I doubt that he didn't get into top gear. I hate it when a car does a great time and then people say, "it wasn't on full boost", "the clutch was slipping" or it missed a gear".

excuse if i seem rude but please quiet in the cheap seats and shut up.

i was there and i saw the run in person so believe me when i say he didnt get into top gear and he did back off.

and was far from a perfect run.

to be perfectly honest i was dumfounded when i saw 7.92 on the board as i thought it didnt look as fast as sum of his previous 8 second runs.

The man himself said he didn't get into top gear - they don't have a reputation of talking shit (maybe this is common in Oz???).... 256kph trap speed when they usually run 270+ is an obvious sign. Apparently they are working on what went wrong with the box with the intent of running tomorrow. I guess that will clear some stuff up??

They've already done an 8.033 @ 172mph already - so no matter what way you look at it, a solid seven second pass is inevitable... if not now, with the new motor.

The car has already run a 7.9@162MPH (backing off).

    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
    • Wow! how times change 2017 $15k seems expensive... now $30-$50k is the price.
