Just ran 10.9s in my 2012 GTR

MC · 03-10-2012, 04:15 PM

For almost a year now ive been obsessed with hitting reaching 10 secs in my 2012 GTR... it all started last june my first attempt didnt fair so well as i ended up going on a hot and humid summer day with a DA of 2646 and less that great track prepped... even then i managed 11.2's all day with an impressive 125.5.... i didnt get a chance to return to the 1/4 until today... however this past winter i stayed at it on the local 1/8th mile... putting up a 7.006@102.9 (1..62 60ft )100% stock... i knew this was good enough for a 10.9 sec run and i ended up installing a stillen midpipe on the car... i went back to the 1/8 and ran a 6.995@102.4 ( 1.603 60ft)

so today was my chance to prove the car could do it... i admit i really wanted to do it without the midpipe but i wasnt going to uninstall it to prove a point so

first run today was against a Z06... i used R C R and Auto mode (i always use auto mode to lay down a baseline time taking myself out as a variable) i came off the line insanely hard...best run of the day but the timing light was not working so i had to wait another run for my 10.9 attempt... that run had to have been my best of the day... i can only wonder how deep into the 10.9s it was

second run was against a fully drag prepped older model mustang... i used R C R Manual this time and got a ok launch off the line..... as soon as i shifted to 2nd the clutch overheat warning came on...but it didnt pull power so i just stayed in it the rest of the run.....and there it was a 10.96@126.2 even though the 60ft was a average 1.69

3rd run was against a Grand Sport C6....... ( i could hear him engage launch control lol) 10.95@125.5.... a small improvement on the last run.. again used R C R Manual and got a similar launch to the previous run and again clutch overheat warning but no limp mode..so i figured what the hell and stayed in it...

track prep was decreasing but i decided to run one more..
ended up with a 10.98@125 with a bad launch of 1.72 60ft ......

all in all im happy that i pulled off 4 10.9s in a row ..... after a few seconds of rejoicing i started to analyze things like i do and decided on a better track prep there is more in the car..... im not sure a 10.89 is possible or not but i might be shooting for that later in the year

slips and vids

10.95

10.96

10.XX timing light error...but my first and i think best run of the day vs Z06

Man those are great numbers. What do you think you can do to improve it?

i drove one last week. it only has 15 more hp than the 12 so maybe a tenth... my 2012 with the midpipe i think is equal

kenchan · 03-10-2012, 05:18 PM

Sweet!! That car pulls so hard!

Congrats! (I was NEVER able to get LC on my Z06 to work, btw. Do you know the GS's 60' time, out of curiosity? Is it a 1.9X that I am looking at? Pissed that my LC never worked. Followed procedure to the letter and it just zinged toward redline.)

TerribleONE · 03-10-2012, 07:11 PM

Awesome numbers! May I ask why you don't want to tune it?
