This car never ceases to amaze me...

ambletx · 03-08-2022, 10:09 AM

Having been in an F90 for the past 4 years (first a 2018 non-comp and now a 2021 comp) this car never ceases to amaze me at how fast it is given its weight. We had some good DA here this week so I decided to get a couple of runs in and achieved my new personal best 0-60 of 2.60 (a 2.42 w/ the 1ft roll out&#128563

!! There wasn't enough road so I had to let off around 120'ish and I coasted through the 1/4 with an ET of 10.59!!!! My favorite thing about the car is when LC goes active, I let off the brake, and stomp the loud pedal. The feeling I get in the pit of my stomach is akin to being on a roller coaster and going over that first steep drop!!!

Really nice numbers for a piggy-back tune, air filters and pump gas.

Shame you had to let off before the 1/4, your trap speed would have been very impressive.

So yeah, I decided to give it another shot tonight where I had room.

Oh mine is typically between 2500 and 3500. This just happened to be a period in Austin where the air was dry and temps were cool. I just thought I would take advantage of it and see what the car would do in ideal conditions.

El Paso. 4000ft elevation plus the heat. At night when it cools down we average 5500 DA in the summer and on a cool night in the fall it starts to drop down into 4000 range.

DA = density altitude. Lots of information on the internet on how it affects performance.
