Scott, and Bad your reaction times are really good. blacks was 1.5 seconds better.
Nice 60fts too.. anything under 1.8 is really good. That explains the really good 1/4 times.

I dought a RWD car can duplicate all 3 of your times unless they run slicks.

If there was a way to adjust LC or even power break rev higher, all 3 of your times would be way lower. 1.5 60fts all day.

Still stomped on MPH. Blacks should be in the 122+ range Scotts and Arcs I would imagine with the power should be 118ish.

I feel like our cars are really flat after 5k rpms. I know arcs car at least dips down 40hp after 5200rpms. Same with mine.

Im curious to see what Scott and Black's Dynos are. Not really peak numbers just the curve itself.

Im very happy we have a small group of us doing this type of shit. This is how aftermarket companys start their interest with us.

Good shit guys.

Were you boggin like arcs car?

I think 3k power break isn't enough for a awd car.
I know with my rwd cobra on slicks if i dumped the clutch under 4k i would bog.
Same with my friends STI he would have to dump it at 5k+ to achive 1.6 60fts. if not his car would like BOOGGG to hell.

Archs car 113 mph is really low, but makes sense after looking at his dyno. his car never sees 441hp. only the 1st 60ft lol.. After that car shifts . revs drop to his 400 range.
Scott yours is good imo. I know your like mainly stock too.. but you were running 100 octane right? .. idk call me crazy but I think you should be 119+ .. your car has to bemaking over 450hp.
116 isn't bad by any means.

congrats guys, 93 and walking a gtr is no small feat!! great numbers. you were on stage 2 right? did you run race gas at the track? Ah im itching to get my 550!!

My best R/T was .125. See attached. RWD with slicks will have trouble making the same times I think, unless it has LSD also.
You're not going to be able to adjust launch control I'm willing to bet. Black should not be hitting 122 MPH... these cars are not aerodynamic, AND they weigh 4700 lbs w/ us in them, coupled with the fact they they don't make power to redline like the S63 does, or the S6/RS6 4.0L TT or CLS/E AMG 5.5 BiTurbos.

Re: dyno, I'll go in a few weeks when time permits. I think the curves will be better than TU and I am expecting 450 AWHP and 500 AWTRQ on race, +/- 2-3%.

My best launches were at around 2700. Anything lower was slower, and anything higher bogged a bit or so it felt. I was running a 50/50 blend of race gas and 93. If I had straight race and upped the boost, and I had a 1.70 or better 60 ft. I'd be in the 11's in the high 117 MPH range, with just tune and mufflers (which just sound pretty).

At this power level, I would hit 119 MPH and 11.9s easily, if we had the PDK like in the Porsche Panamera that launches at 4500 properly and shifts like a rocket. S6 has it too.

me vs scott135i camera car is me

Damn Black. Your car is clearly making a few HP/TQ more than Scotts looking at that video. You are just slowly walking away even after you launch.

How high are you guys brake tq launching your cars at? I know the LCI's with launch control is limited to around 2K i believe. I wonder if Aradonic550 would get slightly better results without using LC but launching higher (manually) assuming the car lets you.

He did, his best times was w/out LC.
Strange. LC was making him bog of the line.

[badblack550xi]

We smoked so many cars that people asked wtf we have in our cars hahaah.

Dyno time?

Yea! do it.

Glad you broke into the 11s.
I was hoping to break 120mph on racefuel of course.

I'll be re-dynoing my car in a few weeks after my new 3" exhaust is in. What sucks is that I am the only RWD 550 here so my dyno results won't be apples to apples even if we all went to the same place to do our pulls. Either way we should all still meet up for a dyno day.

I hit 119 a few times, car didn't get enough runs to adjust to the more aggressive settings.

Yea - his car is definitely making some more power...I recon 10-15 hp/trq to the wheels... also, his car is smoother so I am assuming his power curve is also better which helps more than peak numbers.

[badblack550xi]

rematch between me and scott135i

[badblack550xi]

[badblack550xi]

Me vs Aradonic

LOL was Aradonic finishing up a text/coffee at the light?
