Boosted E30 :)

M50B28 Turbo...

It's quite the beast... Not even launching it hard, and in F&F terms... granny shifting :p

[Tree18is]

HARD.. hold second next time.. well thats just me.

[MikeE30325i]

yeah, that was quick. i thought it might be quicker though. but still a great achievement

A car that is burning out usually isn't accelerating too quickly.

no way!?!?!

[SA E30]

Haha... well when u putting down almost 500 ponies to the tar on tired intermediates... it's hard to keep traction... haha.

He's lookin at running 10's this year... which is quite the achievment for a completely street legal car.

no way!?!?!

Yes way!!! You lose your friction, you lose your acceleration. Let me explain



Force, F=ma in the forward direction
Friction, Fr=uN opposing the force
You have your W=mg acting down on your car and to oppose that force, you have your N normal force, N.

When you set up your free body diagram, you find that ma=uN but since your N=mg, you have your ma=umg. the 'm's cancel out and you have your a=ug. In other words, your acceleration is dependent on your friction coefficient, u.

If you have no friction, you have no acceleration. boo ya. Same reason why you put sandbags in your car in the snow, it won't give you better traction. The only things taht will give you better traction is the gravity constant and your friction coefficient (or how good your tires are in lay-mens terms)

Lol...

Here is another one... listen to the wheelspin in 3rd.

You would know from personal experience huh? ;)

[BimmerToad]

anyone know if the car is using a e36 tranny or a 260?

[Garageaholic]

So what pressure are you running? what kind of numbers do you have? c'mon now!

i actualyl understand and know all of this, but i was just messing around. but thank you for the explanation.

lol i was just fuckin with ya briz. but it's cool to figure out huh?

[ldsbeaker]

That.
is.
Disgusting.

More Powa!!!!!

Last I heard he was putting down around 450hp to the rears.

He's using a Getrag 260, with a 3.91 LSD (soon to be swapped for a 3.64 LSD)

1/4mile = 11.8sec , trap speed can't remember exact no, but was around 230km/h

As u can see with that trap speed, he's struggling with traction.

BTW, this isn't my car it's my friends.
