so here are my results, i think my car needs a better driver.

First: traction problem
second: modded 911 were getting 11.7 & 11.5, they were spining although the have slick tires on all the 4 of them and it is 700hp +
C63: exhuast & tune was getting 13.5 , M5 tuned + exhuast best time 12.27 with slicks

so i am satisfied with my result for a first time with bad track floor, i just can feel it grips when i pass by the 60ft. but before it i sure saw normal streets are better.

any way. here is my time slip, i am No. 159 and the one with me was a EvoX with 400hp Double clutch.

whats wrong with those MPHs???? is that in Kilometers ?

ahmad0658

You need to practice , and I need to practice more than you do by 5 times

Anyway, it would be good experience to go there, when is the next one Ali?

How much ?

moosejaw

Those times are KPH
660ft is 1/8 mile @ 7.922
1320 ft is 1.4 mile@ 12.007 =117 mph

Im a noob, but right off the top:

Your 60' was 2.13, and that is a clear indication of traction issues. (As much as people hate when this is said):

If your 60' was in line with what is possible.. a 1.6 would have netted you a time of: 11.47

That is based on a standard mathimatical deduction. In reallity, a quicker 60 foot will yeild more up top, so I imagine you could see low 11.3 or better GREAT JOB!!

Did you have fun????

It's nice to see you hitting the drag strip instead of your usual high speed street runs Ali!

BTW Your intake parts are on the way to your NY address and that should bring your times down even more!

NICE JOB Brotha!

Great job Ali!! I was wondering when you would get it on the drag strip!

Did the conversion and you hit the traps (ending lights) at 117.3 mph.

Not too shabby!

Ali_E55

there was another one when i reached 196.63 km @@

but the time was slower.

i am really suffering from the traction. but imagine 2010 911 with slick tires is suffering as well because of spinning @@. inever thought i would see a 911 spining from dig with PDK.

really bad floor. even the new GTR was slipping.

comapred to others i was good.

but i think i need to practice.

Ali_E55

thanks man.

i will re-tune it because im doing some porting for my TB and installed LT headers. + the new intake.

can you get me some slick tires for 18" x 9.5" wheels ??
i will need them sent directly to my UAE address if it is possible.

Ali_E55

next time is Jnuary 5th 2011.

300 AED + 100 for the helmet if you dont have. and you can run your car as much as you want.

Ali_E55

i sure did. it feels nice to be better than ferrari 458 Italia, CTS-V, lol

i tried 4 times back to back and my time was close 12.1XX.

i noticed for every .1 in the 60 ft i saw a gain of 0.3 at the end of the 1/4 mile.

i think next month with i set of a slicky tires and new tune + setup i will try to get in the 11.5.

for the first time i feel that too much TQ is not good lo0ol

but it is sure enoyment.

I am not sure about using Nitto in a slippy ground. I have heard that they are bad in wet surfaces.

Why don't you try your normal street tires?

Ali_E55

they are my street tires.

lol

they are NT05

desertland

Hi Ali, have no doubt that with the set up you're running, and with some more runs, you'll be hitting sub 11s no problem.

It will be your ride that will represent the first 10s ride here in the UAE, keep hitting that strip

Where is the drag strip, becasue I certainly would like to come down at the next meet

skratch77

Those are my next tires that Im running on the street!!! Im suprsied that they didnt get you a decent 60ft.Was the track preped at all?

Ali_E55

i really hope so. thanks man

it is in Yas Marina Circuit.

Ali_E55

they are sticky on the street and i get a good luanch. but i think the track wasn't prepared . as i mentioned 911s with slick tires were spining @ luanch getting 11.7 - 11.5 and they are modded from 600hp - 700hp. even the new GTRs.

ahmad0658

I believe you will do much better next time because you have clear idea on how the ground feels like.

Just practice for a while on lunching the car and it will be fine next time.

DAGREEKNYC

the Nitto INvo's are great for warm weather and the track . I would not worry .

in cold weather they have issues until they heat up.

skratch77

I have the invos now,but have maxed there grip for the street!!! they also get really hard in the cold and have zero traction in the winter months.

I am going with the nt05s next.Discount tires direct has them for like 205 each with free shipping in the 275/35/18 size

DAGREEKNYC

true . I forgot to mention when i use them at the track the PSI is @ 16-18 and they get heated up well . Will check them out . I need new rears again .

i take it you deal with that annoying vibration too until they warm up ???

Drove me crazy trying to figure it out

skratch77

I thought I was going crazzy!!! I balanced them 4 times untill it hit me that in the warm they don't vibrate and only when its cold they do it.

Im going with the nt05s next and ill let you know how they compare to the invos

LOCO 05' E55

Get yourself a set of 16''s CCW's or Clk wheels with somE DR's and that 2.0 60' will eventually become 1.60's

Nice runs!

Check out the drag racing sticky if you haven't yet. There is some good stuff on the launch which is key for all of you high HP Es. I always put my car in the softest suspension mode and raise the suspension to the highest level basically trying to shift weight to the rear wheels as much as possible.
