5.0 1/4 mile time

[Genpire]

went to the 1/4 mile strip for giggles. raced a Genesis coupe, no idea the powerplant in it.

I ran my best time of 13.682 @ 104mph. this was my first run, not bad. the rest of the runs I was fiddling with my shift points and overthinking it too much and was running 13.9s

with the right driver and weather, i'm guessing this car can be a 13.3-13.5 second car.

with the other guys reaction time, you'd swear I bet the devil.

here is my 1/8 mile run before I went to the 1/4 mile track weeks later. I only got one run in because of cars breaking on the track over and over. I ran a 9.388 and whooped up on that modified lightning. obviously I could have done better. my wife didn't record my 1/4 mile run. womp womp.

Not bad at all. Shows this car is capable of 5.2 second 0-60 times. The 104 mph is rather impressive for this hunk of a car.

Are these results in stock form? No air cleaner or exhaust changes? Hard to tell but it looks like Empire Gray so yours is the exact same as mine.

I watched this video a few weeks ago and wondered if it possibly was a forum member. Not too shabby a pass.

Nice job!

Let's see if I can embed the vid...

EDIT - Nope, can't make it work for some reason.

Modified Lightning owner obviously didn't spend his money on drag radials or traction bars.
Congrats nonetheless.

That's a good time. Perfect conditions could turn 5.0 and maybe get a little under. Audi A7 timed by C&D at about 4.3, has AWD and weighs 300# less, rated at about the same HP.

I wonder what the AWD Genesis in Canada would run? Any Canadians give it a try?

100lbs=0.1 second.

Try running in sport mode with mirrors closed, auto hold active and tc on and mash the throttle and let that v8 sing.

^^^^
This.

OP, just to confirm, you utilized the paddle shifters during your passes?
Auto hold on or off?
TC on or off?

traction control all the way off (hold button for 3 seconds) although its not really needed as it never once wheel slipped. rear tires are way too wide to loose grip.

paddle shifted on the 1/8 mile run and shifted late on one shift....car shifted for me.

stick shifted (not paddle) on the 1/4 mile at about 5500-6000, by the time the car shifted the revs were higher. so I noticed I had to shift BEFORE the rpm I wanted to actually shift at. delay/laggy trans.

car was in SPORT mode on both tracks. mirrors open or closed probably wont make a hill of beans on this car...already pretty aero efficient with them open.

no auto hold as when you push the gas with auto hold on...it will turn it off. I wanted to load the motor up some first...so I held the brake and push the gas up a bit...then let off the brake and floored it. it just launched like a fool.

car is completely, 100% stock, even had the child seat still in the back. gas was 1/2 tank maybe on 1/8 mile. 1/4 mile was 1/4 tank gas. I did absolutely nothing to the car. I just was curious what the times were. I wont be taking it back. my curiosity is satisfied.

if I could have gone again on the 1/8 mile track it would have been under 9 i'm sure of it and my 1/4 mile time proved it.

I suspect you may have your best pass with Sport mode enabled, t/c off, transmission in D, 3/4 throttle off the line and then floor it. No using the paddle shifters/stick shifting.

Agreed. I have a 2012 V6, but during my timed acceleration tests I got better times easing onto the gas from a stop and keeping it in D. The 8-speeds, at least in its 12-14 guise, tends to bog down for a moment when given the beans from a dead stop.
