Why the hell is my car so slow

And wait, what were you doing with the traction control button?

Oh I pressed and held it til it dinged, no issue there.

Do you have the ESC OFF enabled or just ESC Sport?

Of course if you take @El_bigote_AJ 's rabbit with sticky 265s in the front we're all getting the smoke

Wait, what?

I wonder if we can change this sound with OBD or something. I wanna change my to a toaster ding.

Isn't your car still in the shop?

No you can’t, but like really, you can’t. Stage 2 IS38 FBO golf R’s get walked from a 50MPH roll, and by a large margin. Have you gone for a ride in a hybrid car?

Bigger turbo pumpgas car will have to go a lot faster to beat an is20 on E85 in a roll race, even if both react at the same time the is20 car will move out quicker probably putting 2 cars on the other before being reeled in.

Say that to actually call the bigger turbo car the winner it has to atleast go 120 past the is20 that is going 110, or to put it in Dragy terms a mid 9s 60-130 vs 11s.

I think it's time for me to ask how I run e85.

You can run E30 on stock fuel system and get close to max timing advance with safe boost curve, needs atleast HPFP to run E85.

Does that mean like a splash of E30, or I can run a full tank? I don't know anything about E-blending, but it's my next project.

Late to the party! - yeah man while yes you’re not on a hybrid you’re still on a turbo that should be shining above 6k, my car keeps pulling harder till 7100 when I shift (when hooning). Also when I’m roll racing or pulling I rarely brake boost… I just make sure my rpms are over 4k so all I’m waiting on is the true spool up when I hit the gas Vs waiting to get it to the right powerband, I don’t mind having to shift quicky into the pull cause MY SHIFTS QUICK SON I don’t really looks much acceleration through them.


Funny enough the past 3 months I’ve been running 225 fronts instead of the 265s still same sticky tires, and at least with summer pavement, straight line wise is not a huge difference in traction. Which means - 2nd gear spins to 6k

3ish gallons. DO NOT run full tank or even half on a stock fuel system.

Righjt, but that’s not what we’re talking about. Pump vs pump.
