for whatever its worth...

here's something from our runs

i'm sure US and other country results will vary. we regularly have 80-90% humidity, temps in the high 80's, and at best an ave of US 93 gas.

but even if the times are well down to what you folk get over there, the point is, this is what we all have to deal with over here, so its a level playing field.

the individual 60-130 #'s have been consistent with head to head runs we've done with the cars too.

again, "your results may vary", depending on your conditions



here's a video of the .1 RS run

I believe they briefly used warp drive.. the 60-130 on the print looks like a typo.

sorry, my bad-- that's a tiptronic car.

i have a graph too for the 6speed, and its 0.2 secs slower.

however at longer distances-- the two cars squared off 4x back to back over a mile recently, and the 6spd would pull away at higher speeds

chart is rolling start. the timing begins at precisely 60mph (96.5kph) and stops at 130mph (209.2kph), measured with a VBox. starting speed and ending speed don't matter.

though to achieve best times, we floor it at roughly 40mph to give the cars a good head of steam and build momentum.

most cars will get off the gas at around 140mph, though we've done the same tests in faster cars all the way to 170mph (where the results can be very different than at lower speeds)

sorry for confusion-- it IS 60-130mph, but the #'s on the Y-axis are in kph units.

fastest stock cars that we have around here (LP670-SV, ZR1, GT2, etc) will be in the 7's.

nothing compared to the TT Gallardo's and 1200rwhp GTR's you guys run over there!

obviously cars like the GT2 and 3 are not about straightly speed, but about track performance.

but c'mon, who hasn't had another car pull up beside him on a wide open road, and been tempted to give it a little go?
