I ran my girls RS1 5 speed (bone stock) last night at the Bradenton 1/4mi track. ran a best of 17.3 @ 77mph with a 2.4 60' & reaction time of .133.
here's a pic of the launch... check out that weight transfer! lol

Sweet pic

 

Looks like some shameless wheelspin lol

 

Thats so cool, a box at the track, I run my autobox see if I can break 18.00, I doubt it. Bill

 

Nice times. Wonder if we can drop that 60' time down more for a stock box or if that's pretty much the best there can be.

 

what do they normally run stock? has anyone else posted their times?

Someone posted running a full second slower a few weeks back.

 

oh wow... must of been auto, right?

only ran my girls rs1 twice. I know I could get a better time with a little more practice.

my reaction time woudl be slooooooow that little box bithc a torquey and im not used to that.. so i start slow till i can get used to it.

 

what rpm did you launch at?

my lowest for my xA is 17.2

 

I tried to keep it right at 2,500 but I wasn't looking at it when the tree lit up. didn't lower the tire pressure or anything. I really wanna give it another try soon.

need a wheelie bar!

 

Joe, i saw a high sixteen 1/4 time posted on the internet somewhere. The manual, according to that site that i cant remember, is alomst 2 sec. faster than the auto.

 

actually, that is about the same stock 1/4 time as a stcok 2.4l tacoma.

 

I did a power-weight calc earlier. You should be at 16.37 if you're a PERFECT driver.

Keep practicing.

Unfortunately that doesn't include aerodynamics. :D Tack about .5 onto that. If he's lucky he might be able to drop his 60' down to about 2.2 at best with stock tires. That would put him at ~17.0. Launch & shift techniques could possibly shave that down to a best of 16.8. Otherwise the aerodynamics will kill it from making that time. I did see R & T got a 17.3 out of it also which is impressive for a car mag to get such an accurate time for once.

 

The calculated ET on my car is a 14.88. The best i've run is a 15.2. I know I can bring it down more, so aerodynamics doesn't play THAT much of a part, maybe .2 of a second.

You're not hitting 300mph here, aerodynamics isn't that noticible at like 85mph.

link? I'd love to know what my trucks potential really is. thx
