Video of my attempt to beat Motorweeks 1/4 mile.

I give you a thumbs up for driving that IQ to a race track, and another for actually racing it. It is so small.

Id have to guess there is some way at launching it better for a quicker 60 ft time. I know nothing of CVT transmissions though.

Now add boost

Thank you for your comment and advice!

That's my plan! I am hooking up my CamCon cc-101 hopefully today or Sunday and trying to get the most out of 93 octane if possible (I know it's going to take a ton of time).

Thank you for your comment and post! I know it's a ridiculous car to run. My goals are to achieve a 1/4 mile run and trap speed similar to an old 02-05 Civic Si (I've owned 2) around 15.8 @ 87-89mph. They weight 2750lbs and have 160 crank horsepower (around 134-145whp) and full bolt-on breathing mods puts them around 160-170whp

My friend who went is a friend of the track owner, and I have the track owner on video asking if I'm gay, because buying a car like the iQ raises questions. Oh boy.

The CVT does let you left "launch" but the internal torque converter (does it have one? I've not researched enough) limits it to 2200rpms. I tried using the E-brake and just couldn't get enough revs up to decrease the 60's from 2.7xx to something reasonable like a 2.3 or 2.4. If I can get the 60's down, I should be in the 16.999 or lower area. I'm also going to try to decrease the weight and add an inline cooler (it runs coolant into the CVT to cool and heat the CVT) between the 1NR-FE and the K41b CVT to stop it from heatsoaking so much.
