Rev’s 1KRPM to the limiter in 3rd Fred

Post by mik »

Gah! 🤬

Despite the fact the TPMS system decided this evening that I simultaneously had a pressure problem AND 4 correctly inflated tyres, I realised my driveway might just be long enough for this challenge.

Unfortunately the bend leading to public roads was fast approaching as I pawed at the limiter, so the noise immediately after that is of my bag of shopping deciding that the passenger side footwell looked more attractive than the seat. :x

And it gets as blurry as a bastard too. :?

So I reckon my 1KRPMTRIT time is somewhere around the 11 second mark :?:

And watching this verifies arse-dyno measured improvements to the 60-100 time with the 2bular manifolds fitted. More like 5.1 than the 5.7 I recorded when I got the car.

i thought the 60-100 rules were supposed to be from a steady 60?

It is. They are. Erm.

But the supercharged v6 has epic throttle response. I have added 0.1secs to the time in the 60-100 thread in an attempt to placate the system purists.....

Nice and linear, with a top end fizz for the last 1000 or so rpm. Noice 😎

Perhaps, but that's not what Mik's thread title promised.

I wonder what something like a Senna or 720S would do here? Would be great to see a vid from an owner.

Sad to see the Tippex has impacted on the TPMS :cry:

Looks punchy - almost identical gains to me which is good to hear!

I'd do it meself but I can't think of a piece of road where I can get a safe rolling start, be fairly level and safely get through the rev range around here :?

I can’t do it in either of my correctly engines cars due to auto gearbox failure :(

The Land Rover, well no-one has enough time for that.

The TT, possibly but it needs 2500rpm to make any kind of headway. Man was not meant to meddle etc etc

Yeah some of you are going to need the Bonneville Salt Flats to do this, but I would spur you on with this....
