1/8 Mile times in a 928 ?
Hi All 
I have a new Drag strip opening near me in the South of England on the 10th June and I will be running there to see what times I can get on the 1/8 mile.
Never run an 1/8 ,so anyone got any times for their 928s ??
I think I should run around a low 8...but not sure...
Anyone like to guess what I will run ????
All the best Brett

I never ran in the 8th either but to me the 1/4 is the real deal. There is just not enough distance to get a good race out of it. For slower cars the 8th is sufficient but anything tfaster than mid 14sec should do it on the 1/4.

hell, even the 1/4 mile is not a good representation of what the 928 was built for.
I've had a few want to do 1/4 mile runs with me and when I tell them i'd rather do a standing mile they change thier minds.
Unless you change some gears or get to that 1000hp mark, 1/8th mile is totally worthless to you.

Go to www.dragtimes.com and look up the 928....mines on there (the slowest) & I think it has the 1/8 time on it?

1 mile !If your 928 does an 8 second 1/8 it will be the fastest 928 i'm aware off......closer to 10 second 1/8 is more reasonable ....

Hi All
Good suggestion about dragtimes.com
Top 3 are...
8.37 @ 86 (Imre T.) dont think N/A but doesnt say...
8.6 @ 89 (Turbo)
8.8 @ 88 (Supercharged)
So...hopefully I will run an 8 ish
But even though I have more hp than all of those three.....as an 1/8 is about launch/traction and I dont have an LSD....we will see
All the best Brett

Even with widly different HP 928's all the 1/8 times are within a second or so....so clearly its all about the launch to get a good 1/8 time.... On my run I got DESTROYED off the line by a 5 speed 1999 M3....but by about 2/3rd track I caught and passed him....after he asked me "thats got a flat 6????" I said "uh no"

With finishing speeds of 86 to 89....they must be at least in third ??
My AUTO changes into third at 77 mph...

My car shifts 2nd to 3rd at 140kph (90mph). Perhaps you can alter the shifting pattern to save a shift and more importantly time.
What year's your car again?

Just looked at your times, I see what you mean....all the top 9 times including yours are between 8.37 and 9.4 and 77 mph to 89 mph...
Well its pretty certain I will run somewhere in the 8s or 9s...but a 7 would be nice

Besides, the 928 has long legs and the gearing to make that so.
