Timed acceleration runs

Post by Graeme4130 » Wed Apr 02, 2014 3:25 pm

I know it's not exactly a vbox, but this is the last launch timing I had in my RS4
The app's called dynolicious and when I compared it to vbox data once, it wasn't too far out

Temp was 14deg and the road was dry

I'll do the same in the rs5 I have on loan if I get a chance

Anyone else have any data ?

Only similar data I've seen so far is the Chris Harris rs4 vs s4 test. Impressive Graeme

it's a lot more accurate than people give it credit for!

This was my best run in the RS3 prior to it having APR' stage 1 map:

You can see where forced induction benefits the '3 compared to Graeme's time. I didn't think it would be so pronounced.

200KG extra weight?
Quattro drivetrain losses?
Naturally aspirated vs. Forced induction.
Both using launch control?
Level road?

There's definitely a fair amount of variables in that comparison. However, I've come against a modded rs3 before in a straight line, and got smoked :(

Did a few runs tonight. This was the best timing.

Launch control
27 Deg
Relatively flat surface
Dry surface
38/35 PSI tire pressure measured cold in the morning
Full tank of fuel
No passenger, only driver
Minimal luggage

Ignore the higher speed timing. I let off after hitting 180 because I had to turn off Stability control for executing the Launch Control and thought to take it easy.

One more thing, I am on Toyo T1A0 tires. Stock tires for the RS4 at this part of the world.

Yup, can't wait to test her again with other bolt on parts. Nothing as serious as yours :beerchug:

It was flat road, launch control.

It fairness it averaged out at 4.3 over 4 runs.

I've not managed to run yet since the map however others are quoting times of 3.3-3.6 mapped, i do know those on super bikes don't pull away from you at the lights :bigblink:

A fireblade will do 0-60 in 2.8 and 100 in 5.5, so to keep a superbike in view off the lights is veyron fast
