1/4 Mile Times And Power Out Puts

QUOTE(shug1986 @ 30 Dec 2009, 11:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>not being funny guys but rolling road times dont really work as there is no wind resistance or any resistance to the wheels it's just as if the car is on air , i was meaning on a real 1/4 mile track
at crail mine ran 13.63 against a 360+ mk2 focus rs and beat it by 2 car lengths and was beating 330 hp st's by a second i should hopfully get under 13s when i get the diff in

Fitting the diff will make a lot of difference! Beating 330 bhp STs is hardly surprising if they were running a standard diff(and indeed if they were actually 330 bhp of course!) the ST struggles to put down its standard power let alone any extra! As for the RS i think youll find they arent very quick off the line even with the diff fitted as standard! Not sure why though? Maybe the extra weight combined with a tuning bias that favours top end rather than bottom end?

You will normally spin/get slip to both wheels at the same time. So the LSD would not work as it should do (transferring the power to the wheel with grip).

All the time is in the start, so best bet is to have good tyres, that will make the biggest difference.

I think youll find the standard diff only drives one wheel at a time but doesnt change to the wheel with grip like the ATB does! On the standard diff the driven wheel just spins! On mine its made a hell of a difference in grip away from the line specially if you floor it in 2nd gear! It used to just light up 1 wheel but now it just digs in and goes! The only downside i have found so far is that when it does let go it understeers like a ****** and heads for the outside of the corner double quick!
