I ran 270 on the 1km on Stock Michelin's from the factory with full interior. So yeah, running a 1km should show the power. I'm sure it will run over 280.

Thats very quick bud, what people dont understand is that on the highway doing 120 obviously and then thumping your car as hard as you can see how long it takes you to 200km/h and then try understand doing 270km/h from STANDSTILL! Awesome exit on a stock type car doing the 1km:thumbs:Sherwin@xcede said:

If the clutch was a issue why didn't they just order from HPF they have clutches for any power level?
With the power level on the chart shown I think they will crack over 290 on the km.

I don't think the Savspeed guys need to prove much in terms of reliable build and power output etc. Running times on the quarter is a different kettle of fish especially with a very powerful car. I don't think the drag guys are hating they just know the ingredients it takes and to run sub 11's and power plays a smaller role.

lol not quite my Turbo is maxed out @ 1.8 bar I ran that on 1.5 bar. I was playing with the gearing for the next attempt and went slower.

LOL not far off then, Sergio already did a 276km/h and had a little more boost left so hope the other Z4 can get nearer to that time of yours as they can run higher boost.

I get to see that car this Saturday, I really can not wait!!!!
That was with a boost leak!:bangdesk:UberTaner said:
I 100% agree with your quote but the run was supposed to be from 2nd gear from the roll and the Z4 didnt launch as described on the vw post.Sherwin@xcede said:

Quite a bit and with less boost!:idea:

WOW thats flying!:bravo:

Agreed bud.
If my memory is correct Sergios Z4 ran 211kph 1/4m at odi @1.2 odd bar boost and was cutting out at 6k(1st-3rd)and he still switched the car off and on for about a second in 4th to clear all the faults and only then did the car get going.On the 276kph run he was only doing 198kph on the 1/4m so work out the calculations and thats 289!Sav told me that the car was already doing 276 at around the 900m mark and was limiting and cut out from there on!I think his car would easily run a 220+1/4m without the cutting out issues that said the budler cars cleaned up,well done guys!Sherwin@xcede said:

You are 100% right George!I would like to give you guys more info on this grey Z4.Firstly it was built as a track car to TRY and do a sub 1;50secs around Kyalami.It has kw clubsports with top mounts,full floating billets 6's with performance friction race pads,racing bushes and engine mounts,turner motorsports rear toe arm links,uuc short shifter,apr wing and splitter,recaro spg's(coming soon),18"E92 M3 mags running 285 semi slicks on the rear to name some of the mods!It was NOT built as a full on drag racer but wouldnt be too hard to convert if required to but that said a sleeved block would be needed for the 2.2-2.5 bar boost pressures required for a full on drag car with beefed up EVERYTHING else!The wheel alignment is set for track driving(negative camber)which makes it hard to put the power down as it lights the wheels up very easily in the first 4 gears.That said,it wont be too difficult to change the alignment for maximum grip!The clutchmasters 2 plate clutch(which hpf also uses)lasted just over 1000km's @ 0.9 bar boost and then a 3 plate was fitted which lasted 350ks(a couple of [email protected] bar killed it):=):.A different 3 plate with a beefed up pressure plate was installed an is still under testing.I hope that answered some of the questions you guys had.

A couple of Savspeed E36's have run 11's and i think the best was the red one at 11.2@tarlton(ultimate event)if the info given to me is correct.Savs black car apparentely ran well over [email protected] on the 1/4m with semis(track)tyres NOT DRAG RADIALS!These E36's are NOT running crazy boosts(2+bar)like some of the other fast cars because Sav is conservative and does not want his cars to break down for some big numbers.Sav's 328 turbos have run a 12 dead from what i have been told at just over 200kph at around 1.3-1.4 bar!No eth or meth in these cars with either pump or race fuel, no head gaskets blowing from excessive boost levels!Boost for boost they are very strong and very reliable!The Z4 has another 170-200 more wheel kw than the turbo M's so should be a little quicker especially with mickeys and less weight!:rollsmile:.

Yip but on the run I turned the boost down to get the car not to wheelspin too much so thats why I estimate 650
[video=youtube]
Did you turn the boost down only for the launch and then up while on the move?I have been told by a couple of people that you guys are running well over 2 bar,whatever the case these 328's are very very quick and made the Nissan boys extremely nervous,they disappeared quickly after the 300kph run.SDP said:
SDP said:
I don't think so bud,how much does your car make?I think you are making around 750-800hp@wheels like mine and your car is stripped out from what I have been told.What does your car weigh?I hear you have different stages of boost when you run,from what I can see on your video you cranked it up from 3rd on.Please correct me if I am wrong.:idea:
The reason SDP turns it down is because it loses traction in the higher gears. He doesn't turn the boost down due to launch problems. so there's no point switching to high boost in 3rd gear.
