If I was at say Santa Pod, 1/4mile would have been 10.65 secs, at 126.66mph.

Cracking time! Can you please confirm for Speedmachine that that time is the actual 0-60 and not the US "not really a 0-60 time at all because it includes a 1ft roll out"?

Hahahahaha, definitely a 0-60, none of the nonsense ‘let’s take a run up’ 5-60mph!!

I will improve, it had a full tank of juice, 3pm in the hot afternoon and loads of wheel spin.

Not bad for a manual.

Excellent, a proper British time then! I think you have laid down the gauntlet for the rest of us now, especially AlanP with his Dragy and fancy Sadev gearbox...

We have a misunderstanding, I just told dragy does NOT measure 1ft rollout.

2.92 is really really fast, I start in 2nd to get the best time, best is 3.5.
I have either a lot of wheelspin or a proper dip, so I know there is a big gain to find, but I can’t manage to do quicker😬

2nd gear start?
I think the power upgrade also puts in a lot of extra oemph on the end of the rev range👍


Oh I measure 0-100 thats, 60 miles is just 96km/u so that’s a bit different too
I guess I need to get some hot tyres and try again...

Edit: just checked, if I put the dragy on mph my best time is 3.39 sec.

Pretty curious to see what times other non R’s get

Yeh, 2nd gear launch, but it spins massively.
So I know I can improve on it, it’s just trying to get the balance right. Anything that hits 10 secs 1/4 mile is fast.

I’d say mid 3’s are ‘real’ figures tbh. Best runs I had at Kop Hill and various traffic light GP’s against bikes were all in 2nd gear.

Apparently an M5 can hit 60 in 2.87s.

GPS racing ;D

Trust me, the Atom will do sub 3, not sure what went wrong with the M5. My RS3 is exactly as spec, 3.6/3.8, every time. So easy, launch control, auto, 4WD (a tad boring).

The Atom just spins in 2nd. With a perfect launch (probably means less air in tyres, and a set of slicks), even the manual will do 2.5, I’m sure of it.

Today did a 3.00 on a slight uphill, 2.91 on a downhill and 6.57 0-100 where I was off the throttle at the end (obviously theoretical that one...). All on another hot day and its really hard to find a flat empty road.
I'm definitely leaving the upshift too late you can see that on the graphs.
Makes you appreciate the effort that goes into setting a good time.
No times for A4s yet?

It is very difficult to get the time ‘valid’. I did a couple of cracking times, but invalid. I haven’t set a 0-100mph, but do have an 1/8 mile, 6.8 to 104mph. 10.65 sec 1/4 mile (which is a super quick car with no launch control, traction control etc). Your times are very good too.
I would imagine the A4’s are easier to launch, more rubber, more weight etc. Will be interesting at Bedford. I have very good tyres this time. So ‘Old Bill’ won’t be able to live with me. Not sure about the other heroes
