Figures Not quite right Think you will find ZX2NV had 327rwkw on NOS when he ran the 12.0. reaction time has nothing to do with elapsed time, dosen't matter if you sit there for 10 minutes your et wont start till you leave the line.
Staging area Have to trip light beams in the staging area, both lanes have to get two white lights before the lights count down, you can leave any time after the light has turned green, thats when your et starts.
oh ok..thats awesome.....how do they measure that launch distance or whatever it is people talk about when coming from the drags????
TT auto has many settings you can flip the switch from HOLD (great on wet dodgy roads) to normal (saves gas and speeding fines) and to POWER (revs up more), plus the overdrive. When its out of overdrive it engine breaks a bit which is cool. Plus the power curve is more concave, that is more solid through the (legal) lower speed range. Not so much sudden 'kick in the back' dyno queen action at the top of the rev range. So heaps of settings and appropriate setup for a street car.
60 foot time is what they determine as the launch. Most manuals try to get to the 1.6 sec time Most autos are on the 2 sec mark due to not being able to get the engine to boost up enough, You can offset that by running a big stall convertor.
The Enzo is Manual The enzo is a manual. The gear change is not an automatic process it requires you to do it manually (i.e you chose when to shift and have to do it yourself). How they choose to implement this manual process is up to them (with or without a clutch pedal) but the gear change is by no means done for you automatically. Thus a manual. Look underneath and you wont find an automatic gearbox that checks your rpm and does all those other things an auto does. And I think you'll find that manuals are faster at drags than auto's (given all else is equal in the two cars) if you know how to drive. My opinion.
Wow Wow, have you ever read any reviews of the F1? Every magazine that's reviewed it says it's the worst handling supercar ever. The last one I read said "this car is beautiful from the outside, and has power to burn, pity it handles like a pig." I'll admit I love the look of it but the number of bad reviews i've seen can't be wrong. Or are they??
Yeah I love the HOLD setting. Really helps in the wet. Probably same as being in third in a manual, but I'm lazy. Even flicking that switch is such alot of work
COZ ITS A RACE car, and has no power steering the enzo does. just read up about the racing heritage of the car it smashed everything else in its short racing life. for pure handling ability it pretty much shits on anything else. thats the problem with motor journos driving fast cars is very emotive. and to make an unbias "I love my auto cause it helps me drive my fat ass on the highway" opinion you need to judge dispassionately.
