interesting, you learn something new every day
however the point of it having an adaptive balance to best suit the conditions still stands.1/4 Mile drags...

Over a standing KM, there's very little in it between the S3 and the R26-R, so you'd probably be about right (25.5secs for S3, 25.9secs for the R26-R), but that's not 'blowing it away' which was the line I originally replied to. I'm trying to find some ingear times for the car rather than standing starts, but it's tricky as few places seem to have done them.

HTH
, and yeah, agree about the adaptive balance idea, but then most 4WD cars can do that in some form.
Yeah sorry I didn't mean it would blow your S3 away merely that it would keep pace with it.
Do you have the standing KM time for a standard R26? SHould give me a good comparison for my car (which in a straight line at least would keep up with a R26 without any problems).
Trying to find one, the F1 version is 26.6secs, but I can't find one for the standard car
As standard my car can do one in 14 seconds I think (if memory serves) - few mods can see it in to the mid to low 13's
Do you still have the Saab?
Thanks for that
. The standard car would I imagine be a couple tenths slower (the R26 is slightly faster to 60 than my trophy but in the real world this would be non - existant.
That was rather special though, what was it about 270bhp at the time as you never had the DTA mapped fully?
All of a sudden I'm starting to feel good about having a 0.4l engine 
1/4 mile time 12.94 seconds @ 101.8mph
Time to speed: 0 - 30 mph: 1.3 sec.
0 - 60 mph: 3.95 sec.
0 - 90 mph: 9.4 sec.
0 - 100 mph: 12.9 sec
Apparently... I'll have to get it timed when it's up and running again.

That was on the standard ECU.
Never did get the new DTA mapped due to a issue with the head and also change of job/life meant getting another car.
I personally did nothing to it, I bought it at this. Took it to a RR and it produced 209bhp. Pipercross CAI and Stage 2 exhaust were the only changes I was aware of. I wouldn't recommend either though, plays havoc with the ECU through constantly misfiring.
It was a very fast, loud little car
I'm sure an integra type r would have no problem keeping up with an S3 maybe even pulling away with a rolling start. I kept up with an M3 in mine.
I also had a 235bhp civic that ran 13.9 quaters and beat scoobies daily, as well as a new shape M3 the 320bhp model and faster than an Evo 6 from a rolling start.

i assume you are quoting book figures then, in which case good luck with getting them! especially on a motorbike where they normally have it timed using a 7 stone professional driving dwarf with extremely big cahoonas!
