Lakeside Laps V18 - 4 August 2013

[Deezy]

I should have a free seat as I'll be coming alone. Let me know if anyone wants it.
P.S. Long story short, I'm editing a bit of footage from one of those new fandangled gopro contaptions so if anyone has some footage they wanna share and have thrown together in a shortish clip (3:30 - 4 minutes) PM me.

Catch ya at the track!

Is that the R8 I smoked at Test n Tune?

[Wolfman101]

Maybe? I don't remember running against a golf r. I ran high 12s.

Side note on your sig, if you are running 13.5 in the 1/4 it's unlikely you are sub 5 to 60. Have you timed it?

There was an R8 that I expected to be faster, but I beat him with my 13.5. Not sure why. Obviously the R8 is a lot quicker, as you've pointed out, being in the 12's. With regard to my 0-100, yes, that's on a P3 gauge on level ground. During the actual Willowbank 1/4-mile, it has read 5.1.

[Wolfman101]

Could have been me. I ran a few mid 13s before I worked out how to launch. Pretty disappointed with a 12 9 thought-should be mid 12s. Oh well, my launches still weren't perfect. Common misconception that the r8 is supposed to be devastating in the quarter... It is really a track car, biased toward handling. They run similar lap times to the Carrera 4s.
Obviously they fixed the grunt a bit with the v10, but the handling suffered a bit.
Surprising on the 0-100...especially on a turbo, where I would expect the power to come later. I would think it would be quicker in the 1/4. I've not timed this one to 60, but should be between 4.0 and 4.6.
My '55 runs 4.5 and my srt6 ran 4.3...so as long as it's a a fast as that I'll be happy.

The link to my build thread is in my signature, if you're interested. Complete with dyno graphs, etc.
Would like to see you out at sprints in your R8. Perhaps a general practice session at Lakeside or QR?

[Wolfman101]

For sure. I get out as much as I can.

I got the video on my phone of you and the R8.
I'll upload the link tonight.

[Wolfman101]

Be interested to see, it may be me.

Keen to see that R8, looks mean
