GET IN (Mr. Dezzy) !!!
 

So, after 500miles drive back home from the Meet, I just couldn't resist to do what was bothering me throughout the weekend, a 0-60mph run and 1/4mile run.

So Mr Dezzy, if your 7.8sec (4.2) is something hard to beat , then not anymore !!!
A younger sister (3.7-the new 7.3 :D) just beat your record, lots of sweat but she did it.
Soooooooo, the drums please !!!!!!

6.9sec 0-60mph hahaha haha ha haha :D

Now, I'm off to have something to eat and a good shower, I'll see you chaps tomorrow +++
Goodnight.

PS. What a meet, I'm over the moon with the organisation, location and especially you guys, more to come in the report
Ahhhh, and I'm well chuffed with the 2nd place in Best D3 category especially it wasn't expected at all :pint:

VCDS is not that reliable as it depends a lot on tyre diameter(size and wear), for precise measurement you need either track timer or dedicated GPS meter. Phone apps that rely on GPS are not too accurate either, well maybe some or depending on phone are but not the ones I tried. For example on my S8 by the specs should do 6.8 but testing on phone the results vary 6.1-7.3 on the same app so average is about where it should be. Have not got full VCDS but that would be fair bit slower because I got oversized tyres with almost new tread

...and there it starts, ruining my run :rolleyes:

I know what you are saying, but I have to disagree.
Why vcds would be so inaccurate???? Date is read straight from the car's computer via USB cable, at least 1.3 straight into another computer which has a duel core cpu with 8GB ram just in case ;)
How would that be inaccurate when compared to lets say GPS app??
And to be fair, it says next to the time +-0.3sec, this is the possible inaccuracy in the range of 6.6sec - 7.2sec, average is the actual time measured which is in both examples same 6.9sec

Any way, just want to remind you that she has exactly 148k miles on the clock :D and I haven't chopped the roof off and taken all the glass out just for this run :D

+++

What about the back seats Marcin?..;)

Hand on my heart, I wasn't ready to do that straight after 500miles run journey back home, but i did took some rubbish out and half of a toilet roll as well :D

Sounds like you had a good weekend Marcin, well done on the 2nd place, makes me wonder knowing how clean your car is who got first???

So disappointed I had to be here watching a pipeline plough, (boring)

Next one maybe

Ahh but the prize was for the most desireable D3 and ditto D2 and that's a different thing than the best presented - for which Marcin was up there. +++ And there were some VERY desirable D3s. Tonupkid's S8 was classy but Marcin's exhaust drew eyes and ears from a 500m radius. Chuckletinlegs looked the dogs whatsits with the wheels and ceramics so its was all about the subjective desires of the voters. BrianG will, no doubt, post the winners of two classes if he can remember as I for some reason have forgotten :o

:ROFL: I never said it was hard to beat Macrin, what i said was i had the roof bars and box on the car at the time, i'll take them off and post the results for you here :p

yeah yeah yeah, bla bla bla :p
You said : ''The towel is down, i don't want to be the one to embarrass you...bla bla bla''
And don't worry, I was pulling a caravan on this run and took 4 ignition coils out to make it more fair :D

I'm just proud of her, she is doing well and if I look into gearbox remap I may bring this time down by another 0.2sec +++

Oh yeah, i did say that didn't i. i might have been fishing for a reaction there mate. Shame I didn’t get one :D

Ainarssems is right, +/- 0.3s is not very accurate. If you want accuracy best to look for a gps with sampling rate of 10 times per second, then accuracy should be +/- 0.1s
But, its good fun to be able to use VCDS, who wants to throw away £400 on a Performance box meter or similar.

http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=87905

the cheapest performance mod is to run with your fuel tank almost empty. If its a 90l capacity, you could drop around 60kg, which could improve your 0-60 by around 0.2s

Another big factor in this as you say Goran is weight, this is how the 8 looked when I did my run. I’ll remove it before I pick up that towel that Marcin threw down. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1402310725 :snigger:

:rolleyes: , still smaller (load) than a caravan I was pulling lats night on the dual carriageway when doing this run which was filled in fully with books :D and a smaller engine (than yours) :D

Try fitting the roof box to the bonnet next time, you never know, better aerodynamics may actually help you to break into 7.5sec :ROFL:

If not, then park on the top of a long hill and then do the run (with the roof box still fitted to your bonnet :ROFL:

:pint: for the 3.7s (the new 7.3) +++

I was pulling one of them last night
http://static.businessinsider.com/im...in-caravan.jpg

OK, I get the point, but if anyone will do exactly same runs via VCDS then we all will have accuracy of +-0.3sec, and lets don't forget that this is just for fun +++
...and to shut Mr Dezzy :D

PS. Dezzy, if you decide to to the down hill run to improve time, you may actually attach the trailer to the front bumper as it will take you down hill even quicker than without it +++

Lol! +++
I'm loving this competition, can we make another A8 meet out of it with everyone cheering the two of you on?

mutter mutter can't believe mine came 5th behind two 3.7s... the shame:o...... mutter mutter bah!!

I'd like to use this opportunity to say Thank You to everyone who voted me 2nd, you made me really happy and the whole thing came unexpectedly, massive Thank You.

PS. Brian, could you post the amount of votes each car received, D2 and D3??

Perhaps you should have opened the bonnet and shown off some chrome jubilee clips or something. Did NOBODY notice the classy black dice!? That was worth a vote or two! :p
I cant believe you beat me! What with the highly desirable, classy vavona/twist interior (so much better than all black) ;)

If we had a vote for who's the most competitive of our bunch, I think I know who'd win...;)

You beat me to it, I was about to comment on that......"Winning isn't everything, but it beats anything in second place"....as William C Bryant once said.

Marcin has it scribed on his sunvisor......:ROFL:

Humble thanks to those who gave my modest steed the "thumbs up"

Best regards to all!

Steve

I'm amazed I got 2 votes, and I promise I didn't vote for myself :ROFL:

Will now have to make an effort to get the rear bumper sorted out.

I'm glad the bonnet got the vote it deserves, obviously someone with taste and a great understanding of all that is 8. I’m not sure the masses realise how much time, effort and poorboy’s polish have gone in to get the bonnet like that.
You seen it at the meet first guy's another couple of years everyone else will catch up and it'll be the new bling.

I voted your car Dezzy. Your bonnet is special.
