1/4 mile times for 172.

[D1CKY]

Does anyone know what times you'd expect to get running a 172 FF(my one) up a 1/4 mile ?

As i fancy giving it a go, but dont know what kinda times i should be aiming for :S

Is it in the 15's ?

Or 16's ?

Or slower ?

 

[JayGTT]

low 15's

i did 14.7 in my old ph 1 172
i did 15.2 in a 182
i did 15.3 in my brothers 172

 

[Big Iain]

best I could get was 15 dead! I dare say if u stripped it out etc you would get in the 14's

 

[TheJesus]

15's for a full fat, or 14's if it's a freak. Paddy's old one ran a 14.6 totally standard iirc, but that's the quickest I know of for a non Cup and non Ph1

 

[bendee]

i ran 16 sumin in my old 172 but i was spinning in 2nd and abit in 3rd no traction at all lol.

 

[davo172]

15.5-16 secs if its std mate thats what I always seem to get Most other std ff cars I see seem to run similar times too .

 

[Lagerlout]

Low 15's seem more the norm from what I've seen on here. A few have dipped into 14's.

So many variables in venue/conditions/drivere etc...

Crail... downhill FTW

 

[Timmay]

i reckon id get 10secs in my ph1

 

[Lee]

As has been said, low 15s. 14.9 was the best I ever got out of my ph2 172 and that was a one off. I could bang out 15.1s easily.

 

[db]

i reckon id get 10secs in my ph1

Especially with those 17s getting the power down!

 

[Alan]

Neil's old cup ran very low 14's IIRC..

Exactly!!!! lol!

Crail, if anything is worse! You have to avoid the pot holes 1st.

I did a 15.3 i think. 6.46 to 60.

Was that with spare wheel etc etc ?

Or everthing removed ?

I can imagine it'd be wild most days with the good old scottish weather

The strip aint full of potholes is it ? :S

What was done to your FF at the time you got 25.3 Al ?

 

[Ste 185]

Iam going to pod on 16th march thinking about taking car on hoping 4 high 14s! Ill post a comment when i have been.

What have you got mate ?

 

[Ste 185]

i have got a 52 plate 172 without cruise or traction, full stainless, de-cat, group n ecu, air filter, no bk seats or spare wheel, bin on RR got 185 at fly. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/399456.htm

 

[Daz Clio Cup]

i got 14.5 in my cup last year - nearly standard

hoping for 13's or less this sunday

daz

 

[Ste 185]

well im hoping to beat that i have done a cup in mine, it had exhaust duno wat else tho.

 

[Daz Clio Cup]

who or what are you trying to beat?

Daz

 

[Ste 185]

tryin to get in to the 14's just to see what my car is like

 

[Daz Clio Cup]

with your spec shouldn't be a problem, like i said i had a nearly standard cup and got 14.5. it's all down to launch and traction.

 

[tollan172]

i ran a 15.2 up crail 2 wks ago

 

[E-ray_172]

should aim for 15 at least mate. you get well driven cars like standard Vts/Gti's doing 15.2's all day long.

 

[D1CKY]

i got 14.5 in my cup last year - nearly standard

hoping for 13's or less this sunday

daz

What was done to it ?

That it was nearly standard ?


And whats done to it now ?

That your hoping to break into 13's ?

 

[D1CKY]

i ran a 15.2 up crail 2 wks ago

Do you have a 172FF or cup ?

a 15.3? You said the pink effort was quick and that's decidedly average to poor. If your Williams was miles slower then it must have been a terrible one, any slower would be valver/walking pace

 

[FlamingMonkey]

14.7 so far in a completely standard cup with all the trimmings

This car has 14.5 written all over it standard trim

Speaking of 1/4 mile, got the new dates for York through the door yesterday, prices have gone up again!

that's so the fire truck can be more modded while the surface goes to s**t even more lol

 

[Andy_J]

i got a 16.3 in my ph1 k4m...

I'm just finding it weird driving a turbo car, power has all gone just after 5000rpm so it's next gear early, it feels slow changing so early but going by the times it's quicker! means the turbo is running at full boost for longer too.

 

[Soulless]

Woulda imagined low 15s, high 14s.
My Saxo runs approx 15.3

 

[Lee]

As has been said, low 15s. 14.9 was the best I ever got out of my ph2 172 and that was a one off. I could bang out 15.1s easily.

Spare was in, but not a great deal of petrol.

Here's a link to the video of me doing a 15.1: http://www.rapidpants.com/images/gallery/motors/2003//sp140903/FTOvs172.wmv

 

[Timmay]

i reckon id get 10secs in my ph1

Especially with those 17s getting the power down!

dont bloody start! :rasp:

 

[Andy_J]

the pod looks so much better than crail!! the tarmac looks as smooth as a babys bum!

 

[D1CKY]

But doesn't the Pod get used for top fuel dragsters etc ?

And the guy ta crail is probably a tight arse and will spend no money on place.

Lol

Does anyone know how the 172/182's are at getting traction on 1/4 miles launches ?

 

[richlawson]

i got 14.8 in my 172 cup with viper and exhaust so around very late 14s early 15s

 

[Ali]

FCS...timing was about as accurate as using an abacus! Was above Average!

Like i've said numerous times....(Evidently your too dense to absorb it) The 172 was quicker above 80! And 80-90+ is 'about' the terminal speed of the 1/4mile. Hence why Willy's go better!

 

[fuzzi]

there not that bad. what speed did you all get up too at 1/4 mile
