My R100 is crazy. Haven't been able to put the power to the ground yet.
Ran a 12.2 at heathcote full street trim, crap tyres, basically wheelspin first (waste of time taking off in first)
wheelspin second, wheelspin third, traction in fourth and fifth.
Heaps of fun drifting it but would pull some serious g's with traction.
Finally got some good rubber on the back toyo semi slicks.
I'm hoping for a high 10 second pass.
240 kw at the wheels weighs about 900kg.
sounds like you need some slicks or mini tubs to get the power to the ground. A 12.2 second car that wheel spins most of the way up the quarter would be a scary ride!
I really wanted to put a WRX engine in my beetle about 14 years ago. if it wasn't for the cost, i think i would have done it.
I've just chucked on some semi slicks now so should stick a bit better.
Yeah was pretty scary down the quarter, it's a real short wheelbase as well gotta be super quick, the whole car felt so light at 200+k's per hr.
I never really bothered with slicks, it's not a drag car, straight line's pretty boring, just wanted to see what it could do
I've seen a few wrx beetle conversions, beetles are super light, would be pretty cool!
