Just goes to show how important driver and conditions are.

We all know (even if you dont like the supercharger) that the supercharger CAN run much better than 15.8
But with the wrong driver and wrong conditions, even a ferrari will be slow. A car does not make the man, the man makes the car.

 

heehe...You'll Love this one guys.

Worlds fastest recorded/reported xA on SL, came to the ZPI ShootOut.

That was my s/c RS1. Everything in my drivetrain is still stock, including intake, header, exhaust, and the clutch. Only thing I changed out was an upgrade to a Bosch 110 Sport BPV. My clutch was slipping really bad. Halfway down the track, when trying to get into third, I saw the rpms climb, but the car wasn't moving any faster. Same thing in 4th gear. It was my first time at the track and i was a lil disappointed in the results too, so I let my friend in the s/c and N2O xA drive it down the track. He was able to get a 15.2. We were able to get in the mid-90s for MPH

My car was dyno'ed the next day on the Dyno Dynamics and got 164 whp (184 with their correction factor to get a DynoJet #).

 

Ive seen this xA in person. I must say it is very nice.

 

So you weren't having a problem with the track conditions, just problems with your clutch slipping?

What were your 60' times and 1/8th mile on your best run?

 

was the track wet when you went down the track? or did the SCed tC run on a different day?

 

^^All vids are of the same day, same conditions. My g/f is the one who averaged 15.1 times. I averaged 15.3. But when we first started racing, times were horrible. I'm talking like 16sec times when it was wet.

 

WOW so whats the dyno on that TC?

They are making me want a turbo bad...

 

i want the zpi turbo too.. but then i remember that im in cali and its not possible for me

s/c is good enough for me, its not like i am gonna drag it every week or something, this is my DD..so i want reliablity without havin to make sure everything is cool every day

 

Ive been thinking about a SC as well, but the price just seems way too high.

 

yo whats up with some 14.9's from us NO one taped that or just don't wanna post that so people can see what all motor does..? I mean come on we did it like 6 times

 

These videos are awesome. ZPI once again proving whos top dog. Now on that zpi silver tC, when right after he finished his burnout and comes to the starting line, what was that winding down noise? was it the sound of the turbo slowing down from all the boost it had during the burnout?

 

awesome vids

 

I have vids mike, i just have to charge the camcorder battery. will do it tomorrow if time persist. Did anyone tape my 15.0?

 

No, we got you dog. I'm still releasing vids as I go through the footage. So hold your horses ....We all know you had the fastest N/A tC there.

 

I was not there at the time. I was gone to Firestone getting the radials mounted, so you can blame my g/f for not getting that run on film. Good run nonetheless.

 

Don't blame me on not getting it. I wasn't there to videotape everything, I was there to enjoy myself. As for not posting the video of your time Mike, it's not because we don't want people to see that your faster. People be patient, it takes time ecspecially when it's my b/f doing the videos. He's a perfectionist.

 

The track would have been a lot better if it weren't for the rain overnight and if there were a lot more people racing that day. Here's the timeslip for the best run in my car:

R/T ----- .088

60' ----- 2.370

330 ----- 6.520

1/8 ------ 9.885

MPH ---- 39.23

1000 --- 12.775

1/4 ----- 15.219

MPH ---- 92.59

The clutch was warmed up by then, but still slipping a lil since we could smell it. I'm sure that 14's are possible without mods, other than a better clutch and some drag radials. I'm going to upgrade a few things and I'll be putting down a lot better numbers. I hope to eventually get in the 13's before too long, but have to work a few things out with my finances first. I'll be working very closely with blown_xA to get my car up to par.

 

Wish someone got the video of my 14.2...

That 15.2 pass with the xA = times.

 

You'll be the first SC'ed tC in the 13s if you do..

And what's up with the 1/8th trap speed? 39mph?? Was that a typo or is there ANOTHER problem with the time slips at that track?

1.5 60' times, now 39mph 1/8th trap speed.
