0-60mph, etc - Put the Draggy in my Jag Ftype R for the first time
So I have owned my Jaguar Ftype R for around a month and a half now and decided to see what the Draggy says about it.
This was a "no drag racer tricks" type of run. No pressure taken out of the tires, no weight at all taken out of the car, no sticky chemical on the tires, heat soaked a bit from driving around, could only launch around 1,500rpm as it was going to spin anything above that on the street. When I go to the track it looks like the most the car can be launched at is 2,200rpm or so and that will be pretty crazy if the track can actually hold it on these street tires! I'm excited to actually get this thing to the drag strip to see what I can get it to do. I only did an 1/8 mile hit for "cop" reasons but I know drag racing and such enough to know about what it's going to do in the 1/4 ET & MPH. At this level it is going to be right at 4 seconds additional and right around 24-26mph additional. I should be able to get a bit more mph with a cooled supercharger and more revs on the hit.
0-60mph at only a 1,500rpm launch and heat soaked engine from driving around still netted 3.41 seconds. I did try 6,000rpm shifts too just for fun and it was about .3 seconds slower. The perfect run is going to be shifting at different RPM per gear as each gear has more drop then the other and it just needs kept in the most efficient power range.
Lots more to come after the initial track baseline and then dyno baseline.

I took the Jag out to dinner tonight and figured I would try a 0-60 hit. Had a slight incline but the highway I was on hooked better and netted 3.30 seconds to 60. I know there's at least a 3.2x in it somewhere....might squeak a 3.1x at a sticky track where I can give it a bit more with no spin.
For reference, the last post where I did the 7.36 1/8 it did 0-60 in 3.41 seconds.
