by my reading, they were doing rolling start drags from 30, 45 and 60 mph. driver aids like traction control or 4wd less important starting from those speed. Also, with the power these cars have, the guy who gets the "bust" gets a significant advantage. We also don't know what rubber he is running. Truth - who knows?
How Fast Is A SL-C?

- Start date
So they use "Anti-Lag"...? It's used on a lot of rally cars. If that is true,, I hope they use some really durable turbos. Anti-Lag will eat a turbo's lunch.
The P1 weighs 3280 lbs with 903 hp
the 918 weighs 3600 lbs with 887 hp
Cody's SLC weighs 2600 with 650+hp ???
I can see the SLC beating up on those two sleds

I took mine to the local track on test and tune, last year, 8:92 and I was on the rev limiter 8000 which is 165 mph for a good 50-75 feet before the end of the 1/4.
Plus I slipped the clutch off the line for 15 ft, there is to much traction at the start and I didn't want to break anything, I don't think it would spin the wheels taking off, just probably break something.
Your shoes needed to be tied tight to walk at the starting line that's how sticky it is.
They kindly told me don't come back without a chute and better seat belts.
I didn't build it for that, but I did build it to go thru the gears in a city block or 2.
Getting ready to go to CA November for Sevenstock, a rotary engine event at Fontana.

Geez that is fast as hell.
Garry Just said he ran a 8.92 sec @165mph in a 1/4th mile drag strip guys!!!!
Do you realize how freaking fast that is?
SLC Vs. P1 or 918 is def. possible and I bet the SLC would win due to how strong the top end of the ls7's are...
I don't think many of you guys have done any current "roll racing" lately. But weight and HP numbers are adding up into the favor of SLC.
although I feel this post is a tease because the OP hasn't said anything and has no proof.
Garry, How much HP are you pushing in your rotary ?

:shocked: Holy crap that's fast! Not that I'll get anywhere close to that, but I've gotta take mine to the strip.
Cody,
can you give us further details of the runs? starting gears for each run and finishing gear and/or speed each run?
Warren Kreyer used to own Cody's car and he told me the engine was dyno'd at 689hp, however, I can't recall the weight.

Well you've roundly beaten this little guy by over 1 second Gary! Surely the benchmark for home constructed/limited production sports cars, and he was lighter

He reported that he was at that speed 50 to 75 feet before the end. :stunned:
The car weighed in at 2670 full of fuel when I scaled it 2 weeks before Cody purchased it. Not as light as I thought it would be.

Yes he knew it was a race, he did the honking and two out of three times he got the hit, but every time the SL-C would pull away pretty hard.
