I like the supercharged v8 but seriously 350 odd kw with a 1.8 60 ft really should do alot better my 08 fg xr6t (171.600) ran 11.8 with 300 at the treads tuned by Nizpro that cost me $2200 and I still think there's room for improvement. Seriously love these things but wen It comes to torque and midrange u can't beat the t's. Get some tires and give it another blast down the track I'm sure with some practice you can get that high 11. Ps car looks awesome mate

That's a bit rough about having to get a 4 point harness. Maybe the scrutineer was a Expensive Daewoo nut and didn't want the competition.

I don't think they have those mph rules here, just 1/4 times.

I had my manaul gs tuned by pitlane performance in frankton ( victoria ) it made 380kw at the wheels. I ran down calderpark 1/4 mile at 11.95. I did have micky t et streets on the back. but at the same time my clutch just couldnt stand the power and it basically burnt out. so it went back in to pitlane and I had a mal wood stage 5 clutch fitted and a mal wood short shifter ... since its been run in now all I can say is VERY NICE .. Mick @ pitlane does a bloody good job

dont forget that you can leave the line with a heap more boost than a s/c car.

Ye my mate ran his standard black with et's and got a PB of 12.4 at 114 mph and his problem was the clutch so he wants to go down that road that's why I wana know me personally I'm a turbo man :-)

Yes, I saw this beast next sitting out front next to mine on Friday when I was picking it up. Looks tuff as anything,not over the top, the way I like.... and when I was told the power it made from just a tune...top marks all round

I got on the phone to the missus and said 'I'm looking at my next car'.. :rockon:
