Posted 01/10/04 02:45 PM Author Share Posted 01/10/04 02:45 PM Had a great night tonight. JB, Deek, Rod and everyone else made it thoroughly enjoyable. I'd also like to thank Jeff, its a great car buddy.I thought it was going to be a frustrating night though with lots of times in the low 12's and the driver not quite getting it right. I ended up with a best time for the night of 11.999@121.96mph. When I got the slip and saw the time I was rapt. The cars awesome but I've been told that I had some wheelspin in 1st. In the car I couldn't really tell. I did know that it got from 3000rpm-5000rpm real quick in 1st. The biggest problem I had was timing the 1-2 gear change. The car has too much power to leave it in auto mode with the transmission as it is. I'm thinking of having Kewish possibly strenghtening the auto a bit more.Below is a full list of all my runs.6:03pm 12.357@120.70mph 60'=2.1386:08pm 12.209@120.56mph 60'=2.0556:15pm 12.140@118.84mph 60'=2.062I was reasonably pleased but I really wanted to get in the 11's so I let the car cool for awhile.8:11pm 12.135@122.36mph 60'=2.062 I did everything wrong this run and it should have been my best run. I hit the limiter in 1st and changed from 2-3 at about 3500rpm. This was a wasted opportunity.8:49pm 12.029@120.06mph 60'=1.985 So close yet so far.9:26pm 12.121@120.20mph 60'=2.074 I'm starting to think I'm not going to do it tonight.9:45pm 11.999@121.96mph 60'=2.039 I'm over the moon.10:07pm12.088@120.67mph 60'=2.04310:18pm 12.451@119.45mph 60'=2.127 I think the car was a bit hot by now.Overall it was great and both Deek and JB also got PB's.I'd also like to thank all the guys that gave me support and encouragement. You know who you are and Thanks. Geea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys. I don't think the car could do a 10 even on slicks. It would require alot more work than I could do to it.I think all I'll be doing is having a bigger trans cooler fitted and getting the switch installed. That will do me for awhile. I might at some stage try and source some slicks for it and see what it can run on those.Geea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 02/10/04 03:56 AM Share Posted 02/10/04 03:56 AM With a set of slicks it would definetly be a low 11 if not better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazza. sorry turbo6 but that not correct. have we forgotten 100% already he ran a 11.91 plus the likes of aps and dynosteve....but he may be the first to do it on factory tyres which is a great achievement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
