How to unlock the Purple Split! achievement in Forza Horizon 4 - Definitive Guide
A bit easier method if you press and start looking for a rival who posted a worse time than the recommended one. You can use filters too if you wish. I managed to find a guy in the Horizon Festival Drag Strip who posted a time over 2 minutes. Choosing him will provide you this achievement a 100%.

This can actually be unlocked in the Horizon Festival Drag Strip, which is unlocked after you qualify for the Horizon roster. In drag races, you're just going in a straight line, so you don't have to worry about keeping it between the lines and posting a "dirty time".
Go to the event and upon entering it select the fourth option, "Rivals". I personally did it on the third configuration, which restricts the car class to S1. In case you aren't familiar with drag racing and want to get this out of the way asap, I've shared a drag tune for the 2008 Viper SRT10, which you can find by searching for my Gamertag, or by typing "Purple Split" in the description.
The rivals that will be suggested to you, are usually only a few hundreds quicker than you, so a good launch and not missing a gear (if you're using a manual transmission) will allow you to beat them and since you didn't go off the track, your time will be "clean" and the achievement will pop.

This is exactly what I did and I had the achievement (which is a rare one) in 9 seconds.

Hehe, thanks for the comment!
P.S. I got it in 9.7 seconds, you're better than me at this!

You don't need to worry too much about the tuning of the vehicle, but go to the Festival Drag Strip, select Vs. Rivals (the 4th box), there will be 3 courses that are exactly the same, so select the first - the suggested Rival will do as it's someone who will be close to a Drag Strip run
Do the first run and it doesn't matter if you beat them or not, but it will post a Vs. time to the leaderboard - go back to the Drag Strip event, select Vs. Rivals again and press to change Rival, and press to change the filter to "Near me" - the cursor should be on your time, so just scroll down to someone slower than you
Now just re-run the race, you should beat them, and get the Achievement!

Using the Drag Race event at the Horizon Festival makes this achievement easy. Since this is a drag race it will be difficult to get a dirty time. Choose a rival and try and beat his time. As soon as you do the achievement will unlock.

This refers to the VS mode, available in almost every race. You will be placed in a pre-arranged vehicle and asked to beat the other player's time. The timing is quite dull, so there will be no difficulties in winning. You need to ride cleanly, that is, do not use rewind and do not hit the car against “heavy” elements of the track, such as buildings. Destructible elements can be rammed. If you screw up a clean race, a threatening warning will pop up on the screen, don’t miss it. So if you catch something and are not sure, move on, everything is fine, it’s impossible not to notice the warning.

Easiest and fastest to do on a drag

The easiest way to get this achievement is for drag near the festival site. There you need to drive 400-500 meters in a straight line without buildings in less than 6 minutes
