Or have they taken it 'beyond' the streetable level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or have they taken it 'beyond' the streetable level.This vehicle at this moment is being developed and dedicated to quarter mile racing, at this point it is towed to all any race tracks, it makes it easy too unload of the trailer and drive straight to the start line. To make this car street-able very easy (EG: fuel & Tyre change and fit cat& rear exhaust) STREET READY 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... I thought it was the right lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell at calder park.As for the intercooler it is water air not dry iceAs for the power figure you state you are incorrect, well past 710KW As for nitrous has been in there for a while only for trans brake/ burout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPIKO Gold Donating Members 1,924 Member For: 19y 7m 11d Gender: Male Posted 26/04/10 11:10 AM Share Posted 26/04/10 11:10 AM I would really appreciate my comments not to be taken out of context!!!! I am not stating that the car is incapable of this mph under the right circumstances, it's just that with our & others experience at heathcote the timing/mph variation's at this track tend to be all too common... Personally I hope Bill runs 170mph & 8's at Calder etc, I would be the first to congratulate and be proud on where this BA has evolved to, I hope that this is understood...As stated people usually use this track for test & tune shakedown passe's...
