Unfortunately your version of fast is not realistic here in the states. That's why we hit the 1/4 mile track. Now it would be interesting to see what your car would run in the 1/4 mile. ET's, MPH, and 60' would all tell where your car is making it's power. Now there are those here that do illegal drag racing from a roll, but I doubt any of them stay WOT for more than 15 seconds.
Cooling is already a BIG Factor if you want to run a time like 23 Seconds from 100-270 KM/H, which I did in my video. Before my latest Cooling Mods this time would never have been possible. Unfortunately here in Germany there are not many places where you can run your car in the 1/4 mile with taking ET's, MPH, 60' and all that that times. We also run only on Street tires here. If I can get enough traction from the start I think a time a tad under 12sec. is also in my car. Would be interesting.
We here in Germany do Performance and Tuning Comparisons more from a rolling start and at higher speeds. At higher speeds traction, reaction time etc. are not so important. Only the Real Power of the Engine counts and there are no excuses. The engine has to work much harder at WOT in 4th or 5th gear. But I also like the Competition Spirit in the U.S. with Drag-Racing in the 1/4 mile very much.Thumbs up. Must be fun !!
By the way, I mailed with Brian Brave, who did the "Texas Mile" with 169 MPH = 270 KM/H in his SRT6. Next time he will take times for his Mile run. Than we can compare his and my times. This would be great!!!
