Just ran 12.7 at Tarlton. Been a while coming buddy & you have been plagued with bad luck & irritating little glitches, but it was only a matter of time before the tide turned. Congrats, awesome time, N54 FTW!

Thanks man, my exit on the 12.7 was 178. I was expecting a slightly higher exit and not to drop under 180 at all but there was strong head wind. The track bite did not get up to temperature neither so I was tapping off a bit at the end of first and beginning of second. I know if it hooks up I get a 182-184. I was also full weight (my car has electric seats @39kg each) with half a tank of fuel.
Thanks guys. I checked over my Vbox logs for the day and surprisingly I suffered from quite a bit of wheel spin in first and second. End of the day power is nothing if you cannot put it down. I still have more power in the bag but I want to experiment on a nice day where there is decent traction and not a headwind. The headwind greatly affected my exit speed as I can see the G's the car pulls in 3rd and fourth is lower than normal. I should see a 12.5 with my current setup and lower once and if I ever install meth. Then I will have to think carefully about upgrading the turbos or waiting for the new M5.

I'm glad to hear ur car is running how it should!
Was just a matter of time...
Its always been running like this. The only time I had bad luck was the day of the gticlub with a leaking DV. I have run 13.0@180 on a Friday night and I only recently got my MSA license to be able to attend a decently prepared track. Now I am addicted hehe.:excited:
