Wrong in both cases. "IF" I race from a dig, I prefer at the track because I'm MUCH less likely to wheelhop on a level prepped surface than a cold highway.
Also, I don't think that car would drag me with a 200 shot. He trapped 128, and I trap 126 on street tires. With a proper launch (basically good DR's or slicks), my car is very capable of being in the mid 10's@130+mph.

Lank is forecasted to be exceptionally busy in the coming days, as he is taking part in street dyno test with vehicles from around the world. He's in great demand these days but I'll see what I can do to work you into his increasingly busy schedule.
Now, we ask that your vehicle is mechanically sound and operating at 100% on the day of the race. We don't want to take the long, arduous drive out to the test spot only to have a no-go situation due to a mechanical fault with your vehicle. We are well aware that vehicles such as yours are considerably more prone to such failures as a result of continued, albiet not reccomended, operation dangerously close to the edge of the safe performance envelope.
Brad's vehicle was designed to operate reliably at his power levels, however, that is not the case with many of his opponents. To date, 6 of the vehicles that Brad has raced, have suffered catastophic mechanical and/or structural failures while conducting these performance tests - we hope yours will fair more favorably.

03CobraAV8R
01-12-2009, 09:41 PM
Pffft, from a roll on the highway all you gotta do is feather the throttle.
Sir, you may need to review the Street Dyno Test Procedures Manual Volume 1 version 6, page 187, part 91.113 section C that discusses consequences of throttle application at various ground and tire temperatures, vehicle speeds, gear selections and horsepower levels.
It states that "even after the required crew training in this area has been completed, and knowing the possibility exists for an unexpected and sudden loss of traction upon throttle application, the operator of the vehicle may still be unable to arrest a sudden loss of traction.
Failure to rapidly identify and correct the traction loss may result in: mechanical damage to various rear-end components, a substantial loss in vehicle acceleration resulting in an increasing lateral separation between you and the opponent vehicle, the preceeding may be followed shortly by an unfavorable loss of directional control that may result in vehicle impact with a stationary object or other vehicle."
and you sir are amazing with your type of camera. if your going to SDR on the 31st PM me if you want to trade a photoshoot for a video :goodjob:

Depends. 460whp+ on what 195 or 205?? street tire on a 2800lb FF car. It's a VR6 so it actually makes torque too. Now this against a 500whp Vette or what not on 325's????
You could barely even go 1/2 throttle from 60 in the Golf, the other car would be lonng gone by the time it hooked.
onebadgt
01-12-2009, 10:17 PM
stick a m/t et street 235.50.15 or something on there. that thing would roll out from a 2nd gear roll then
03CobraAV8R
01-12-2009, 10:20 PM
Yeah, the weight transfer of a FWD vehicle is less than optimal when wide open throttle is applied. The lateral acceleration forces effectively transfer the static weight off of the front tires and towards the rear of the vehicle. The result of which is a reduction in tire to ground contact force and area which in turn reduces the surface/tire friction coefficient below levels that would yield optimal forward acceleration.
Brad, you guys might be even, you'd both be feathering the shit out of it in these cold temps, :lmfao:

But I can/will still run cars with similar power to mine. I CAN do it in the cold, it's just very tricky. There's no need to ask people with a 200whp+ defecit to run with me because I don't have good traction in the cold lol

Don't be so sure about that. This car has Lank beat by 300lbs and almost the same power/torque. That 300lbs is huge.

Haha well there is only one way to find out. Gotta run him..
However, try putting 205's on the back of your car, then somehow get the weight to transfer the wrong way when you hit the gas, giving the wrong tires more traction. It's a double negative that produces no positive result hah. Now you have the Golf's problem.
On DR's it would be much better, but from any speed below 60/70mph it'll still light them up like crazy

Yeah, I didn't realize he was on street tires. It's tough, I know. I can't get into mine until about 80+mph when it gets below 55 - 60 degrees. You just can't go WoT. But he should still be able to put a big hurtin' on 300whp cars even at half throttle until 100mph or whatever. Most cars weigh 3200+ lbs. So honestly, MOST cars would be so much slower he could easily just pussy foot it through half the race and be fine.

I met up with the VRT last night and got pulled by a bus+ w/ him on 15 psi. Went down as I thought it would though my car is only putting down around 300whp to his 400+ whp
that fukker is quick!

Man you got BIG balls driving like that on that road ...... I live right up the road , the PD sits there all the time.. Little fyi .... a lot of racing has been done there and bikes like to take the twisties there a lot. All this + SMALL TOWN PD = no fun... BE CAREFULL
Car looks fast. I know your pain about the traction ... Im about to go back to the dyno and ill be about where you are now... Well have to meet up some time.

Yeah, I didn't realize he was on street tires. It's tough, I know. I can't get into mine until about 80+mph when it gets below 55 - 60 degrees. You just can't go WoT.

yeah im on a 205 street tire, and last night we tryed a 40~ punch i was in 2nd.. and spun prety bad even at 15psi so im thinkin a 50~ kick?? maybe i can do something besides spin the tires.. :screwy: :cheers:

If you are talking to me....the higher speed, the better. My car doesn't even hit its peak HP in 2nd gear until about 75mph.
But I was just suggesting in general. Even though you can't go wide open, you should still be able to beat people with a lot less hp. We can line up if you want. I can't go WOT until about 80 or 90mph myself, when it's cold out.

Don't be so sure about that. This car has Lank beat by 300lbs and almost the same power/torque. That 300lbs is huge.
Factor in we don't know what gear the VW has either.
I think it would be interesting from a 60mph roll. :crazy:
yea but you also have to look at gearing and aerodynamics.....and the ability to feather the throttle

yeah i would love to run you just to see how i stack up, prob. going to get outran! but thats not what its about for me i just like seeing fast cars! Most of the time if im running a guy i know i can beat i just use a higher gear say 3rd insted of 2nd. and just catch them on the top end. :cheers:

i like the way it looks for one and two DR's are too damn expensive! :D all i coud go would be a 225... 20mm ain't going to do squat. since it spins the 8"et slicks at the track but yeah i have though about it.. probably going to by some DR's next time i buy tires :cheers:

DR's are usually cheaper than street tires, I think. And if you're not burning out in them all the time, you can easily get over 10k miles out of them.
I use street tires for the ride and durability, but they are more expensive than DR's (they just last longer).
But maybe it depends on the size. Street tires are VERY expensive on 17+" wheels, but DR's aren't that bad for those sizes.

Give me a ring or confirm with Brad a time and I'll head out. It's about a 45 min drive for me to get up there, want to make sure you'll be able to make it, lol. If not, no big deal we can try another day :cheers:

I guess we are going to have to try another day. its just tough for me to get out that late on a weeknight. Maybe this weekend like sat night or something we can catch up with each other and some of the other guys can come out too.
No big deal.. its damn cold anyway :eek: :cheers:

Ok, sounds good.
I tried a few runs last weekend when it was 30 degrees out or so. Couldn't even give it half throttle up until around 70 - 80mph, was useless.

saw that little mishap at the track.. looked like an interesting ride :eek: :eek: :eek:

Yeah, that was something different. Not quite sure what happened there. The track was slick as hell, but I think my rear tires were spinning then quickly grabbed with one spinning way faster than the other.
