Who has drag raced their Corrado?

And what did you run, with what spec.

 

I'm racing this Sunday at York, I'm hoping for low 14's.

I havent but I know a mate has with a standard VR6 2.9 Corrado with K&N induction kit and he did a 14.97 sec pass.... standard figure is 15.1 I believe???

[PhatVR6 0]

sounds about right to me. I think my mates old one ran a 14.7, but that was stripped out.

You should have bought a Civic Type R, so you can hang your hand-bag on the gear stick.

there's a handy little hook in the back for it if you look hard enough. :wink:

Aha, now it's *my* turn to say :offtopic1:

[PhatVR6 0]

Who cares?

It's a discussion group. Let's discuss!

;)

[PhatVR6 0]

anyway, I'd rather read humour and idle banter than slagging off of other people cars and companies.........

[dr_mat 0]

Wow, he called my posts "humour".

I am highly honoured.

Anyway, it's Phat's thread, so it's up to him to decide what the topic is! :)

[PhatVR6 0]

An not a single person has actually raced their corrado yet, including me!

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Nor me... I'm too scared it'll break :|

[PhatVR6 0]

I used to be like that. until it broke. then I just got into the swing of fixing everything that broke by replacing it with an uprated part. It's pretty strong now I think.

dont know if mine counts as its a g60 but i did have 1 run at inters just before lunchtime but it was raining and i spun right through first and second hence only managing a 16.55 :oops:

left the handbag at home though that day so that might be why :wink:

I remeber talking to you in the fire up lane, I was in the sh1tty matt black mk2 VR6, remeber it?

[corozin 0]

Most VR6's I've seen run in the 15.4s - 16.0s range. That 14.97 time is v-e-r-y quick for a standard car. Of course the timing at Inters has been known to be "a little out" in some years.

hm i think i can rember long time ago i think that was when i kept missing me gears :x

[PhatVR6 0]

I think it was GTI Festival last year. It was the first day I had the car on the road, and it was running like sh1t becasue I didn't have the schrick controller wired in properly and it wasn't opening up.

[aposegil 0]

i have done it a few times

 

the only recorded times i have at present is high 16's-17's when i went standpod and it had been raining

 

in all fairness i did do it wheel spinning up most of it with tyre pressure at 32psi lol which i did get told of for having and this is with leathers and my ICE install in the back :D

 

Im planning going back to do proper dry runs :D

[PhatVR6 0]

try it in the dry, with slicks, or 18PSI in your road tyres and watch the times come down.

 

I'm puttingthe tyre softener on my slicks tonight in preparation, I hope it doesn't rain.....
