Dark Horse A10 Stock 1/4 Testing

[ArabianOak]

Knew this car felt strong...very impressed with the stock power and great trans this car came with. I can't wait to install the whipple in a few weeks as well. Here is the stock 1/4 mile time via dragy...btw the car timer thought I ran an 11.46...lol.

Any plans for some dragstrip runs prior to the Whipple?
Really curious to see how it compares to my 20 PP1.

Question, does it have Michelins or Pirellis? And if Pirellis, what are your thoughts?

Ran a new best today. 12.1@117. Car is def 11s stock at the track. You can see in the video second gear hesitate because of traction control. No plans to hit the track even after I whipple. I like to use the dragy on the street. lol. But if it’s spin city I may try the track once Whipple is installed.

The dark horse with handling package came with the Pirelli P Zero™ Trofeo RS. These tires are insane once they are warm. I like them but they do kick pebbles all over the place.

Lethal just ran a 9.78 @138 in their Whipple DH.

Says stock headers, brakes, suspension. Full weight.

probably 14-15 psi.

our gt went 1.51 with the 3.625 pulley.

for the 1.4 on the dark horse at that weight. i’m guessing 3.375 at least. or 3.25 on ms109 or e30’with boostane

New best. Traction control off helped. lol. This is about the best it can do.

That was very noticeably faster than the previous video.

yes, same trap speed in every single pass, which is awesome but the traction control on especially the 1-2 shift was hurting it. It shifts early in the gear that it traps in as well...not sure why. Whipple will fix these issues...lololol.

Car feels great and is VERY close to my C8 for roll on times (60-130).
