📓 Journals Track Journal- JDK's DV Emira in PNW

[Dragoon]

I have a new discovery on the Emira. The straight line speed is significantly slower than other similar powered cars. A 718 GT4 has a tailspeed of 145 mph GPS on the straight of the Ridge Motorsports Park. A A91 supra has a tailspeed of 142+ on GPS. My emira has 136 MPH shown on GPS.
I don't know why... But I just bought the K&N high flow intake filters. Will report back.

It could be because the 718 GT4 weighs about 90 lbs less than the Emira. My Emira weighed in at 3,267 lbs stock with a full tank of gas and full PPF. I'm seeing similar GT4s weigh about 3,180 lbs.

The 718 GT4 is simply a faster, more track focused (and prepared) car.

Those speeds are all a bit surprisingly low to me. My Evo 9 does 146 down the front straight until I'm on the brakes for turn one.

Well... it was until session 2 because I was cooking the brakes and needed to lift an coast to have brakes for the whole session.
