Just noticed the claimed ET.
I can tell u this much.
Running an 11.80 down the 1320 with a 190E chassis on streetradials with 300PS...forget it.On streetradials you´ll be happy to turn in a low 13.
12s after some tuning and getting used to the car.
Me and Gordon up here ,both, are running inxs of 450PS-and we´re turning the low 11 sec bracket on dragracing SLICKS after some SERIOUS tuning.(Another friend Jarle is in the same league)
Tuning where we gladely blow shit shyhigh in an effort to be faster than the other.
A turbo 190E of 350PS...isn´t an average powered car for the streets anymore.It´s a fucking BOMB...ready to race motocycles ANYTIME out on the open freeway as turbocars ALWAYS come on harder at speed than the observed ETs at a standing start will give it credit for.(boost,flow,p1vsp2 aso)
To even get the porsche to turn the claimed low 12s takes its man/pilot.
A tenth of a second is an eternity in dragracing.
It´s freaking forever.
Why is it...that people believe that dragracing is just about creeping up to the light and go full throttle-not much to it?
Let me tell you about dragracing.
It is by FAR the easiest motor sport to start out with.
...and by FAR the hardest of them all to master.
Marginals are absolutely minimal.
I have won races on occasion with marginals in the 1/1000 of a second,and i FAR from master the sport.
11.80?
On the stock untouched 190E chassis?
Reeeeiiiiiight...
On the stock untouched rear end?
On the stock untouched drive shafts?
With 350PS?
HELL NO!
Gordon insisted on using the stock IGNITION til he started running mid 12s.
Well...as he was stubborn in doing so he blew engines shy high at a boost of 1 bar plus out of a huffer just smaller than the current size like they were going out of style on 8,5:1 compression.
Maki´s seen the car and motor i use to propel myself down the quarter mile at a tune of 8,63@259km/h.
Nothing much stock about it anymore huh Maki?
That motor develops 1284PS.
Dynoed,and the chassis per se...isn´t exactly anything we would call "street friendly" anymore.
11.80?
N´key...for the sake of argument.
Ever seen one of these?
...cause i got tons of em.
Even...for my lousy,daily street driven..190E
