must have been a lot of wheelspin - I did a 14.5 with a 94.7mph trap speed. Your trap speed is high! Keep practising at it, and your times should drop significantly!!
Can't wait for a 9 degree C day down here in Sydney...
2002 MCS, standard apart from Pipercross panel filter.
0-60 7.5 secs, dry road (rare in UK!) 1.5 deg C temp. 1/2 tank Shell Optimax, 1 passenger and a fat assed driver...
Tested with Gtech device.
Edit: 17" S Spokes, Runflats. Fair bit of wheelspin. Gonna bin these tyres soon, I hate them!
Found a time-slip from a Swedish strip called "Tullinge"
Temp: about 20C
Best time-slip:
Reaction: 0,753s
60ft 2.395s
Speed 1/8 mile: 120.62km/h (74,95mph)
Time 1/8 mile: 9,713s
Time 1/4 mile: 14,887s
Speed 1/4 mile: 152.89 km/h / 95mph)
The grip was teribble, I have done 1/8 mile times of 9,3s on other tracks.
The best trap-speed of the day was 153,6km/h (95,44mph)
If I get the 60ft times better I think I can improve my time quite a bit
the car:
2003 mini Cooper S with a Kelleners Sport conversion (13% pulley, new software, new exhaust från the catalytic converter and back, pipercross intake)
i ran 14.80 sec @ 98 miles /hour.(santa pod) temp 9 C.
just 15% pulley/re map/ and typhoon induction kit.(214 bhp 192 lbs of torque ).
i am looking at getting a flowed head and high lift cam and your exhaust re-route pipe.
BUT... it seems that all those mods make little differance in the 1/4 mile times ????
i was hoping to do 14.00 sec @1/4 mile with new components.
Went to Santa Pod for the first time today in my early '05 build JCW MCS with pretty much all extras apart from a sunroof. Running on 17" S-Spokes with Dunlop runflats. Full tank of BP ultimate. Temperature was 16 deg C. Using an ecu map from late last year.
Just been out to try a few runs using my Gtech. Got a fantastic little bit of road nearby, about 1/3 mile long, dead straight, dead flat and always completely empty.
Standard 05 MCS with bullets, runflats. AC off, DSC off, 13degrees C, dry road. Just me in the car
4 runs.. (2 each way) 6.91, 6.68, 6.48, 6.61. Not too shabby!
On the same road in similar conditions, my old Golf GTI Turbo (mod'd 200hp) did 6.15 according to the Gtech, so the MINI aint far behind at all to 60!
The dragstrip doesn't include reaction time in your ET either. It's the amount of time from when you break the beams with your front tires at the start til you do the same at the end. You can sit at the line for 30 seconds and still run a 14 second ET.
as for the G-Tech depending on the version it may or maynot include Roll out which is a varring factor between the G-Tech and the strip. Also wheel spin, Violent shifts and suspension set ups will make loads a difference.
02 MCS DS/W (Totaled November 02 on Fall Folage Run)
03 MCS DS/W (See my MINI Profie for extensive list of mods)
