Dang Mikeg, that is a nice time, what were the temps? Any mods?

 

Bring down that 60' and I see a 13 in your future

 

I plan on going back this weekend. I am shooting for 13's.


I have a custom 3" exhaust removing the second cat, ALTA turbo inlet hose. Boost Tubes, and ALTA UniChip.

 

u goin on friday night @ firebird??? i should be there as well...

 

I know this is a R56 but i want to participate in the fun. My R53 with the S-lites and runflats:
60-3.2
1/4-15.5
mph-95.?

 

A couple different sources have found this to be true: Edmunds, Motortrend

 

There is less drive train loss with the automatic because the transmission is build into the engine. On top of that there are quite a few transmissions now that can actually shift faster than humanly possible, however I don't know if that is the case with the R56 MCSa.

 

Nah, usually the auto is losing more energy because it is connected to the flywheel through a torque converter, instead of a clutch. My guess on why it is faster is because you can launch the car after having already built boost with the auto. In addition to this, you do not lose boost when shifting, because you do not lift. That is probably enough to account for the differences in their times.

 

has anyone run an R56 MC? i'm curious what mine should be doing, since i've not got time to get up to the track.

 

umm..check page 1? also, I posted on a previous thread....

I ran a 14.4 @ 98 with a 2.2 60' i believe best with an open cone and dropped catback..not bad for a stock mini and no $$ into it..

hope that helps!

 

sorry, i ment to qualify that one. bone stock, non-s.

 

Mid 14's @ 99....impressive!
