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 :lol:

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.

-ComaJoe

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.

-ComaJoe

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

Thx! =D

weight transfer????? uh yeah... i see it....

i also see the weight shifting off the drive wheels of a FWD car....

....our xB's aren't race cars by a long way. Always fun to pretend though (I guess).

no need for negativity man. if you don't like what other people do, great, but keep it to yourself. or at least keep it positive, ya know? having an open mind is the key =D

Dam, man. Its ok for others to try at least. Lets just have a corona and race your anyways! :lol:

AndrewTrue. Cool site by the way. Thanks for the link. One thing with that calc. You need to include the weight of the person unless you are doing it remote controlled :lol: So with me it came out to 16.81 which I could believe.

Nice link to SuperFord calc. Man, I need to lose some pounds, mine is 16.92 :!: :D

Did you get MAAAD Torquesteer??? :lol:
You HAD to read the last post on that to get it.

it is a cool pic though

I was thinking of finding that thread and saying something about maybe he wants to have that checked out. might be a loose wheel or something. I hope he didn't get hurt :(

negativity?? ya'll read the last line in my post right?? ??

I believe I said in effect - race car or not, screw it - have fun. 'fun' IS what the Scion was kinda introduced for

(just PLEASE, no one start sticking giant racer-boy aluminum wings on the roofs of their xB's.... lol).

Was the calculation done with flywheel HP or WHP? just wondering?

Aerodynamics also has to play a little role even at 60-80 mph...Stick your hand out driving 60 you will feel resistance.

i ran a 16.34 at the track. sorry to threadjack.

you know someone is going to do it

Those calculations are at the crank. WHP is 10-20% less than that.
