My 1/4 Mile race against 600HP Supra (Video)

[Sql_PL]

If you are interested you can download the video of my race with a nice prepared supra. He won the race but still it's good to see how does the quattro start look like. I have to add that this supra is prepared especially for 1/4 mile racing so i think it's not a shame to lose with it in my estate. [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I can't see the movie here (firewall I expect) but the pics look good.
I like the paint on the Supra.

Your car looks tasty too (whats the paper in the rear window - car's spec or are you selling it ?)
Nogaro Blue. mmmMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmm [img]images/graemlins/1syellow1.gif[/img]

whats the paper in the rear window - car's spec or are you selling it ?

it is a paper with number and class given at the competition

[Sql_PL]

selling it? - impossible... i don't even have an idea what to replace it with... the best car on the planet for me at the moment... even now with only MTM Stage I upgrade added... this season i hope to equipe it with milltek exhaust and unichip ecu - i hope it'll give about 480 hp and then it'll be awesome!

Bloody fantastic start Sql [img]images/graemlins/thumb.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img]. What were the elapsed times / terminal velocities? Took him long enough to overhaul you, or does the video lie? You gave the rice rocket a real fright!

Cheers [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img]

[Sql_PL]

Thank you TimJMS!

Video doesn't lie, the RS4 with its quattro system and starting technic like 5500 rpm and sidestepping the cluch is really hard to beat. The problem of this run was that i misshifted the 4th gear [img]images/graemlins/033102bad_1_prv.gif[/img]

His ET + RT at this race was 12.7 so i think mine would be around 12.8, maybe 13.0 but because of this 4th gear it was 13.9 [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

But still in another race i killed the E50 AMG totally, but this merc isn't powerful enough to be really proud of killing it [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[Sql_PL]

"terminal velocities" - you mean trap speed at the end of the 402,5 m track? it wasn't measured this time but it is something around 190 km/h at the speedometer.

[TimJMS]

Yep.... your speed at the end of the run is what I meant. Your poor clutch!! [img]images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Thanks.

Supra does always have very lousy start, due to their rear suspension setup. Mid-high 10 sec. cars w. 630-650 rwhp., running 135-140 mph trap speeds are common, beacuse they usually never achieve better than 2,0 60-ft. Normally with such trap speed, you should run at least mid 9's. So if you can achieve 1,8 60-ft time against 2,2 typical to Supra, it means appr. 0,6 sec. advantage on finish line. But I would avoid racing with them from running start - those things can really fly. [img]images/graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
