Xcede Super M - 0 to 270km/h in less than 1 km

[dvst8]

Sherwin ran 270km/h today at ODI on the 1km. Speed limiters still in place and the M3 was on that limiter before the 1km mark.

Also ran a 11.2 on the 400m.

Well done Sherwin and Xcede !

... but WHY ???

 

[George Smooth]

270 is no joke. Well done Sherwin. :bravo:

 

[Karthik]

Hey guys limiter is in place due to my stupidity. Hit the limiter at 967m, so I don't it it cost too much. I think 275 is possible, maybe 280 if I use launch control. 270 was done with street tyres, no launch.

1/4 mile also learnt a lot today & ran 0.4 seconds faster by fixing the belt slip & not using launch control.

Was the difference in boost pressure measurable running at ODI with the slight altitude change?

Must be, did not someone on the GTi forum once say ODI is like running at the coast.

No, no difference at all. Runing 0.4 bar at 8000rpm, 0.45 at 8400rpm at 1600m elevation.

At ODI, the elevation was 1200m. It's hard to see the difference on a boost gauge. Looked about the same.

Times & exits were identical from Tarlton last time I went. 11.6 at 200 at Tarlton. 11.6 at 200 at ODI. But the belt has been slipping all the while. Today was the 1st time the belts didn't slip as I finally did something about it. And the exits went up to 203-204. Helps with time at the end as well. But major drop in time was from not using launch control. Altitude had nothing to do with it as my 1st 3 runs today were all 11.7. It's only from driving changing that the time dropped.

Cool stuff. In theory with a fixed belt charger the gains are very small over such a change. Just needed to know for future reference.
By the way my buddies where on a breakfast run this morning and they told me you ripped all their exotics a new one.

Awesome stuff Sherwin :thumbs:

BTW have u run against that orange super charged RGM M3 yet, with these times and 1km exit speed u should leave him in the dust?

Yeah sure, but I did go down to Durban & the boost went up 0.15 bar without touching the pulley. So sea-level does make a difference. But 400m was hard to pickup. I should have logged it but didn't have time.

Yeah ran some Lambo's, M6, Maserati, Aston's. They got a bit of a shock as they were lining up to pick on the M3. :rollsmile:
