Straight line (drag) racing is for ...
corner to corner racing is where the skills are.

Agreed. That's why iv only did Killarney drags once. And that was just for a laugh with a mate who just got a new car. I'm gonna test my plumbs on the 1st at a trackday. Will record some footage

I do it multiple times whenever I am behind the wheel. Might is well keep tabs on it.
Anyways, that 9.4 is only 0.7 off the claimed 8.7 my car should do, and I don't do launch control so I am happy.
Although I doubt the HP figure is correct.
Car specs here.
My quoted power is 162kw. I got 155kw on a stingy dyno. That's pre software/DP.
I did match the 0-100 though.

I am extremely weary of any mods on this car.
1) The 1.6t engine is a variant of the 1.6 I had way back in on my 2001 Astra. Sure, the Borg Warner K03 turbo is the size of my fist that gets hammered all the time. Even on my old N/A 1.6 I had to do the gasket at 200,000km.
2) That Opel / Alfa Romeo / Fiat M32 gearbox is a borrowed time ticket for me. I hope it announces it depart well in advance so I can pull out.
I liked my first one and it went far, the most reliable is probably the most boring with it's 4sp Toyota autobox - but this turbo 6sp will be either my end or my last.
I nearly did a revo on my polo gti. The 1.4twincharged turd of an engine. Glad I didn't. Thing are oil and piston 3 went boom (in warranty)
Currently I'm running a nismo 1.6T thats bulletproof. Easily do over 200kw on a hybrid turbo. Limiting factor is the gearbox. So I capped my torque well within limits.
