Drag Racing Videos (My RX8)
Had the g/f at Atco today, had her take some movies...
I still haven't learned launching, and I tend to miss getting into gears. Also, I don't adjust the tire pressure, leave the spare, and seats in there, and had 3/4 gas... so yea..
(YouTube takes a little while for em to upload), but here is my best run of the day....
13.9 @ 103mph. Other lane is a Mustang GT, ran a 13.6

2nd one, I miss 3rd gear, but it sounds cool....

I'll do the other laters,

It usually holdes around 9.5
I think with more practice, the seats/spare out, less gas.. I could reach low 13's... I haven't even bothered adjusting my boost settings.

Any modifications to your car or is it all stock? Thanks for the vids. Looks like fun.
Mr. Good Job gets pretty tedious--like a broken record. Who even knows if he has an 8?

I've never taken my car to the track. but is that all a turbo'd 8 can pull? I just assumed that a 8 with 250-270whp could pull mid to low 13's. Cool vids none the less.

Back when Adrian had his boosted 8 he ran a 12.9
Thats with the greddy turbo + interceptor. He also was only dynoing about 270whp at that time (i believe).
So yeah - 12s with a turbo'd 8 and a good driver is very possible

All the effort/money spent adding a turbocharger and all its ancilary headaches, and you pulled a best of 13.9? I'm not hating, just wondering why you would even bother running it without complete tuning and more tree practice in some other car.

I know he said he's not an expert. I, for one, would think if you're a novice track-goer, there are better cars to learn launch techniques in than a base-tuned aftermarket turbo-equipped rotary. Somethings going to give there.
Or forget reaction time altogether and just focus on et. Let the light go, raise the revs and go. Timing doesn't start til you cross the line.
