(Enough excuses) end up running a best time for the night of 12.2 with a 2.5 60ft time and 123.4mph. the other 3 runs wern't too spectactular other than the 122-123 mph.Never ran a 60 ft faster than 2.47 but everyrun was over 122mph. So lots of room to improve the 60ft's and maybe a little more MPH (if the weather stays cool for the next Test and tune) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/46925-380rwkw-r-spec/page/4/#findComment-700895 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bitter sweet affair with the phoon running a PB of 11.4@123mph, then on the last run trying to better that time I managed to twist the front half of the tail shaft blow the center bearing and uterly destroy the tail shaft uni. enjoy the pics.

Guest Saywhat Guests Posted 20/07/08 12:40 AM Share Posted 20/07/08 12:40 AM Seems to happen a lot with these cars when using an auto. They usually just snap with a manual hahaPoor bastard but 11.4 is still a nice time sure to only get better.
