That's the best run I've seen. Congratulations!
 
Well done, very impressive run.

Great to know how quick these cars really are with personal examples shared on the forum.

I was recently thinking about what is the cost to gain ratio for mods on these cars. I realize the benefit of adding something like exhaust is more for the ear than extreme performance; however, when it comes to adding a supercharger it would be interesting to see how much additional time is gained. Of course there are variables with track condition, temperatures, etc.

hmm not a great deal re: adding a supercharger ( around 10.1 ) but I would say a lot more fun :D
 
Please post times of stock ones not modified (as the topic says)
Yes, true but it doesn't say much for the mods benefits compared to bone stock.

It's hard to compare track to track. I agree it's not stellar but it does correct to 10.39 @ 132 if it were at sea level. I did a 10.72 at 2755 ft which corrects to 10.36 @ 133. Not bad for a fully optioned Huracan with the cast wheels.
 
People also need to state whether the times are with 1ft rollouts. That can make a huge difference to times.
Yes, it would but I'm reading these times as all dead stop. Roll outs are meaningless to me.

They are not meaningless to the thread. If someone is posting a 1/4 mile time with a 1ft rollout, they need to state it.

A 1ft rollout (i.e. not starting the stopwatch until the car has moved 1 foot off the line from a standing start) can knock up to half-a-second off the full 1/4 mile time. Some call it "cheating".
 
So what's the quickest reaction time?
For me it's hell pulling up to the tree, fumbling through launch mode, etc. These times are pretty quick but if you're in it for fun with someone lined up next to you, well...
 
Any acceleration times someone lists here taken from a drag strip would inherently be a 1 foot roll out especially if the person shallow stages. The timing lights are thus not triggered until approximately 1 ft from a dead stop. I consider the drag strip the gold standard. I haven't seen anyone state they have a 1 ft roll out if the time is accomplished at the strip. Conversely, if a person used an alternate timing device such as a racelogic performance box then there is an option to commence timing after 1 ft to closely approximate a time that could be achieved at the drag strip. In this case I would agree that stating a 1 ft roll out was used is useful information.
 
The reaction time is not configured in your 1/4 mile time. You could sit at the start line infinitely after the green light has flashed and the timer will not start until you trigger the the beam by moving. If you are lined up next to someone you're racing then then your reaction time becomes relevant since you want to give your car the best advantage at getting to the finish line first. A slower 1/4 mile time vehicle can win the race if that car gets off the line quicker without causing a red light disqualification and crossing the finish line first. A perfect light on NHRA tracks on a bracket tree is 0.500. On a pro tree it's 0.400. On IHRA tracks it's listed as 0.000.

I understand that reaction time is not configured in the time, but as you stated and what I was eluding to was if you have someone lined up next to you that precious time spent with launch control will probably end up costing you the race.

I merely would like to know reaction times and of course education on how to get up to the line with launch control to minimize the reaction time. To me reaction time is an important part of the run regardless if one is running solo.

Thanks!
 
fccorp; I understand that reaction time is not configured in the time said:
Sorry, I should have answered that part of your inqury as well. To be honest, the best thing to do is be the 1st to stage. Have Corsa engaged, 1st gear and ESC off before you even drive around the water box. Roll to the line and stage 1st then hard on the brake pedal. Tap the gas to confirm thrust mode is engaged and ready. As the car next to you is pre-staged, rolling to full stage, get on the gas and activate thrust mode. You should have ample time to react to the green light. After some practice, your time to engage thrust mode should become smoother and quicker. Hope that helps.
