My 12.2 1/4 run video

Tonymiabmw · 12-08-2014, 01:22 PM

I went to the drag strip for the first time in 7 years for a test and tune night at PBIR. I took my first run after letting the car sit for to long. The computer cut power to the car because of transmission temperature(being to cold I'm guessing) . I used launch control (which didn't work to well with a poorly peeped track) second run I feathered the throttle on launch and shifted manually with DCT it Yielded a 12.7. Third run a friend gave me some pointers including leaving the car in auto mode. Which yielded a 12.2. My reaction time wasn't great but next time I'm sure I can run 11s no problem. Car has full Active Autowerkes exhaust including Downpipe.

Nice one Tony. Cheers for posting, lovely sound.

More caffeine for the start next time.

Yeah for sure! may have a JB4 as well

Great run.

farbmw · 12-08-2014, 02:22 PM

LOVING THE SOUND!! And yeah I just notice the time slip, good stuff, icing on the cake!

Nice sound and YBM looks lovely in the dark (and under spotlights).

Boss330 · 12-08-2014, 03:26 PM

Impressive trap speed! Possibly due to gains from downpipe and exhaust?

Yes exhaust and midpipe yield 20hp 20tq alone. With Downpipe not sure yet HP gain.

120 mph+ in DCT auto mode. Might be a record

, nice run! The trap speed is the same as the better stock traps, so you should likely be able to squeeze another mph out of it due to the exhaust mods but man that's a good run.

Car knew exactly what RPM to shift at. I have not driven this car once in DCT auto since I got it. I only drive daily in manual.

Seems like it mimics the launch control very well, since they aren't any faster which is a bit strange unless you power braked it? Or maybe it helps to start from idle since any rpm in 1st will lead to wheel spin off the line...

Yeah power brake, launch control was great when I did it on the street a few times. It was horrible at the track though? The tracked was prepped poorly or maybe I need to experiment with launch control. A friend was there and he runs a 1800hp GTR and also had his f80 there as well. Gave me some tips and I listened to what he told me and did 12.2 I was happy with that time. My reaction and 60' could be much better. It was 11:30 pm and I was tired.

Did you use MDM?

I believe so, I had all the M button on. I think maybe using sport throttle instead of sport plus may yield less wheel spin. Givin that the throttle response is less jerky.

CanAutM3 · 12-08-2014, 03:52 PM

Fantastic trap speed

Are you also running a tune, or is it just the exhaust?

Well, you should feel good about that launch if you beat LC which is pretty much doing the same thing with auto shifts and MDM style TC. Not sure if LC loads up the drive train though like power braking does, probably not?

Just exhaust, we got 20hp 20tq out of just Mid and Axleback. The single 3.5 mid really does wonders for the sound and flow of the turbos. The car has DPs but I don't have dyno from that yet.

Power braking you can load up to like 1500rpm. LC is like 3000rpm. LC would work great with stickier tires or better peeped track.

Agreed, I'm just not sure if LC apply some brakes to pre-tension the drive train to some degree, I.e power brakes some but I don't think so. 1500 rpm is likely quite optimal with this car as your run validates, and you get that releasing coil effect off the line due to the tension built with power braking
