1/4 mile

[Demi]

Ive been thinking about my shift points and im shifting way too late according to the dynos ive seen of this car. Seem to be no point to shifting past 5500. Im gonna give that a try. Wont that put me in sixth gear by the end of the track?

No, you should still be in 5th. Man that would really suck! Imagine having to do 6 gear changes for the 1/4 It's bad enough we must do 5

Hitting 6th gear would be nice, Just imnagine the MPH.
Hahaha lol.

Yeah thats why we need a 1/2 mile track here. The MS3 really starts to shine after 100mph. Surprised more than one Boxster out there on the autobahn.

 

[MS3077]

Yeah the MS3 is better suited for 1/2 mile

I wonder what the top speed would be after a 1/2 mile? we'd need like a mile runout after that though to slow down safely without wearing too much on brakes and stuff.

Now, does flat-foot shifting (keep foot on gas while shifting I assume) damage anything?

Tried it for the first time today and got the traction light to go on into 3rd.(drive)

Probably not but you'll be more prone to mis shift which over time could potentially cause damage.

i'll be honest; i'll never do it...i just don't feel it's that important to practice such a thing, that's all.

i do, however, think it's important to figure out what combo i can run here in order to get drag radials on w/o messing with effective gear ratio changes too much...

wow good for you guys ... i went stock for the first time ever and ran 15.1 @ 94 mph. Looks like I need more practice def takes some more concentration ... it was the balls so much fun I will keep practicing!!! However... I wasn't interested in flat shifting. I also noticed shifting to 5th was a bummer)

DSC off and tried launching at 2500- 2900 ish best 60' was 2.3

I ran 14.4 the first time i ever went to a track on WORE out stock rubber. I just put 225/40/18 Nitto NT555s on the front this morning! Second doesnt break loose anymore. I plan to feather the launch, 3/4 throttle 1st, short shift 1st around 4500, not quite flat foot into second, (just enough not to bog during the shift) and flat foot the rest. Mods are Injen intake, 88 motor mount, HKS Bov, Corksport DP and exhaust, and allumin shift bushings, oh and my Euro Liscense plate which adds 200hp. I will post my track times tomorrow night when i get back! Wish me luck.

You should be in the mid 13's easy

 

[zim]

for sure, I could almost bet on it

 

[Demi]

Well sad news, they were doing some sort of special closed event at the track. . I have to wait until next Saturday.
