I did only the 1/8 mile on wet streets and didn't get grip in the first and second gear. I noticed that I have my best performance in the 2th, 3th and 4th gear.
In 2th gear my car still spins in all direction on a wet street, only at a completely dry (hot) street I can enjoy all of my power.
But to answer your question, it was 10.4 seconds on a wet street, but my end speed didn't correspond with the others, I had 121 km and others with the same time only 112 km. That saying, I think that when the street was dry it gould be much better.
And with the 1/4 mile (on a other circuit) the didn't toke times. I was faster then a nissan skyline in that race(0-100 4.9 sec).
Horsepower is how hard you hit the wall,torque is how far you take the wall with you.
