Looking at the old "fastest laps" times, they acceleration from a standstill is in the supercar league but then you check some of the lap times and think - hmmm...
A few cars that beat it around various circuits include:
BMW 330i (Contidrom), Fiat Panda 100HP (Autocar Wet Handling track), Audi TT-S ROADSTER (Balocco), BMW 1M (Killarney), Scooby STI (Inta), Mini Cooper S (Ring Knutstrop) proving that to drive a car properly one must remember to take the GHDs out of ones right hand, remove the Nicky Clarke handbag from ones left and use less than 50kg of hair products.
A few on that list would get walloped by my soot chucking hearse despite it's almost 4s to 100 slower time.

No, probably not, but the other 2 might? My car only has a lowly 425bhp and is not strong enough to enter a competition with 9-10sec 1/4 Jap machinery. The guys that have modified their TTRS's to 650hp would be better suited for that. My car is practically standard.

It appears that sometimes the M3 wins, sometimes the TTRS wins. I'd say they are similarly matched. It's just one has a low rent five pot engine, the other has a V8 with a soundtrack straight from the heavens.

Are you for real? CPS to judge: well we now have a email address, screenshot and have tracked a guy down. It must of been him driving, it must be his car, he must of been speeding on a public road. Judge dies of laughter.
You'll have to forgive me, but I thought Crail was a pop up temp drag venue? Ie timing gear gets set up on that morning, venue gets used for all other things such as car boot sales etc. I have never been, but that was my impression. Happy to be proven wrong. A far cry from an FIA approved drag venue certainly.
I haven't seen any evidence for a claimed 9.0s 60-130mph yet, just 101 excuses and nonsense about how you will lose your shed and dog if you were to send anybody a vbox log

As to the police thing, are you for real? I have said it is my car and that I was driving it (You can screenshot this thread) You can do a google of my username and bring up all sorts of posts and stories. If someone can get jailed for 3yrs for posting something on facebook then I am sure as hell not going to incriminate myself no matter how insignificant you think it may be.
BMW M3 driver jailed for 5 months for 156mph...http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/2973149.stm
This guy posts on here... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2340269/.html
These are real prosecution cases, not make believe
Why would I post evidence of me doing over 100mph on a public British road? Are you for real expecting me to do that? Would you put your livelihood in my hands? With that file along with searching my history of posts you would be able to take that to some jobsworth copper and do something about it. That is precisely the reason why no vbox logs will ever be sent to strangers. They arent even on my hard drive, you just never know. Paranoid, nope, just playing safe. Of course I only race on the German autobahns and have nothing to worry about but you see my point
I havent used my vbox for donkeys now, this 30-130 screenshot shows 30-130 in 11.01 and your magical 60-130 in 9.13secs. (The exact same as the picture of my vbox display, who would have thought the 2 would tie up
)
I couldnt give a monkeys chuff if you believe it or not, you're a stranger on the internet and I do not need to prove myself to you. My videos are real, my timeslips are real, end of the matter.
As to Crail, its an MSA approved track, it runs slower than what my vbox tells me, infact, my vbox gave me a time of 11.2 for that run, damn, should have used that as of course vbox is the benchmark
The quickest GTR in Europe runs at Crail frequently. It's the only track we have in Scotland. Santapod is over 1000m away for me (round trip) Many find that when they go to Santapod for a run, they find the launch stickier and the ET's drop. If youre into drag racing yourself, you will know 1/10 on the 60ft is 2/10 at the other end. In other words its all about the launch. Crail is MSA approved just like York and Shakespeare are. Crail is a massive airfield not a dedicated 1/4m track, yes, I do believe there are occasional car boot sales and other events that get held in this big airfield.Timeslip..
Anyway, this is boring now, I'm sure most dont want me harping on about how good the TTRS is, so ill leave it at that.
It really is over and out this time, the beer is calling and its sad sitting yapping about cars on a Friday night.

I'm sorry I dont live next door to Santapod to run an even quicker time. The launch surface at Crail is pi*s poor. Ask anyone that has raced there.
It seems like sour grapes, you just dont want to believe a TTRS is so quick. It pi**es over a lot of cars, so what, who really cares? Go look on Youtube for all TTRS videos if you're a disbeliever.
It's people like you that make me love my TTRS even more. A genuine sleeper of a car, no one realises just how quick they are which makes it appealing to me. This is why you are annoyed, you seem to be pissed about how capable it is. Any car doing a 1/4m in 11.3 is supercar quick, end of story. What makes mine so special is, it's only had a remap, properly tune this car and 10sec 1/4's easy
Goodnight and goodbye.

TTRSTOOFAST4U, is your car DSG? If so I suppose a mixed blessing to strengthen it if you're trailblazing the high power path on this platform unless you can take parts from another high power version as well as appropriate tuning of the DSG ECU. Do you have solutions for fuel pump, direct injection and ECU including accurate air mass metering at the airflows you'll need? Lastly, uprated miscellaneous drivetrain parts?
All these issues have resulted in the R35 GTR needing a lot of research before it got into the 8s. Presumably you've also considered the aerodynamics and lift at 200+ mph.
Should be an interesting project. The advantages of the TTRS DSG with good launching and relatively good power to weight ratio vs cost in low states of tune will need to translate to high power applications to mix with the best.

DSG is quicker than manual in a straigh line thats for sure. However double clutch transmissions are for pussies. I change my own gears, im a man.
Manuals launch harder anyway till its time to change gear
Fuel pumps, FSI injectors, already developed.
Not concerned about lift at 200mph either, a few TTRS have hit those speeds already.

Already made 680hp. Going next size up on the turbo and changing design to make flow even more efficient

Actually guys I was not remotely taking the mickey, I'm sure if he knows what he is doing this will all be in hand, but they are all issues faced on the conceptually similar GTR, except I think the German ECUs will be more of a challenge to play nicely as they don't tend to get as rewritten as the Japanese ECUs.
These issues on the GTR took many different people in different countries working from different angles to put it all together to get something that delivers the power, drives properly and holds together.
If the 2.5 block is strong that is a good start compared to a Subaru, but there is a lot more than that to get a car like this properly quick and not have it overwhelmed by driveability or reliability problems.

GTRs had issues with getting too hot and leaning out too much on vmax runs iirc? Not a issue for my car

Jura, Santapod is over 1000m there and back for me. I'm in the NE of Scotland. I run at Crail raceway in Fife, an approved recognised dragstrip, only 1 of 4 in the UK.
I would like to run at SP because there is a much superior launch surface. You know what they say, 1/10 saved off 60ft = 2/10 at finish line. I am convinced I will launch better at SP as the surface at Crail is poor. I plan on a trip sometime next year.
Ill bow out of this thread now as its just going the same way every other TTRS thread goes on here.
Have a good weekend folks, I'm away to get pissed.

That's far agreed on that
We're never tried Airfield drag runs and we can't compare runs,but deffo is on our list to try this next year and compare runs
On drag strip(like Santa Pod) we are suffer with no grip few times when outside has been low temps(10*C and less)

Its called a job.
Something you jeremy kyle contestants havent grasped an understanding of yet. Its the taxes off my back which allows you to sit at home all day drinking white lightning, and dreamin up how you can mount more neons underneath your chav machine
