Note that the stock road going car (EVO VIII MR GSR) only put down a 13.1 quarter. The cars in the 12's are the RS lightweight rally versions. Very different car to the road car. Fully stripped out and caged race car.

 

wait is 1000meters a 1/4miles casue wasnt it 400m and then 1000 meters

 

Given that i live in Australia, the land of metric, I can help here. The quarter mile is 400 meters. So they give you a 400m time and then nail it for 1000 metres. For reference, a mile is approx 1500 meters.

 

my car went 12.8 stock on stock 17s.. and 13.201 stock w/18inch volks the 60' on the 12.8 was a 1.6 on the 13.2 was a 1.81

the 18's are way harder for me to get rolling quickly. The only mods are the suspension at this time. i also have an 03.. you call can call bs.. but it happend..

maybe my tracks timers are broken though. I ran some pretty crazy times in my msp also tho

 

damn the japs shift really crazy

 

that vid is crap...the evo gets last place...

 

A Quater Mile is 402 meters and 1 mile is 1608 meters.

launching at 7k on street tires just causes a ton of wheel spin. Not the most effcient way to launch. No way you will be getting a 1.6 unless you using some DR's. People break the tcases because they try to find that middle ground between spinning and no spin. No spin = worst on tcase IMO

 

Theres always one in every crowd

 

Is this always the case when going from a 17" to an 18" rim. Will a car usually slow down almost a 1/2 second? What do you attribute this to? Is it the different tires? The Volks are lighter than the stock rims....I don't understand.

 

seen those vids before...i don't think that was a total dump...they still slipped it

 

no they dont slip it what they do is that they realese the clutch pedal very fast but they dont dump it as in side stepping your foot!
i will upload the clip where they have a camera filming the pedals!
