not too bad really.. this was my first time up a drag strip ever (in a car )
and i was only able to run it at 10psi as my boost is a little fucked right now, will be taking a look at that soon enough

right so here we go

Reaction Time = 0.666
0- 60 ft = 2.440
0 - 330 ft = 6.360
1/8 mile = 9.502
1/8 mile speed = 77.72
0 - 1000ft = 12.117

1/4 mile = 14.459
@ 98.26mph




im pretty chuffed with that, mainly cos i have never done it before and also i have the most crappy tyres in the world

Same as me snow dawg

My boost is also fooked, but not enough to embarress an audi TT driver on the Mway yesterday trying to act all pimp with his token blonde


Get some decent tyres and we need to sort out boost problems i have a problem also i suggest we need unky matt

work on your 60ft time and you could get that down to 14.0

get the boost problems sorted out and you should be easy mid-13's

yeah as soon as im running the boost i should be (15-16psi) then it will be in the 13's for sure.. just need better traction off the line.. some good semi-slick tyres will help

next year i will be posting some much better times as the car will have a lot of work put into it over winter.. to come back bigger n faster
hope to get into the low 13's or maybe even 12's
