so im annoyed that I feel like I could have gotten a better time, but I think its more so driver skill than the car.

Its always the way. You go away thinking that you should have done better.

But at least you did it.

Hit up the plex tonight, got a bunch of runs in but not very happy with my mph. Down significantly on my 2010 efforts even with the ZF rebuilt. Gonna have to get an exhaust (possibly turbo) leak fixed and hopefully that sorts it out.

Got a 12.123 @ 115.97mph with my best ever sixty footer of 1.933, that's something I was happy about. And to come within two tenths of my PB but be down 5mph is interesting (read:frustrating).

Got 3 runs with identical terminal speed...felt like I was at Racewars again

Not everyone managed to drive home though...flex plate I think from the sound of it. Have heard Phil's go, mine go and now Mick's. Just after we'd been talking about it too, sorry for jinxing you man!

Also check out how far an AMG bonnet opens...bloody vertical! Must be to make it easier to work on.

That deserves an oh dear for sure! (Mick)

This is what scares me about going down....that tow trip back to mine would be hundreds (but I guess that would be the same for you too Steve...probably more even lol).

Good effort Steve! I don't know how to dissect 1/4mile times, but at least the trap speed was consistent :)

Also that AMG bonnet is nuts!

Anyone know where I can get the flex plate sorted South of River. lol

It was going to happen, more a matter of when.

12.4 back to back with almost identical 60's footers and top speed to Steve.

Both these runs where in auto/ performance auto.

Went another run in Performance Auto to improve 60' time and tagged the limiter, Not Good!

Gear box is stock with no tune, so think a tune is on the cards.

Not happy about hitting limiter in Auto next run was manual shift when flex plate went.

All good I'll be back!

We chatted about that and he got about 30 thousand tuned kms out of it which is decent with 310rwkw IIRC. When mine went I was told it's often only 5000kms!
