I just came back from Orlando raceway where I competed in the Battle of the Imports". The temp was 82, no spare tire or jack and 1/8 tank of gas:

1st run: 2.166 60ft, 13.790 @ 102.63
2nd run: 2.233 60ft, 13.808 @ 102.82
last run: 2.106 60ft, 13.689 @ 102.56

This could possibly be the quickest TL yet?? At least it is the quickest run I've ever had in the 1/4 mile.:wow:

 

sweet! you gonna increase boost ever?

 

Well done!

 

WOW!

You probably do have the fastest time for a TL-S!

 

excellent.

i think it's all in the tranny.
i mean...who rebuilt it?...

i'm just asking.

 

Hooooly shatballs!!!

Nice times!! I want to go as fast as you.

 

Yes, if all goes well there will be more boost....say 4-5 lbs. I have also ordered an intercooler for the car. Our goal is for a max of 9.5 lbs of intercooled boost. We're hoping to get the car in the mid-high 12s(12.7-12.9) range if not even faster. The tranny has helped out a great deal with the high stall converter and the LSD(it was put together by a local shop in Apopka, FL ). The shop said it can probably handle 450 HP. I'll be heading back to the track tonight(Wed 3-31) to see if I can better the 13.68. The temp is expected to be 20-25 degrees less then it was when I did the 13.6 run. I'll keep you guys posted.

 

wow man those are great times!!!


keep us posted!!


@cUr@-TL

 

What did the car run stock?

 

Will you have to reduce compression to run at 9.5psi of intercooled boost?

 

That is some absolutely a$#kicking times. Good luck with sub 13's. It sounds like you will be the fastest TL out there.

 

good run man

 

DAMN! Definitely the fastest times on a TL that I've seen so far! Good job!

 

i dont know much about this kind of stuff... but im 100% sure that you wont have to lower the compression.

 

also, the name of the shop that did the transmission is Velocity Resources.

 

Killer times - I can't wait to see what you can do when you up the boost

 

Good times, I was down there. We brought down the grey-blue CRX that was running 11.2 @ 132......

 

Jimbo's car?

Who's this?

 

I bet that CRX is really good lookin also......well Ive never seen a sweet CRX but maybe there is one, I just think its funny when people get $3000 rides and put hella $$$$ into them for the sole purpose of the 1/4 mile - when the ride itself is shitty. I mean if you have a M5 or something then sweet mod the hell out of it, but fart sounding 4 bangers make me laugh. eventhough they could spank my car - I still dont care

 

Phil it's Charles with the Yellow M3

 

You're an idiot with an opinion, that's cool.

I could've spanked you with my TL and looked better. People that build 1/4 mile cars could care less about how it rides on the street, that's why they have other cars.

 

Oh you sound so mature with that one...I dont give a shit if you could have spanked me with your cool TL, grow up. I just said I think those cars are funny - eat a dick

 

You're the mature one, you talk shit about other peoples rides, then when someone says something about you you freak out....like the phrase "eat a dick". Just chill out with your painted stock exhaust, new cupholders and your de-painted shift plate and all will be OK.

 

Those are some serious times for a TL, great job.

 

Congrats... i would LOVE to see the looks on the faces of all those M3 and WRX and Evo owners that you can hang w/ on the the street, if not outright beat!

 

As long as we(Velocity Resources) intercool the car we should be able to run the stock compression with 9.5 max lbs. of boost. The car is in the shop and getting a thorough tranny inspection and hopefully be able to install some new carbon/graphite clutches. After the boost upgrade and intercooler it may net us another 80-100 HP to the wheels. Just as a reference, I've seen Ford lightning's- supercharged V-8 PU- running 13:6 to 13:8 on the same track in Orlando depending on driver etc.. So it is pretty awesome to not only keep up with but at times beat them and WRX, SRT-4, GTs,etc..
AS soon as I can I'll go back and do some night time runs when it is a little cooler. The 13:68 was during 82 degrees.
Have fun in your TL.
