Dragy times for Plaid and LR

[EndlessPlaid]

ya 157 would be bad ass! I think the only way that's going to happen is if there is a update that ramped on the full power faster then 70mph...

Agree. And I think that could happen when 200 mph is unlocked for the 21s. Maybe then we will see that 155 trap speed quotes from Tesla. That would be so sick!

This is with the covers on, not sure that matters I did not try taking them off.

I am now kinda wondering at what speed they detach themselves....

haha I was thinking the same thing!

 

[byeLT4]

Do we still think the Plaid is slowing itself when before it gets to the current governed speed? Anyone have a run on Dragy to 160?

 

[omarsultan]

Not 160, but here is my 1/4 mile run to 150:

Well I guess I will be finding out next Friday if Drag radials help at all on the track. I just installed the 19x8.5 T-Sport wheels I had on my Ravin with 275/40R19 Nitto Drags and they fit fine it seems.

 

[FastMatt]

If any body is wondering on the stock 19" wheel and tire weight there

FT w/o Cover 51.8lb
FT With Cover 53.4lb
Rear W/o cover 56lb
Rear with cover 57.6lb

T-sport 19x8.5 with 275/40r19 nitro drag 55.4 lb

Ok apparently, someone got a FREAKING 157 mph trap speed in a 19" car! Don't know if this was stock or not, but if it was, now we know where the 155 trap may come from. Just not with 9.23 it seems. After seeing this, I'm betting that after 200 mph is unlocked, we will see the 155 out of the 21" wheels. Seems like higher trap speed but lower ET may be the case for the 19s. Damn impressive if true.

EDIT: Most likely was a mistake; ET and trap speed do not correlate.

If it's in Colorado's thin air the trap would fit the ET.

Calling bs on the 157..but would be nice....would be something serious

we can only hope but that pass would be in the 8s I assume

Mine will run to 163

Street car takeover St. Louis event is at my local track tonight and tomorrow. Expect some incoming Plaid records.... I know of 2 that will be there in a very gutted state and at least one has a racing seat. We might see 8s!

I thought about racing myself but I'm not about to gut mine to compete in the classes they have...I wouldn't stand a chance.

Well that should put to rest the 19" Vs 21" debate .... I'm glad I got the 19's even if they are ulgy

Well, this is one (very good, very apples to apples) data point.

Even within this data point other possibly confounding variables are weight of drivers and the lane on the track and possibly car-to-car issues although this 21" car seems consistent with other 21" Plaids out there so I don't think it is an outlier in any sense.

The only 21" that have been faster than his 21" are gutted.

I think it's likely that it all comes down to rotational mass being the most important variable. Forged lightweight 21" wheels (including perhaps the 1st gen Arachnids which I think were significantly lighter) will be better. (But forged lightweight 19" will be even lighter than the 21" . . .)

Yeah possible. Maybe a slowish 60ft with a tail wind or thin air could explain slowish 9.3sec and very high trap.
Or just a defective timing device.

 

[xEvoLveDx]

absolutely not correct. Stock weight stock 21" plaids have beaten his times and beaten all of his 19" times.

Exactly. Didn't someone on this thread get a 5.97 1/8 mile with the 21s?

Did a hit on the way home from work now . 21inch wheels .
