TiTAN Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 There's a really nice stealth black R32 in engine bay picks section with powerglide. Have been weighing up options and this approach for something for quick street/drag. Wet clutch, torque multiplication and transbrake for drag would make for a very interesting launch, if the theory meets the real world. Fingers crossed there was a 500kw 32 in town that had a 2 speed in it, but i never got to go in it. had about a 5500rpm stall on it then again getting hi powered rwd off the line cleanly is all in the launch control/suspension setup and how much rubber you can stick under it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431233-mugabetown-whoretownin-at-its-worst/page/320/#findComment-7057908 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set up will be drag orientated, but engineered. I get a pretty good supply of used Michelin race slicks from Porsche Cup car. They aren't totally gone, approximately 50%, but won't be using these on street - they are atrocious cold and HWP don't tend to see the positive traction side lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431233-mugabetown-whoretownin-at-its-worst/page/320/#findComment-7057965 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hwp love seeing racing slicks on imports on the street. They love that sort of behaviour. On that note, morning all!

Bunta Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 On 18" qualifying tyres? This hasn't been my experience.Yep. They have no side wall and no bag and most of them have seen too many heat cycles too. Good for circuit terribly shite for drag racing. A good set of drag radials picked up .5 of a second in the 60ft. 2 seconds down to 1.5. The lesson I learned from all this is to use a tyre for what it is built for. If you aren't you are pushing shit up hill.
