ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 10m 9d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 13/04/05 11:04 AM Share Posted 13/04/05 11:04 AM Brian,I was reading in Unique Autos that the record speed in Australia for a V8 Supercar is 313km/h on the saltflats in S.A recently. Previously it was 301km/h by glen seaton.I think your car would crap all over them and when you are done 350km/h+ you can drive it home with the missus and the kids I would offer my services to drive it if you wont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in no rush; this is a spare car.... but I would really love a drive.... and the car will be treated with the utmost respect.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be sourcing much stronger versions from elsewhere shortly, and am currently investigating.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I love it!So when are you thinking of putting some times down? Either down the strip or around the track.I would love to see someone like Marcos Ambrose give it a squirt around a track somewhere, and then to see his face after! Would be great!You do really know how to make someone envious don't you!Good luck and I can't wait to hear more intallments of the development of this monster!Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
