youngy Member 293 Member For: 19y 3m 11d Posted 04/04/07 08:27 AM Share Posted 04/04/07 08:27 AM at the plex there was a 911 twin turbo with autronics computer etc and that was doing 12.1s. from memory he was one of f6 ute's mates. Ben and I were both running 12.1s that night also. At the end of the day in a manual car a lot of it comes down to driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngy Member 293 Member For: 19y 3m 11d Posted 04/04/07 08:31 AM Share Posted 04/04/07 08:31 AM No chanceI wouldn't be so sure, depends how well u can shift and launch. Abrand new ferrari f430 with the optional f1 seven speed paddle shift was at the plex and only managed a best of 12.7 with most of the runs being 12.9s. A 12.3 is possible in a manual t with 280rwkw, I'd like to see a m5 do that on the strip, I know bmw may claim that but real life is a different story.

He got me in 1st as I didn' think he was going to lauch it. I have 190rwkw's (14.2 sec no flat shifting) and had a passenger... he was by himself. I didn't flat shift either which makes a decent difference in my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manual does put a bit of a spanner in the works.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberley Scott www.australianflag.org.au Donating Members 6,763 Member For: 19y 4m 27d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 04/04/07 09:40 AM Share Posted 04/04/07 09:40 AM Mate the figuers say that what happended is on the money. I took on an old Ferrari from the toll gates in Brisbane one day. It is supprising with a rush of adrenalin how mechanically unsympathetic you can be to your car. End result was he did not even try, so a waste of time on my behalf, well not entirely true, sideways out of the toll gate and wheelspinning going into second and a chirp into third was fun. The feeling that the police would hunt me down afterwards was not.Anyway lets get to the point, these cars stock and midly moddified, make us Aussie type middle class blokes feel great, and apart from all the inherant faults they have, Ford Australia have produced a car of amazing capability at relatively low cost. I know I am going to get flamed, but the Mustangs became a cult car for this very same reason.However all said and done, us mere mortals in stock or midly modded T's have no chance against a M3 or Porsche, given that theses vehicles are driven by anyone with half a smick, in any race that reallies on the driver having some ability.Enjoy it whenever it happens, and when you get beaten, at least you know you put up a good account of yourself, and they had to spend a sh*t load more to beat you.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
