Firstly, it is a LOT harder than I thought. Everything happens so fast and I got confused and left it in Drive and on the first run I didn't even look at the lights at all and left the line when I saw the other guy screaming down the track
The first run was a 16.1 @ 142kmh with a 2.7 60ft. Needless to say this was rather disappointing
Second run was 16.5 @134km/h with a 2.4 60ft. This is the run where I left it in Drive (and not in power mode either) so it shifted at 5500rpm.
Third run was 15.9 @142km/h with a 2.6 60ft.
Last run was 15.8 @144km/h with a 2.560ft.
I had dropped the boost to 7psi (and 130rwkw) to be safe and that had hurt the launches. I could only spool up 3psi on the line and that wasn't nearly enough to spin the tyres at all. I did do the burnouts though, which were fun but probably lame-looking with only one tyre smoking
I'm kinda hooked now and want to go back with more tweaks to hopefully get into the 14s (14.999999 will do), but at the moment I am consoling myself with the fact that 15.8 is at least 1.1s faster than stock!
It was funny...I had my bonnet open (like everyone else) in the queue, and lots of guys would come by and the reaction was usually:
\"SICK! 13b Turbo! What times you doin man?\"
\"Just did a 16.5\"
...and you could just see the look on their faces....\"but, but...it's a ROTARY....they're meant to be GOOD for drag racing!\"
On one run I lined up against a 9.8 second car... when he did the burnout the whole universe filled up with V8 roar and I thought the Luce was going to shake itself to bits right then and there....and yes he went over the line with sufficient time to spare that I could see his ET and trap speed on the giant board well before I shifted to 3rd gear
