F Series N55 1/4 Mile World Record!

Stopped by the drag strip last night and broke my personal record! Ran 11.2/126.5 at 25psi on all season tires! Pretty sure this is the F series N55 world record!

Many thanks to Info@EnzoPerformance Pure Turbos dt20011 @Performance Design Unlimited

Congratulations! That is awesome performance!

Question: was that 25 PSI in the turbo or in the tires?

Very impressive...would be impressive to see how close to the 10's you could get with some stickier rubber.

My thoughts, exactly. You should be able to cut into a low 1.6 60' with the right tire, getting you right near the 10.99 threshold

I'm reluctant to try stickier tires, I'm worried about the transfer case since it's an xdrive. I do think it will be possible to break into the 10s with better air, better fuel and some minor weight reduction like pulling the rear seat and running with an almost empty tank.

Or with Enzo stage 3 turbo. Are you already planning on doing that when it's ready luminous?

Yes the stage 3 will definitely put me in the 10s! If all goes well I should have it installed by mid to late October, I'll be their test car for the xdrive version of the custom exhaust manifold.

It was pretty cool, about 55 degrees so I'm not sure better air alone will do it. This track is known for not having the best track prep so that could also be a factor. Honestly I wasn't expecting to beat my previous record so it was definitely a pleasant surprise!

How does your car drive on the street? Is it a DD as well? MPG?

Just curious.

It's amazing on the street! Yes it's my daily, I've put just over 52k miles on it in 25 months of ownership. Mpg varies based on fuel mix and driving style but currently for spirited day to day driving in sport mode on e70 mix I'm around 16mpg which really isn't bad considering 500whp+ on high ethanol mix.
