arrived having never done a 1/4 mile run in my life before and did a 15.49...

then stripped out the rear seats, parcel shelf etc. and then got times down in the 15.2's to 15.3's...

best run of the day was a 15.09, terminal speed of 90.86 mph which I don't think is too bad for a standard car....

quite addictive fun I must confess...!

BTW, Coops did a 12.52...!! :shock:

ai chuffed with the 12.54@117, but with that terminal if i can sort a decent 60ft should see me into the 11's :shock: :P

well as said mate, the terminal is strong at 117, and i squeaked a 118.4 on one run as well, so thats 11's territory. just need to get some slicks and get the pathetic 60ft (2.14 was the best and that wasnt on the best run either) down a bit, if i can eliminate the wheelspin even in second it would be a massive improvement, cut 60ft down to 1.8 of something, laughing! :D

just had it RR'd today at 285bhp mate, and i do really need the slicks unless you have some top tips to get my 60fts down on road tyres????!!!lol!!

suction mount would be good, but alas useless, i dont have a video camera! :? :lol:

sounds like you have topped out potential on road tyres at that power best 60ft i ever got was 2.1 so looks like slicks are the way forward..! 118 mph terminal is :twisted: your 0-100 must be under 10secs :shock:
