If my Clio lightly stripped hits 110mph terminal potentially what time could it get with a good hook up?

Good tyres and a 1.8sec 60' you'd be in to low 12's mate.Originally Posted by Adey aka Ewok
cheers master scoff, looking to set a target for myself without increasing the power for a while, no competition stuff just for fun @rwyb's. would skinny rear tyres help aswell as decent front tyres?
just sport some speedos adey that save shot lots of weight!!
ill wear some budgie smuglers just for you mr jjust sport some speedos adey that save shot lots of weight!!
Rear wheels and tyres are neither here no there, we're talking less than a 10th probably. With good road tyres you should go high 12 easy enough
likeing this thread,
i cosistantly hit 110 mph, 111mph terminals but cant better 14.8 sec
but consistantly have **** starts.
mixed with slipping clutch.
granted i have no engine at the minute, but what am i doing wrong?
I went to Santa Pod a while back, ok it's a rear wheel drive car but I was doing 112mph terminals and managed a 12.9 on road legal slicks with a 2.1 60ft, so if there's grip you'll get better.
i guess it dont help that ive only run at north weild airfeild either
always found my sx easier to launch on the strip than my fwd stuff, had 12.7 on road tyres at 112, only dropped to 12.6 with an increase in power as it wheel span more tho i was crossing at 118mph
That's a very good terminal for a heavy car though, i'm aiming for that or higher (but I feel my turbo is holding me back). Traction is a completely different story with rwd, hardly a comparison, I suppose, unless you're running slicks.
i guess staging is your first thing,get that right its a start.
North Weald is slippy mate, get to pod & you'll see 12's with decent tyres with 110/111 MPH traps. I was doing 14's with 101 MPH traps on road tyres
