First time tuning this car, and im not a huge fan of it honestly
but heres what I got
Runs the 1/4 in 9.274 with the set RPM launch technique, and full throttle launch in 9.282 / 9.283
I feel my gears arn't perfect and I'm unsure if theres more to get from my suspension, but im happy with it I wanted to try and get a high 9.27X from full throttle launch.
EDIT: just tryed a different 4th gear placement and matched your time karo
not sure if I will be able to beat it tho.

Nice work man 👍
I tried 3 different methods for the trans all with similar results over the 1/4... 2nd gear launch seems a tiny bit faster for me, but I need to practice my shifting
I said not to take my words for granted just because i dont have a pic to post
but i see that you are close to what i said.
The only thing i said was that my run was under 2.6s for 0-60 and i dont remember the rest.Anyway try more and you can make it under 9.270.
Maybe now i have some who believe it can be done...

No problem kleo... you have an amazing memory
By the way, do you mean you can only remember the 0-60 and the 1/4 time might not be right? You only have the 9.320 time on the leader board

Thanks man, you too 👍, I launch in 2nd also quck shift into 3rd, I couldn't get 3rd gear launch to work it just always made me slower. What RPM do you shift at after your in 3rd? Im shifting @ 7900rpm or just below it into 4th same for into 5th and 6th.
Im trying to rework my suspension to see if I can get a couple of thousandths out of it but not having much luck, all changes I make either have no effect or make it slower, but some do improve my 0-60 / 0-100 but the 1/4 time is slower.
I'd imagine a 9.268 / 9.269 is possible. And a 9.270 for sure but i can't seem to figure out what's needed to get there.
Will have to wait and see if jryeargin posts a time as I keep reading on here he's capable of pulling of some mind blowing times with alot of cars, im still waiting to see if he blows my rx7 time out the water

I used to be a pro Swimmer and believe me i remember so many times in details that all of my friends call me computer man.I'm able to remember from memorizing more than 400 cell numbers,all my athletes times cause i'm a coach now and all the times of the Greek Dragster cars!!!
But i'm not actually a calculator and even i can forget some things
Numbers and especially times is kind a passion of me man thats why and
thats why they forbid my entrance to 2 of 3 casinos in Greece cause i memorize numbers extremely well!!!
I'm a man though not a machine bro,sorry!!!
BTW the time i posted back then was with my susp tune and the fast time with Karos susp tune...
I have some fast times with the help from Karo man,thats not bad...
I already said i'm bad at susp tuning

Sounds like the same setup although I think I have a lower starting final looking at your 0-60/0-100. I'm also quick shifting to 3rd and all are at 7750rpm although 100 each way doesn't make much of a difference for me. Seems a strange shift point for the power band, but it works
I can PM my suspension if you like although I doubt it's better than yours looking at the times... only unusual thing was the low rear toe.
Can't wait for jr to work on this (and the rx7) too, but I know he is busy.

I now see you as one of my favourite fictional characters, Spider Shepherd. A cop (ex SAS) with a photographic memory who runs around killing terrorists. Maybe Stephen Leather will have him busting heads as an undercover swimming coach in his next book

Its not photographic memory
Its number memory man and only that
Its Law of Probability...mind calculations
Everything that has a time included
I dont know that fictional character and
if it really exists but if it does thanks!!!

If your brain was an i-7 3920XM mine would be an ENIAC with about half it's vacuum tubes blown. Numbers are my enemy.

I stumbled onto a .270 tune early and thought I could improve on it, but messed it up and now I'm stuck at .271 not remembering how exactly my ratios were set up.
Swara, try lowering the rear toe.

I'll let Karo decide if this is considered a fair and legit time for his comp. If he doesnt I completely understand.
This time was achived using retro's quick shift launch tecnique like on the ACR '08, but on this car is waay more difficult as you have to quick shift from 1st up to 3rd

Nice time karo! 👍 Looks like i will have to try make some changes to my tune, I never felt my gears were set well on this car I find it's shift points are even more precise than with the RX7. If you can get a first gear launch to work with your tune you should be able to get areound a 9.266 id imagine comparing how much time it shaved from my 2nd gear launch.
