OK, VRAlex run was a 60-80 mph not a 60-140mph, can I get all my rep power points back please? Someone did not like the correction I made it seems.

 

Jean, can you repost the corrected compairison chart?

 

Zippy, not sure I understand, what comparison chart? What I meant above was that soenone did not like that Alex times were 60-140mph and not 60-130mph, and I received a neg rep power because I mentioned it.. Nothing has changed in the data charted..
Not that it matters at all, but it is just so silly.

 

Sorry Jean... I'm still stunned by the other thread where you compiled the 60-130 [edit 60 - 140] data from various cars, including VRAlex's awsome run.

 

No Problem Zippy . These are all 60-140mph times in this graph here.
Did you get a chance to test yours yet?

 

Yes, I've spent a fair bit of time with the unit and getting a handle on the software - mostly in my Suburban, as it's standard tranny and easier to goof around with to learn. I dropped the AX22 off at Ben's (BigBadBen) in Kelowna yesterday. I'm very interested to see how he runs with the GT700 and taller gears. - Hopefully he'll at least post a time here!

 

BBB should be some of the best times out there,
I believe this transmission mod (gear changes) is the best thing
for the car and I hope to do so if I can find the "means"

anxious to hear BBB times!!

Thanks to Jean for lending me his AX-22. Here my 490 HP Ruf Turbo R 993:

60 to 130 = 9.1 seconds.

It looks the same as a stage 4 996 TT that was published here. This confirms what I've seen when racing Stage 4s.

BTW, the Ruf 590 HP GT2 is much faster than the AX-22 chart above shows. The driver shifted way before redline.

 

When you do these runs are you accelerating hard thru first and second on your way to 60mph?

 

Cool info!

Anything less than 10 seconds is very fast,

No, and you don't need to. I accelerate lightly in 1st and 2nd then floor it in 3rd around 40 MPH so there's no turbo lag when I hit 60.

Some cars may have faster 60 to 130 if you start in 2nd. That's something you'll need to try. The extra shift time might be overcome by the faster acceleration, depending on your gearing. For most 993 and 996 TTs, it's faster to start in 3rd.

 

I think Im going to try mine with a stop watch. Not very accurate but it will be interesting. Now I just have to talk my GF into it

 

Or you could video tape the run and pull the time of the camera...Where are you located..maybe one of us can FedEx you the unit to try out??

 

Alex, what do you think is the best measure (mph pull wise) to how much power a car has, or can it not be determined so well from like a 60-140 pull?

I cant wait to test mine out, 60-140 and the runs you guys have. My 40-100 seems worthless but it took 5 sec's . I actually did a 40-140 mph run in about 13 seconds without my vflow and other upgrades!

 

Im in Flagstaff AZ. Not too far from vegas. It would be great to borrow one!

Alex, If you ever come thru Flag let me know, Ill take you out for a ride in my beast! JK. Maybe I could go for a ride in yours though
