horney 0 Posted March 20, 2009 Hi Folks, I'm off to Spring Fest next weekend and I'm planning on running up the strip a few times to see what the old girl can do. I was just wondering what others who had done 1/4 miles had clocked up for comparison. So lets see what you got and what engine/spec your car is, I'll post up mine when I'm back from the pod.

Sonicriot13 0 Posted March 20, 2009 I drive a standard G60 apart from the exhaust and suspension. I'd rather not know what my 1/4 mile time is! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil VR6 0 Posted March 20, 2009 I did a 15.7 in my G60 with a slipping clutch and knackered lambda probe. That was ‘stage 4’ with 68mm pulley, induction and exhaust. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dukest 0 Posted March 20, 2009 think i did 15.4 in my standard VR but not tried since fitting other bits Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil VR6 0 Posted March 20, 2009 I think a lot of it depends on how kind you want to be to your drivetrain. 120K mile gearboxes don't like to be hurried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdeviant 0 Posted March 20, 2009 Could never get to the end of the 1/4 in my "Delorean".... :epicfail: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GaVR6in 0 Posted March 20, 2009 I did a 15.7 in mine, I was hoping for better as i did a 15.5 in my golf vr and that was standard, my c has a 6 branch, bmc cda, ported and polished head, racing cams, and a stainless. So I was a bit dissopointed to be honest but it does need mapping, good luck mate I will see you there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTWG60 0 Posted March 20, 2009 I did a 15.12 time not including reaction time last year at the spring festival with half a tank of fuel and full interior, no spare though! That was on my first run, I couldn't get close to that on the subsequent 2 runs which were 15.3 and 15.5. Hoping to do marginally better this year. Those times are for a G60 on a stock charger 65mm pulley, chip and Golf FMIC, and full stainless ex system+manifold. Diesel gearbox helped with traction and the 1/8 mile time! I've managed a G-Tech time of 14.7 (less than gallon of fuel, car weighed 1115kg) with a 0-60 of 5.9 secs. :grin: Unfortunately you don't get a 0-60 time at the pod, unless you take a G-Tech with you! :) If I can get in the 14 seconds consistently I'll be happy with the new setup. I will have a 2nd Cylinder Head in the boot this time! But still the same fuel level. Should be interesting. :dorky: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KipVR 1 Posted March 20, 2009 Ending up with the tough decision, does he veer to the left and end up in the sea, or veer to the right and suffer the ferry destined for France..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ugly Bloke 0 Posted March 20, 2009 I will be at GTI festival on the 29th, but will not be running my 'rado down the Santa Pod strip, as I will be working. I do some of the commentary and annoucing work and that Sunday is one of my gigs. Previous Pod experience tells me that my VR6 would be low 15's. I look forward to seeing some of your more modified motors giving it some in a safe environment. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTWG60 0 Posted March 20, 2009 Just been out with a G-Tech and managed a [email protected] 1/8 of a mile with a 60ft in 2.335, 330ft in 6.284 with a 0-60 in 5.88 seconds. Here's the excuses - 10 gallons on board and found it hard to find a decent road with traction. And it was all legal as I didn't break the speed limit! :grin: Much Anyway!

MonkeyVR6 0 Posted March 20, 2009 Thats nothing...get a brew on lads and check out this link of me spanking down the strip in 18 seconds dead! It was a standard engined 1.4 8v Polo with a Supersprint exhaust, Pipercross induction and hardly any petrol! It was my first experience of Volkswagens when I was a mere 21! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedTyphoon 0 Posted March 20, 2009 I did 14.57s at Santa Pod.Megasquirt (first proper tuning), DR 268 cams,Yokohama tyres,K&N,FK coilovers, everything else is stock. More info viewtopic.php?f=17&t=77989 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ugly Bloke 0 Posted March 21, 2009 Also just seen you have a Campaign and you would run it down the strip, awesome mate :clap: Thanks dude, I probably wont get a chance to have a go on the strip, as I will be working. I've done 18.04 in my old 1967 split screen camper van and a 15.7 in my 1968 Karmann Ghia, both times at Santa Pod. The Ghia had a broken nosecone at the time, gearchanges were very slow, I think maybe a second was wasted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
