Congratulations! UGR folks are probably not thrilled at this development... all that displacement and force distribution among 10cyls and still being spanked by 6-bangers. AFAIK, GTRs at that level are a good 500hp at the wheels over your crank output. Whatever Emre is doing to keep that thing planted is epic.
I'm just starting to relearn my car now that its running on motec and never cease to be impressed at how far these aftermarket builds are past the cream of manufacturer crop.Just dawned on me too that you blew by the top speed of a RUF CTR... in 1/2 a mile. RUF should probably call Emre themselves

Yes, I don't think most people understand how good Emre is. Not just at making high power, but all of the little details. Car making tons of power, putting it down and logs are super clean. Also have to give props to the boyz at AIM for the setup of the car. Suspension and ride height are perfect. Great tire advice, etc.
Best wishes with you car!

@8SecDD As usual mind blowing result.
I have a question about the acceleration graph:
Is the noise in the graph the result of poor signal acquisition, sampling, and conditioning?
Or is the thing struggling that much for traction over the run?
I would expect to see some evidence of “struggling” when acceleration is greater than ~1G (on treaded street tires) below 80-ish mph when aero downforce starts to matter. But, in your graph, above that there’s still very significant variation in display acceleration which I would not expect to see.

Was not struggling for traction that much. Emre has it running near the limits of traction but car felt planted on this pass.

Looking at your last screenshot posted above:
Is it shifting at about 140 mph and again at about 180 mph?

Killing it as usual Dave. Bartending the parking lot on Friday, 220 passes on Saturday.
Yeah its the shifts, watch the video goes into 5th at around 145, 6th right around 180.
The noise is the acceleration graph, dips are usually loss of traction and shifts even a fast shifting pdk will have a dip, a manual car will have an even bigger dip . The car makes 1500whp, probably even a little more to go 220 and is making a pass on an unprepped surface thats anything but smooth and has dips, ruts, ect.

I'm pretty sure UGR set a new world record w/ a Lambo STO for hitting 260mph+, IIRC, per their IG page.
I get what you're saying with the resources poured into those UGRs, which are amazing in their own right, but not sure 40+mph behind is 'spanking'... As long as they're both doing the 1/2 mile which I think they are. My track tech has a UGR Gallardo which I've ridden in and it's something to experience first-hand.
Either way, congrats to anyone setting new records, this will be a fun video to watch during lunch!

They went 260+ and have the overall 1/2 mile record, I think their slowest car this weekend went 240. They literally dont care.
This, when it comes to 1/2 stuff the lambo will always be king. Especially the STO , the aero, the traction and not just power. The one other lambo from horsepower lounge did go 251 so other shops are figuring it out . The v10 platform will always be king.

Grew up going to the bonneville salt flats. Has anyone run a turbo on longer courses. What kind of speed would you see if geared for a long course do you think?

Not sure what a 991 would do.
