First 1/4 mile time slip for P3D? 1.84 60 foot times

[kingtizzy007]

I'm shocked the 60' time isn't better. 1.8's are pretty bad and on par with much slower cars. Must be the software, limiting down low and opening up through the 1/8th.

From what I’ve seen and read 1.8 60’ times are right in line for our cars. My first two runs seemed to bear that out as well. My best 11.734 run was in the 1.86/7 territory. And it didn’t feel slow to me. But you’re saying that’s slow?? What is the best 60’ time you’ve seen recorded on a P3D?

dont waste time and money doing track runs, or posting on Dragy, if you are not doing under optimal. or at least controlled, conditions. Get the crap out of your car, including pax

Yeah, I agree in general but I doubt a skinny kid is responsible for a lousy 2.50 60’ foot and a 12.7 1/4 time especially when I had a passenger in as well on the previous run and still did 11.98. It’s all about having fun. Other than us, car was empty. Next week, I hope to get there early and do more than 3 runs.

My 2001 Corvette did 1.7's, before the supercharger and no way I'd think it was as quick as a P3D off the line.

This guy did 1.778 in 60’.

Of course he removed his back seats so that probably helped.

Difference btw Deep and shallow staging can make a difference of .1 on 60' times.

Haha, yeah I watch his videos and saw that. As for me, I’m not removing rear seats or putting on lighter weight wheels. If all the car can do is 11.7’s, I’m more than happy with that. There is more power to be unlocked for our cars I feel, Elon just needs to flip the switch. Will that happen? Doubt it.

Looks like you will need a roll bar with 11.4.

No, if it's factory, you do not need a rollbar until 9.99, which is highly unlikely in a Model 3.

So, just got home from my first time ever racing. Great night but bitter ending.

Race 1: 11.73
Race 2: 11.98 (With cargo - Passenger)
Race 3: 12.73 (With cargo - Passenger)

The last one left a bitter taste in my mouth because on launch the car was incredibly sluggish. 60’ was a miserable 2.50! I’m not sure what caused it.

Here’s what led up to that final race. The car was sitting for a good hour with front windows all the way down while the bracket racers were doing their thing. I doubt the car sitting with two front windows down had an impact. I was carrying a passenger on the final run. I noticed after the race dude didn’t have his seatbelt on. Could this have impacted the way the car ran?!?! Again, I don’t think so. Bad luck and timing? Maybe?!?! Something serious went wrong? Maybe?!?! I really don’t know the answer. It was still tons of fun and I plan on going back next weekend to try again..

weird, as at many tracks, if you're expected to run under 14s, you're not allowed a passenger.

From a few weeks ago, in Epping, NH.

I'm going again on the 21st. Car details in sig:

good to know. i was sorta kidding as there is no really good way to put a roll bar in a 3. at least that i can imagine.

Since running at the track and doing over 10 runs in total, I began to wonder if there was a way to figure out what my 0-60 times were on those runs from the data on the time slip and I ran across this website. I don’t know if the formula is accurate or close to it but based on 60’ & 1/8th times, this calculator says one of my 11.7 times results in a 3.02 0-60!!

Cool. Mine says 3.00. I think it may be erroring in favor of lower numbers.

At 1:21 they show the time slip. Two P3Ds, 11.7 and 11.8. 60 foot times 1.84 and 1.85. Talk about consistent, and likely easy to replicate. People will figure out how to get these to launch a little harder, we will end up seeing 11.5s out of the P3D and before it's over someone will end up with a 10.99 with mods.

Two words. Stickers and NOS hahah

a way to figure out what my 0-60 times

get Dragy -- it's so easy https://www.amazon.com/dragy-10Hz-B...eywords=dragy&qid=1566654930&s=gateway&sr=8-2

I think someone got a 3.1 recently. Think it was Erik, the YouTuber. He may have done something to lighten up the car though. This website was the closest thing I could find to measuring a 0-60 from a track run based on the data you get from them.

I have heard of them, will look into getting one the next time I head out to the track. You just mount the thing to your windshield I guess..

 

[bhzmark]

On Dragy a bunch of M3Ps get 0-60 3.3x true and 3.1-3.0x /w 1 ft rollout.

It seems pretty consistent with a large cluster of data points there. People getting significantly slower are probably at lower SOCs or have a bunch of heavy junk in their trunk or otherwise non ideal conditions.

Pretty cool. The SC closest to my track is about 8 miles. I normally arrive with 95-96% SoC and nothing in my car generally speaking. My goal is to improve my 60’ times.

 

[bhzmark]

Best M3P 1/4 mile on Dragy is 11.59 with 1.84 60 ft

But that is an outlier. Most are around 11.7x and also 1.8x 60 ft.

 

[ModelNforNerd]

I went about a month ago in NH. My 60' times were all between 1.83 and 1.88s.


best 1/4 mi: 11.712s
