S7 Saleen

[KaroSVTR]

Has anyone tuned the S7 Saleen for 1/4 mile?

I've seen some people running them. I made an attempt but it didn't turn out to hot.

What was your time on it?

Thought you were going to work bro. I heard 9.4s others say 9.3s so who knows.

I am at work lol. Naww! 9.3's-9.4's... Thats way too fast for that ride. Im hitting 9.6's and cant get it in the 9.5's thought I maybe doin something wrong... Have you tested yours?

 

[Sirkevinofnelso]

What was your time on it?

Low 9.7..I'm not really good with mid engined cars.

Still a pretty solid time 👍

I can't remember my exact numbers but I know it needs gear work. I'm pretty sure it can dig deep into the 9.5s and possibly scratch 9.4s

Mhmmmm.... To the bat cave!

Nah I'm done tuning for the night. I'll start that adventure tomorrow afternoon. I'm not a tuning machine.

Mine was faster than VW Nardo which i did 9.515s
As i remember i had under 9.5 like 9.48 something like that!!!

Oh wow.. Did you use any ballast or weight adding?

 

[kleomenis5582]

It's been a long time ago so i don't remember bro
I think it was not with ballast but i played so much with
trans just to make it start properly due to great wheelspin
My launch was in 2nd or 3rd gear and maxed out at 158mph
Its not going to work with MR tunes just because it has so
much torque and very low that make you spin any time!!!
Try ballast with shorter gears,that can do the work just fine:tup:

I'll test mine afterworks and post time here, i know i tuned to max performance but i dont remember the time

I've heard that the Saleen doesn't have good top end, right?

 

[AKA I95]

completely opposite, it dose not have a good launch, with torque so hi and how light the car its = lots of spin with no grip and the suspension don't help much either

 

[kleomenis5582]

Depends what do you mean by that???
How much do you think is a good top end for these specs???
I think that almost 160mph is big speed man!!!!!!!

 

[KaroSVTR]

Yeah exactly im getting alot of wheel spin as well.

 

[viperbeatsvette]

Maybe a stretched transmission that only uses gears 2-5 would work better than a standard set up so there's a longer launch gear and minimal acceleration loss. Mock me if I'm wrong but it's worth a shot 👍

So it's sort of like the GT350R...too much wheelspin lol

With my setup the wheelspin isn't so bad. And decent top-end too. I'll get a time from Route X sometime today.

 

[kleomenis5582]

2 choices
Or launch on 2nd gear and a streched gearbox
Or launch on 3rd gear and have a really short gearbox of 170mph!!!
Both can do less than 9.55 but second option can do less than 9.5!!!

 

[AKA I95]

i use 2-6 and has worked awesome so far and no the gt350r use a complete unique type of suspension, i have never seen anything like that but my gt350r its on the 10.89X, i know i can make it faster but after seeing the miracle suspension of it and how long it took me to figure it out, i was really tired, as the s7 goes its suspension its unique as well but nothing like the gt350r

I played with trans and ballast to achieve 10.9 2 weeks ago for GT350R
If i had your susp it would probably go under 10.8 AKA!!
When i'll play again i need your susp setup

i actually wanted to make it a good competition for the 69 camaro but i don't think it can get there lol, i witch i can point you tips about that suspension but until car its fully tune and iii need to find other suspension relatives. the way that suspension works its like a new whole way of tuning level, after seeing ur gt350r time i thought you figured out too but then i added weight to it and wow way faster, so i stop there

Now I gotta try tuning this car again, seeing it can get that far into the 10s. What's the 69 Camaro running these days, 10.7s or 10.6s?

 

[AKA I95]

naw man my 69 ss with unfinished tune its on the 10.460 and i know my z28 69 camaro its way faster than that so i really doubt that the gt350r can be that fast

 

[kleomenis5582]

My SS '69 has 10.454sec with just a base tune and good trans and 1.11Gs
and Z28 '69 has 10.531sec with unfinished susp and 1.13Gs

I figured the standard SS camaro would be a little faster than the Z28 because of the extra torque.. but the RM model has to be pushing the 10.2s..
