I haven't moved past 197. I am not too great with top speed, or specifically drag racing. I usually tune for tracks and what feels right, never top speed. If anyone has tips, or would like to assist me in either A helping my tune, or B giving me a tune to learn from, I would appreciate it.

Currently:
1410 kg
Aero:F0R20
388hp
Trans:
2.366,1.528,1.089,0.816,0.643,0.532
Final:4.769, Top Speed 236-241
LSD is customizable but not adjusted
Suspension:
------------Front-Rear
Ride Height-(-)20-(-)10
Spring Rate-7.4---8.2
Dampers----3-----4
Dampers----3-----4
Anti-Roll----3-----5

The vehicle has all available options and is in R:S tires.
 
Or indeed no aero at all. What's your wheel alignment?? I'm no drag artist (apart from Wednesday nights), but I hear a lot of talk about toe angle in particular. I'm sure there will be some folks along to help you, so you might want to furnish them with these settings beforehand 👍

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go shave my legs ;)

Mine does 198 or 199 (I forget) on a tunnel drag run (from a stop at one end of the tunnel to the other end) and will go over 200mph rather easily despite not being fully broken in.

Main thing is not overrevving it. You want 6th gear to be at most a few hundred RPM over peak power (which I think is 6900rpm) at top speed.

Edit: I see you're at 388hp. It might not ever actually get to 200 with that power level, you're missing roughly 40hp vs my car.
 
I can get 205 with max aero and playing with the suspension (lower ride height and stiffen springs on both sides to the max)

Also max the tranny's top speed to 261 :)
 
Remove the aero, make the suspension as soft as possible and drop it to the floor. Zero the camber and toe and use as much of the redline as possible, as there's some really useful power in that region.
Haven't tried it since the update, but pre 2.08 mine was running 214mph over the standing 10km speedtest at Route X.

Wow. Pretty fast for a FF car :dopey:
 
There's a few FF cars that will exceed 200mph, but the Scirrocco does it very easily, especially when you consider the power level. The SRT4 only does 220 or so with a lot more power tugging it along.
