My GT Performance Edition (GTPE) first track launch with videos, timeslip! 0-60 in 4.12s, 1/4 mile in 12.657 @ 100.02 mph

I'm going to get a couple 0-60 times today but I can't do a 1/4 mile. ?

1/8 mile is fine too, remember ?

Here’s a couple recent runs to beat:
Decent for a Slow AF sedan at 2100 DA ?

As a matter of fact, let's make all of them 1/8 to save face for Ford lol "it runs a mean 1/8 mile"

Yep. Better than going to the Nurburgring like Tesla did with the S Plaid the other day and ending up 12 seconds slower than the fastest ICE production sedan ? and about 45-50 seconds off the fastest ICE prod. sports cars. Flipping Civic Type R does a 7:43.8 for Pete’s sake. Where are all the Plaid clown roasts now?

This is the best I just got. 2 people in the car. 80% SOC. 70° outside and after a few other runs. Also brake stand.

Traction off, unbridled.

Pretty good 0-60!

Is this a GT or GTPE? I’m assuming PE since it’s faster than a GT claimed time.

Also could you do a few 50-70 run with no passenger? That would really help the discussion!

GTPE. Yes I can do that!

Get. The. Passenger. Out. ???

They can walk.

I’m sure you know that you can go into the Dragy custom data settings to set up the mph to mph runs and make which ever you want. They’re not in there by default.

And an 1/8th mile too ?

I did not know that! It's brand new to me.

Google “how to set up 30-50mph runs in dragy” It’s easy but you have to be connected to the Dragy to get to that menu ?? And then you can add however many different Xmph-Ymph runs you want it to capture in Custom runs

60' is good for a vehicle this heavy.
As with any EV, the consistency is there.
This is the way you are supposed to figure things out.
Start with what you have to determine a baseline. Make
one change at a time to find out what works and what doesn't.
As far as tire pressure, run as high as you can get away with without
spinning the tires. This way you will have lower rolling resistance at higher
speeds.
Adding weight to front end may help with traction but at a cost of HP.
Not sure if it is similar with cars, but, when racing motorcycles, we used to
figure that 10 lbs. added or subtracted equaled One Horsepower. I have seen
posts where someone has lowered their MME ( Properly ) about an inch all
the way around. Perhaps just lowering the front first to see what effect it has.
This may end up being an overall plus to lower the front tire pressure ( or stickier tires )
I have the Runt ( Standard battery, RWD ) so not aware of the additional
features on the GT or GTP.
As far as charge goes, Charge it as high as possible prior to arriving at the
track. Then, scout around for outlets. When racing my Electric motorcycles,
I use 1%~2% per pass. Unless you are just doing laps, you should have time to
recoup at least a little charge for consistency. The track here in Vegas has
some unpopulated 120V and 240V outlets that are accessible ( at least for my motorcycle )
near the concession area.
Congratulations and Good Luck

thank you for your bravery! This forum is a tough crowd.

Have you tried the launch method of 1PD off, holding brakes while pressing accelerator, then releasing brakes and jamming accelerator for launch?

At least I think that’s an optimal launch method for EVs.

and have you tried in unbridled extend? Consensus seems to be that extend slows down the vehicle.

only other ways to get faster would be drop passenger, skip meals, pull out anything heavy…

Oh I can think of plenty of other ways....
