We had some cooler weather down here in South Florida last night so I took our 2018 A10 car up to PBIR for a few passes. What an awesome night it ended up being.
First off I'm not an experienced driver. This 2018 10 Speed is really the first car I've ever spent time with at the track. I suck at driving a manual and I'm honestly afraid of driving some of the cars we've owned due to the power they make. This new A10 car is really easy to drive and I feel very comfortable in it. No need to worry about powershifting or missing gears with this one. Just put it in drag mode, turn off traction control and let her rip!
The last time out my best pass was a [email protected]. Mods on the car at that time were a Lund Racing E85 tune, JLT Cold Air Intake, Lethal Resonator Delete, Lethal Race Axleback, DSS halfshafts/driveshaft and the BMR bread and butter suspension package. Stock wheels and tires up front and a set of 19" replicas along with a 305/35/19 MT Street SS drag radials. No weight taken out of the car as well. This combo on the dyno yielded us 462rwhp.
Since then we installed a set of Kooks 1-7/8" headers with the offroad legs and had the tune checked by Lund Racing. The car made 476rwhp with this combo so it was time to test it at the track and compare it to our runs before the header install.
My first pass last night foot braking the car at 1500 rpm yielded me my best pass so far of an [email protected]. That's with a 1.73 60ft. I messed around on a few other passes launching at 2000rpms and the car was consistent running 11.36 and 11.37. As the night went on I tried to launch a little harder at the 2800 range and got my best 60ft of 1.70 however there must have been something that triggered the beam at the end of the track as my slip showed no ET or MPH
.
I was pissed so I hot lapped it and got right back on the line. Same thing with a 2800rpm launch. Cut a 1.71 60ft but the car spun and hopped a bit. I thought for sure it would be a crappy run but it ended up being a [email protected]. I was definitely surprised.
Here are the slips from last night. Looking forward to putting some slicks and skinnies on the car and getting it back to the track one more time before the Whipple goes on.
If you guys have any questions feel free to give me a shout and I'll be glad to help you out.
