What should I expect
The misses has decided she wants to run the 1/4 mile in 4 weeks time at santapod. Now I no it's been done and said many times about what time should she expect but what do you think?
Full spec is V2 sti no weight reduction 2.3 cdb Sc46 billet 900cc injectors Rotated manifold Gt spec headers Sti 6 speed R180 diff Carbonetic twin plate clutch. Running 497bhp & 520ftlb Ect ect. I know people's times will vary according to driver but she is pretty good behind the wheel Thanks |
Spec is awesome,sounds like a very fast car,the short sti box won't be the best on the 1/4 mile but I would guess 11.24s :)
What time are you hoping for? |

Would of loved to have come racing but my car needs a little work before I dare take it onto a track,it's my daily so have to be careful(ish) until I get a few things sorted.
I'll probably take it for a gentle run down the York strip for my 1st run as it's fairly local. I've always fancied going to santapod tho even if it's just as a spectator,so if I'm not working and the missus wants a day out then I might just have a trip down there :thumb: |

Anymore idea on times?
|
Drag times are so unpredictable way to many variables. Bogging down on the line missing a gear. Track conditions weather conditions but if I was going to have a guess I would say mid 12,s.. I think the car could run faster but if its your first time having a go that's my guess
I will see on the day anyway as I will be there. Not sure if im going to run though. |
My first go in my 320 six speed V2 RA had me doing 13.10 best, theres a lot more to this 1/4 mile lark than meets the eye. This was with spare tyre, sandwiches and all the other crap that's been collected in the car. I expect to get in the 12's this year.
My biggest issue was missing third changing from second. You'll be in super car territory off the line, there isn't a lot that can keep up with a light weight Impreza off the mark. If it all holds together I think you should see -11 secs after some practice |

There's a good dragstrip thread on here somewhere with times and what specs the cars are,might even be some tips for novices.

I shall take a look not that it is going to be a regular thing mate just going to see what she can do 😊

Lovely car & fantastic spec.As has been said 1/4 mile is another kind of motoring skill all compressed into a very short space of time.
Good luck with it.BTW was that Slowboy Racing your car was at & did Neil help with the car? |

I have done a few but never managed better than 14 s
im just not harsh enough off the line. You have to be very mechanically insensitive to get decent times. I just cannot get my self to rev it to 6k then drop the clutch |
Mate had similar power in a lovely ra, but he was quite kind with the launch and did 11.6 secs, don't think his torque was as high. I think a lot of people (me included) don't change up soon enough, if you have a rolling road graph try to change up when you reach maximum torque probably around 5500 to 6500 rpm.

Anymore geusses before the day tommorow?
|
How did it go then? My guess 11.78 at 115mph :thumb:
|
,,,,
|
i wanna know :-/
|
Sorry for delay the Mrs ran a 12.7 @ 111mph reaction time of 1.9536 she says she knows she can do better so are going again in 4 weeks time. Also changing the wheels from 18s to 17s :)
|
reaction time isn't important unless you're racing the car in the other lane, basically sit there until you're ready, 60ft times are important, aim for around 1.7 sec, car has good momentum, then it's just a case of clean gear shifts to the line.

Well done to the missus,I'd be well happy with anything in the 12's :thumb:

Reaction time or 60ft time ??? As said, reaction time is meaningless. Just sit there until you're ready to go. The timer starts when you leave, not when the light goes green. |
