I have a 13 month old daughter so I'm also used to going to bed at 9:30ish so I'll be dragging ass tomorrow..lol. I've seen that car numerous times at the track actually. It's clean as hell and obviously ridiculous fast!

My car could go 11's if I start taking stuff out... I don't really consider that a daily driver once you start taking extra stuff like seats out to accomplish an 11 second pass.. I should have went to the track last night.. da was -800 with high 40's temps..

My 12.2 was with DA around 600ft so you should be going if it's that far into the negatives! With air that good a lot cam be gained!

It was Wednesday night, I missed it... I get up at 4am to be at work at 4:30 so Wednesday nights would be hard for me. My kids are 2 and 5 so they are better sleepers than they used to be so that's not an issue

I figured I would update you guys on my track visit thursday. I struggled with traction and had wheel hop on the 1-2 shift but still managed a new pb!

Is your car PP or not? Advance-trac/traction all the way off when you launch? Do you break boost? If so, what RPM? Thats a pretty nice 60'

Yes, it is a performance pack. I only turn off traction control because wheel hop hasn't been an issue before. Makes me wonder if it would've helped me more turning advance trac off also because it lit up on the dash around 100mph each pass. Yes, this was a break boost launch btw

Both my cars have done this at 100 MPH, Advancetrak just shuts down.

The 13 was non pp.

AJP turbo · October 30, 2016, 12:38:19 PM

My 14' PP would show "service advancetrac" even when I shut if off....Only when I brake boosted..

I don't think the safety mechanisms like having the brake and throttle depressed at the same time.

J_C · October 30, 2016, 12:45:45 PM

I can't help but wonder if the wheel hop and advance trac cost me a tenth or two? I kept dropping tire pressure hoping it would help but didn't unfortunately

Shoulda read the signature for the PP question... DOH! What RPM are you launching at? I know all cars are different, just trying to see if it is drastically different than my launch.

As other have said, Advance-Trac, even off, gets pissed when you go fast. I had the same thing AJP mentioned happened ~3 times at the track the last time I went, but a quick key-cycle set everything straight. No actual codes, etc.

I have yet to get wheel hop, I wonder if the H&Rs spring rate was a contributing factor there?

f8tlSHO · October 31, 2016, 09:49:02 AM

Yeah I have never had wheel hop either, stock springs on mine. I had the car fall flat on its face off the line though. Seems like it happens if you hold the brake boost too long... like ajp said, the computer doesn't like to see brake and gas at the same time..
