P100D 1/4 Mile at PBIR vs Huracan...

[ggnykk]

More video from TRC:
10.79 second at 124.24 mph 1/4 mile confirmed. But that's with a very bad launch and bad track surface. By the way, why do any drag strip want to put "water box" (pool of water) right before your car roll into the launch area?? It just sound crazily stupid that reduce traction.

I have two questions to ask of those with more knowledge than myself. In the P90D versus P 100 D,, there is tape on the guards,, is this to stop stone chips or something to do with the internal part of the mud guard coming loose? Also I expect the fastest launch would be with the suspension in low, correct?

 

[lklundin]

thanks, we did all of that... no way it's worth 1/10th, but we did it...

I see that the timing slips use millisecond precision.

Although I am unsure how many of these digits are considered significant, I was wondering if it would yield a measurable reduction in drag to mount the camera on the inside of the vehicle (having it film through the window), and to fold in the side mirrors. (These changes could f.ex. be done to the ICE racing the Tesla in the first post, I can't tell if the side mirrors are folded on the Tesla, but it looks like it has a couple of roof mounted cameras).

you just said you wanted to race!

never raced the GTR in the 1/4. Don't want to break stuff

It does 3.5 secs 60 to 130

I might be able to find a plane

 

[fiksegts]

yes, I have the logs, max of 499 Kw.....

Was the TRC P90DL power ever logged? Still wonder if it could really be an accidental P100D. The performance of their P90D and P100D are really really close.

Ha! Brooks, just saw you and your kids in the "keep the water in the cup" clip on "Pop News" on the Disney Channel!

(My kids had it on that channel. I swear.)

hah, I heard about this yesterday, my kids were getting a ton of txt messages from their friends who saw them on Disney....

folding the Tesla side mirrors probably would make the aero drag worse, coz the flat side of the mirror would be exposed to the front.

 

[NSX1992]

Wrong. The Tesla mirrors have the pointed end forward when folded in. I tried it once drag racing and it did not make any difference.

I thought P90DL v3 cars max out at 510 to 512 kw.

 

[fiksegts]

there have been some peaks in that range, I'm just posting what I have from that V3 TRC car....

I understand. What I am trying to suggest is that there maybe some P90DL v3 that is faster than TRC's v3, given TRC's power output is only at 499 kw, rather than 512 kw.

 

[Btr_ftw]

haha, no way. Those 1000 hp+ modified GT-R runs like 8 second quarter mile. We need the Tesla strapped to a rocket to win

A large drive unit up front and a larger pack will do the trick.

I see the Tesla crossed the end well ahead of the Hellcat so why did the Hellcat show a lower 10.6 time vs the Tesla 10.8?

Maybe they time it when you are off the line? That way people who get a head start doesn't get a better time. That would be my guess.

 

[NSX1992]

The Tesla had a better reaction time. Elapsed time starts when the car hits the first beam and ignores reaction time.

I suspected that but Tesla appeared to be so much ahead at the end that I wondered if something else was going on. How far is the first beam from the start?
