took my Coupe to Santa Pod yesterday, did 4 runs managed a 13.20 @ 107.11mph

interested to see what others have done, thought that was pretty good, my old Chimaera 450 best was 13.44 @ 105...
 
That's a great time, I managed a 13.9 when I went the other year, the track did seem very slow that day.

Looking at my old posts my best run was 13.9s @ 101.33mph, with a strong headwind.
 
no it doesn't give you 60mph or 100mph times, it does give you 1/8 mile, as i recall if was 84/85mph at the 1/8, can't remember the time, i guess this would give u an idea of the 100mph time....

yeah there was a slight tail wind which is pretty rare at the pod dunno how much influence it has though, the track did get alot quicker during the day my 2 morning runs were both 13.4x

i manged to get the 60ft time down to 2.11, my tires are right down to the legal limit though, i'm not sure if that helps or hinders really

I think it makes a fair bit of difference, I did my runs at the BMW show and your time was quicker than just about any car there except for an E60 M5.

I was certainly trying, but didn't try any tyre warming seeing as it had pretty new boots on. I just had a look and found the timing slip, I got the 60ft time down to 2.25s in the end so not too far off yours, a bit more practice would get it under 2s I would think.

A couple of pics from when i went
