thought Supra's had bottom end issues. lol

All in all, I'm still happy with knowing that Im' pretty much pulling anything in the top end.

I ran an RX-7 that pulled 12.500@113MPH and he only pulled 2 miles from 1/8 to the 1/4.

Anyone up for a 1000metre dash????? lol

Wow this thread has gone out of conrtol! :p

So, I'm hitting up the track tommorrow again for one last time. I'm planning on a much better time due to a little practice.

EuroCoupe

U.S. 560SEC's run 15.5 1/4mi with the 238hp "choker" motor. A euro 560 should run high 14's to low 15's. I ran a 14.9 with no traction from first and halfway through second gear in my old euro 560 when I had 16x7 wheels. You need to get that tranny fixed. Are you having any wheel spin on launch? Are you making sure to launch out of first gear(2>B)? My trap speed was around 94mph. My old 500 Euro trap speed was 89mph with a 15.7 time.

I ran it yesterday and pulled a 15.1@92MPH.

lol i would have loved to race u the 1000 meter... my car pulls pretty damn good at those speeds as well...once a week i put my 500 SE at 160 for a good 15 min excercise hehehe

Never gonna get the chance to do that with this now. I could havee pulled High 14's.

I'm getting great traction launching from just under 2K RPM. The slipping 3rd gear hurts my time.

I found that the best way to shift the car was from 1rst gear (2>B) and than into drive and it went real well. I'll never get to run it again now.
