What was the half track mph on the 163mph pass was it in the same lane as the 9.1? Edited 25/04/10 11:41 PM by SPIKO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not trying to take anything away from the boy's effort's they are the fastest & the quickest by far however a 10mph gain out the back door equal's around 500rwhp at this level I am just trying to understand the circumstances... Most people make it a rule to use the right hand lane at Heathcote for this reason... Edited 26/04/10 04:07 AM by SPIKO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people make it a rule to use the right hand lane at Heathcote for this reason... No need for apologies SPIKO, the boys were purely there to test the Ba with the new 2 speed glide/convertor and gear ratio's for the first time, after scrapping the C series gear box, that car has never done a clean wide open throttle full pass from start to finish with all the power the car has previously made due the 3 speed C series trans smashing top gear, it could never display the potential it's had previously shown , the guys for the first ever on that weekend had no issues with the trans breaking, but they did indeed have major traction problems, with the power output of that vehicle verses it's weight the mph is very close, comparing against the dyno figures it produces. I guess they have some work to do with tyres, rear end adjustments and choosing the right day when our drag strips in Melbourne, have more bite compared that weekend, the Matoouk, Karam boys came and saw how difficult it was to display ET's close to there PB's in Sydney. I guess time will tell in the next couple of weeks when they test at Calder park. Edited 26/04/10 06:17 AM by D1A31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
