Tom, I agree with you in reference to the car having 9's in it. Things will line up shortly. It's always hit and miss and the weather is getting warmer....great run!

Jeff

 

amen to that. Meth works so darn well in our cars

 

Do you have meth and intercoolers?

Jeff

 

Intercoolers yes but no meth.

 

I don't see any times listed in the video, but I ran 10.2 @ 135 MPH in my MP4-12C Coupe and 10.3 @ 137.4 MPH in my 650S Spyder.... both cars were stock

everyone has a bad run here and there, but overall, the 991 isn't "destroying" the McLaren..... unless it's that one running nitrous...

I'll be happy with a 10.4 @ 132+ MPH in a 991 turbo with a tune, hope to find a car soon...

are there any flex fuel tunes? I thought I saw a video of a 991 running a mix of regular gas and E85?

 

I see your results on Dragtimes. It says AMS tune and Nitto drag radials. Great results even if not stock.

Right now there are no E85 tunes yet in the direct injection 997.2 turbo or 991 turbo. That would require a completely new fueling system I believe.

I have never had a McLaren 12C even get close to me in a race from a dig. But maybe you're a better driver or maybe the AMS tune and drag radials makes a huge difference. Or all three most likely.

 

that was a different run....

ran 10.1 @ 138 MPH with the AMS tune and drag radials....

10.2 @ 135.5 MPH stock (no tune) on R888 tires....

10.5 @ 134.5 MPH stock as it came from the factory on original Pirelli tires

http://www.dragtimes.com/McLaren-MP4...lip-25287.html

the 650S did 10.3 @ 137.4 MPH all stock with OEM tires... 0-60 MPH was 2.6 seconds...

thanks for the info on the E85.... sorry for derailing this thread with the McLaren comment!

 

If I'm not mistaken, there isn't an e85 tune but I think longboader posted that he ran e85 and he felt it ran better. Again, I'm not sure...

 

I'm running the nitrous (9.71@143) and without it, was running 10.1.
However, with my current upgrades that are happening now, I suspect that I will run 9.5 without nitrous and with it, very low 9's. Of course, this is all speculation until I get it to the track and tuned..

Jeff

 

Wow - it will be awesome to see similar times in the US that they have been running in the Middle East for a while. Good luck!

Does anyone know the best time they ran on stock turbos? Did they break the 9s with stock turbos or upgraded ones?

Emre has been quiet. I wonderwhat he is up to.

 

Don't really know what he's up to. Trying to get faster more then likely. I still have plenty of options to get faster after the upgrade. We will see and would love to crack the 8's.

 

Great times

 

Tom, I test drove a new 570 Mclarin at PBIR, it is still not a DD. What i do not understand is the turbo lag is very noticeable. I liked the car ,but then i would not buy it.

 

Yes I run a mix of E on pump 91 gas on my 991. It has a GIAC tune only.

I took it to Shift Sector (1/2 mile dig race) on the same E mix and ran my buddy Nick's McLaren 650. I didn't think it was going to be close at all but Nick was calling me out (in a friendly way) before the event and even went so far as to call my 991 a "primaddonna" lol.

Unfortunately, and this is a big unfortunately...my GoPro battery had died and I couldn't get the carnage on video. Clean start and I left the Mac like it was standing still. Could barely see the Mac when I turned to look to see how far back it was at the finish line. The driver gave it it's all, but the Mac is just no competition in the real world - on the street or runway with a less than optimal surface.

Now on a prepped drag strip surface maybe the Mac will hook up but that's all it's got on us.

 

The launch on the TTS is just so brutal. When these other cars get into their power bands, the turbo S is gone!
Its to hard to make up ground when you run out of real estate. At 160/170's it goes by quick!
