I honestly don't think there is that much between the cars for either camp to be overly confident, should be a good day depending on work, I might even go up myself. I think the proposed date so far is 21st January 2007. So its still a while a way! Hopefully the T5 olds up ok if I do take it down the track Edited 29/10/06 01:19 PM by JimmyXR6T04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't think there is that much between the cars for either camp to be overly confident, should be a good dayMaybe the very confident owners are the ones that read Motors specs, raided the bank and ran to their local Expensive Daewoo dealer in pursuit of low 13's.Now if Motor isn't blowing smoke up everyones arses and are correct - F6 owners BEWARE!!!If Wheels holds the truth, then it will be pretty equal for the VE SS & BF T and the F6 will destroy the newbie on the block.Can't wait to hear the results...

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 9m 9d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 29/10/06 10:10 PM Share Posted 29/10/06 10:10 PM I did 7 runs in my totally stock (4,000km) F6 and all the runs were between 13.2-13.4This is with street rubber @40psi and a full tank of fuel. I had heaps of crap in the car and I weigh 140kg. Jim (f6BF) had the same car except he had a K&N filter and ran 12.9's all night. He would be 50kg lighter than me. All the runs were at WSID in 24deg track temp.The Bogan special owners must be kidding themselves if they think they would even be within a car length of a F6.
