chrislak Donating Members 400 Member For: 22y 29d Location: Sydney Posted 13/03/03 10:10 PM Share Posted 13/03/03 10:10 PM Last night a decided to give my 1500km auto T for a run to see how quick she is, After 3 runs the best time I could get was 14.63 with another friend in the car and a full tank of fuel.The brake fade after the third run was worry I had a very hard time pulling her up.I think less a friend and fuel should be able to sheer a couple of tenths of that, what do you guys and gals think.

I had 2 passengers in mine with a full tank and out of two runs my best time was 15.1 on the G Tech Pro. I need more practise with my take offs, I find that I do not give enough revs or even too much, I need more practise but the car is still too new to having more runs and getting better times. By the way I have a manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very important to estimate the car weight as accurate as possible, a very straight road is also required to get a accurate reading. at the end of the day it will give you an idea especially if your thinking about tweaking.
