TODAY: Stock V8R8 versus Supercharged V8R8

TOMORROW: Supercharged V8R8 versus stock V10R8 **** ADDED 12/29/09 ****




All 3 cars are R-tronic which completely levels the playing field when it comes to eliminating driver error. All cars launch from a 1st gear roll, all using 91 octane and stock exhaust and street tires.

Instructions:
1) Put the gear selector in A mode,
2) turn ASR off,
3) turb Sport mode On
4) then line up and
5) press the gas pedal to the floor and sit there while the ECU shifts through the gears by itself
6)watch the horizon get closer.

This should be interesting, especially since the SC R8 didn't exactly blow the stock R8 away

I was thinking the same, however, the blown car might have more of an advantage from a 50km roll on.

But that was only run to 70 mph or so. I'm sure the SC car would continue to pull away from 70 on.

The SC car blew the stock one away. It pulled by bus lengths! The gap between the 2 cars continued to grow at an increasing rate. If we had a better location and got a chance to get into 4th gear it would have been even more obvious.

To pull by 7-8 car lengths as we did requires a decent power delta especially when we did not even get near triple digit speeds.

The next video should answer a lot of questions!

that may be, but I'm just going by the video

Watching the S.C. take off using launch controll should be interesting. Hey Outsider any pics or video of your car around here?

I've posted quite a few, including video of me spinning out while doing the slalom. Surely you're not accusing me of pulling a DD

Wait for the TT R8
