Cool, thanks for offering to help me.

Funny how some experienced racers think alike.


I see/read many threads in here regarding folk running this and that...many of them are the vendor cronies...you know who you are - comparing runs such as 10.33 vs. 10.35 tuned by this vendor or that vendor with these mods and blah blah blah...all it does is start keyboard fighting cronies. Usually, it stems from the folks. The s&%t makes me laugh.


I'm with you WhiteTT and KAWilson...my mindset is 9's or bust which is not easy to do no matter the platform. But here is my thinking/approach: I want to run 10.0's on stock P-tires, no meth, no race gas and stock turbos. Some of my local buddies think I'm crazy, but others are on board. I think it is possible with this 2016 TTS P-car.


However, I will need to choose my mods carefully...too many mods may produce great HP/TQ increases, but may be a waste if I can't hook on street tires, especially on the streets. I don't want to see myself needing to brake torque off the line (NO LC) because otherwise I will blow off the tires...tire spinning is no bueno for quick 1/8 and/or 1/4 ET's. In other words, sometimes less is more. Having more juice is great for those 1/2 mile - 1 mile events where the need to really hit out of the hole as hard as you can is not as essential. I am more of a drag racer.


I think those of you who are real drag-racers know what I mean and where I am coming from.


Thanks,
E-Gear

Any Idea what somebodys run with these mods and P-Zero's? I think around 10.35 or so.

A properly driven 8A Hellcat would obliterate an E92 M3 from a 40mph roll. Its an upper 120mph car multiple levels above a stock E92 M3.

The guy that focuses on dropping every 1/10th will beat the guy looking for big reductions simply by adding more HP every time once the HP is equal. Why? Because the guy that keeps his car cooler before a run, the guy that swapped to a tire that weighs 8lbs less per wheel, run his fuel down to the bare minimum before CEL light, and took out any extra/un-needed items in the car will have a mechanical advantage worth that .2 seconds and 2mph too.. because he counted those 1/10's
His 9.99 is your 10.19.. and that is what separates racers from enthusiasts

Anyway Nigel your car has the power To break into the nines this weekend good luck.
