Very nice, got video?

With a bit more traction that's an easy mid 11 second ride. And with traction a mid 3 second 0-60. Very nice. :cool:

Thanks!

This was on street tires with full aero too. I'm positive that if I went back with some taller radials and got that 60' down to 1.8-1.9 it would be a mid/low 11. I managed a 2.0 60' my last run but missed 4th gear. A tenth on the 60' is 3 on top, so that could have been an 11.6 second run. Being able to keep it in 4th would help too, you lose a tenth or more per shift.

Not bad for a car that is NOT intended for drag racing at all.

Sweeeet! Thanks. Did you let off throttle a bit at launch or was that traction control?

At 5380' to boot.

Bog. 4k launch. Next run it blew them off though. Street tires are temperamental.

I have done some street runs and came close to what your getting. I feel on a strip I could pull a low 11 or high ten with right tires and practice. I got 8,500 top end which helps me hold the gears longer and shift less. I get to like almost 140 in 4th. Very nice bro!!!!!

My only complaint is how the car drives on average roads. It loves to chase the uneven pavement and makes it hard to drive if the road is not really nice. Maybe a bump steer kit and more precise alignment.... More caster, corner weighted.. Idk. I think I just have to tune the suspension more.... Ah more time

You could fix that with all that you stated. My car does not chase pavement when I secretly run through the hills :)

What are optimum suspension alignment specs. to avoid the tramlining that you mention? My 818S too is scary to drive on all but perfectly flat pavement. What bump steer kit?

I got the Baer bumpsteer kit from Summit Racing.
