i thought he was closer to 600 with his EVO

 

the one with the aftermarket turbo was 554whp. This was a stock turbo.

 

i'm still faster.


i've GOT to go make a few more runs...make some corrections in my shifting and launches...i should be somewhere in the 15's.

twilight in austrailia ran a 15.4 in his n/a p5 over the weekend. bastard. he's put up the quickest time out of all the n/a p5's

 

ya, dont compete with someone halfway around the world ... the elevation at his track is going to be different, so that might account for his better times (somewhat), he's also most likely a hellova driver... just launch right at the brinking point of breaking the tires loose, without actually spinning'em, and if they do chirp just let off the gas a little bit and then get back on it as soon as you have full traction... and how i started practicing shifting faster, was just sitting in the driveway without the car running, and basically just pretending to race, then when i applied it to actual racing, i kinda took it easy at first, and gradually went faster and faster, on a 14-XX car shift speeds play a HUGE role, it could be the difference of a 15.5, or a 17.0, if the car is capable of it...


as far as the evo, i wouldn't dump it at redline, but being AWD it is just asking for hi revving launchs, the majority of EVO drivers i've talked to say they launch at 5-6 grand, and they are quite used to the smell of burning clutch in the morning ...

 

Chris, Twillight has also a fully ported and polished head and intake with custom cams, timing gears and no emissions....don't expect to keep up with that on a pull.

 

i can't have another n/a p5 faster than me...
