i ran 13.9 at 249.6 bhp stage 1 its hard to get into 13s cuz its soooo hard to launch at pod, my coupes at a bodyshop at the minute so im not sure if I will come but maybe, looking forward to see marco's time. Marco is your coupe more than 250.4 yet?

With 260bhp, anything in the 13's is a good time, but its ALL in the launch, which is far more difficult than you would think.
There is lots of traction at Santa Pod, but a turbo FWD car will still break traction easily, so you have to get the launch just right - 3,000 - 4,000rpm, lift the clutch quite hard, don't let the revs bog down, but don't let the revs flare up either, moderate the throttle to keep traction and once you've got past the first 100 feet or so, its simply flat out all the way to the line. If you're brave, you'll still be in third gear, but very close to the redline

Nigel your like a mind reader!!! i was going to say ive been messing around with remp to launch at and found being a little brutal dont really hurt to much and at bang on 3500rpm you can get a 90% perfect launch!
found 4000rpm was a strain on my neck!!
Boostmecoupeup, havent done nothing to the car since the rr session so she is still at 250.4 looking forward to seeing every one there!
i have one question for the pro's... what tyre pressure do you run on the 1/4mile?

what tyre pressure do you run on the 1/4mile? It depends a lot on the make of tyre (some have much softer sidewalls) On my last runs at Santa Pod, I was down to about 22psi - this hurts the terminal speed, but it helps the launch

wow 22psi!!!
i drive around on 32psi so i think i will try different psi settings and see what works the best!
must remind my self to bring a pump lol
terminal speed dont really bother me, mess the launch up and you have ruined a run! (imo)
