My first 1/4mile in my ms6!

[Blendercloud]

Doesn't matter. MS6 isn't losing more than 19% of drivetrain loss. The Type S loses about 15% since they put down about 170-171whp.

MS6 is 274hp x .19%=52
274-52= 222awhp,
basically what a stock MS6 put's down to the wheels. So on average a MS6 loses about 19% of drivetrain loss

RSX Type S is 201hp x 15%=30
201-30= 171whp,
Basically what i just said.

Physics don't lie. Now I'm not even going to remotely get into the fact about torque and AWD>FWD....

It will take a I/RH/E/K-pro RSX Type S to even hang with a stock MS6 from a roll or maybe even pull on the MS6 by a little.

Trust me. MS6's trap around 98plus stock. Anything less and it's driver error, or elevation and humidity

The one simple calculation you did not factor into your argument is horsepower to weight ratio. I think to fully illustrate the point you're trying to make you would have to also state each car's horsepower per pound.

It's good to see people working together to help a fellow member get better at the track. It's so much easier for the community when these don't turn into flame wars.

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

if u turn ur car off the dsc will turn back on, turn it off if you want to launch your car hard

 

[ms6acton]

that's impossible because with the dsc off i am able to fishtail down the road on a rainy day and i dont see any lights flashing at all...if i keep the dsc on it feels like my car is stalling and trying to hold back a lot of power in 1st and 2nd gear due to the traction control....just whatever you do from now on when you get in your car always turn off the dsc unless your driving in wet or snowy weather

theres a differnce between the 4wd light coming on and the light that comes on when you have wheel spin. one says 4wd the other has a car with treadmarks under it

lol wait im not a girl hahaha lol but anyways i know it was a low trap speed so gotta work on shiftn/driving better but a friend of mine has a rsx type-s he has i/h/mm/cbe/upgraded intake mani/k-pro tune and is puttin around 220 to the wheels and i beat em on a roll and his best time is a 14.3 @100 but ya the ms6 was my first standard actlly my first standard ive ever launched lol i was in shock how fast the gitty up lol very impressed i asked a friend of mine who has a 07 sti at 22psi and only had a 1.7 60' mine was a 1.8

Sorry, I taught Lynn is your name, that's why I taught you were a girl. lol

Tits or GTFO!

Still take it easy on the OP, she did mention that it was her first time and was looking for some help to get there. She did better than I did, my first run was 14.8 then i improved, best time is 13.8 and 103 at 95 degrees out.

(peep)Yeah i wasn't trying to come out harsh or anything! Just trying to help. haha

BTW: Nice time and trapspeed(rei)

haha....That's more like it. So you beat you're friend TypeS from a roll right. Means you should be trapping like around 101-102 since he traps 100. But yeah anyways practice the launch and always remember to turn off the DSC, like everyone else is saying.(drinks)

No pro, Yeah I didn't include hp per pound since they are basically stock.

I didn't also talk about the Torque difference 280-142(peep)and the fact AWD is better than FWD.

lol ya i know i wish i could change the name haha but its the name of the city im from lol thanks guys i think im going to wait for the dif brace then run again

How does turning off the DSC make the car faster? In the case where there isn't any traction loss or large change in revs on opposite side wheels...just curious...

Wish we had a manual selector for the three modes....stupid computers...

 

[Mistersix]

the dsc has thresholds that are just to low for aggresive launching. it has hampered my launches at the track a few times when i was experimenting with it on and off and i got better times, everytime, with it off.

but yeah good time, better than i did.
