it will happen mate trust me

It will happen, no doubt about it, but not as quickly as some were saying...

I mentioned somewhere on here 2 year's ago that we wouldn't see a 10 second manual for another couple of year's, and was subsequently shut down and I didn't know what I was talking about...

Well here we are, who would have thought it wasn't that easy...

Having been in the VL Turbo scene from it's inception, I predicted that the evolution of these car's would travel along a similar path at the Drag Strip, and I know back then there were quite a few VL's that were set up power wise to run into the 10 second zone in a manual, but the driveline's would never stop breaking.

A few guy's were going through an MX7 (VL Turbo 5 speed box) every meet!

Bottom line, expect a few "I thought we already strengthened that" day's LOL.

You're right Ivan, it won't be a walk up start, but Andrew is very commited

Pretty sure its a 4508 bud, unless the serial number is wrong or something like that...

sorry I cant get specs on exactly what there doin. I texted my mate who works there & is his car & he wont divulge except that the turbo cant be bought off the shelf. I do know the cranks been race prepped to rev its nuts off, block braced & all the good stuff is goin in. Have seen the pistons there enough to make a grown man :angel: I think there JE's & the HOWARD rods could hold a building up. It needed a new head because when it blew it took that with it but the heads been ported & they have done something with the valves??? Also there making there own 4" s/s exhaust & a pretty little nitto plenum is getting bolted on.

Told them to hurry up because I want mine but they wont start until his is done so we can pick the best bits & do a bee line to getting it done & learn from what they did first time around. I dont think I could live with itoff the road fro 15 - 16mths like he has. Its gonna be a monster either way but he hasnt made up his mind as to what box will be getting strapped it. Manual monster or something that's gonna smack it down the 1/4. It does have a brand new built 4spd with a 3000 stallie but it will smash it so its not gonna be used.

Just to throw a spanner in the work's, if that car from W.A with the Hollinger in it was to reset the "record", would most of us here consider it the quickest manual?

I know the guy's were actually chasing the overall BA/BF Turbo record in that car, having already run a 10.55 with an Auto a couple of year's back.

The hollinger would be in it's own class imo... It's a sequential manual I believe :angel:

[senna_T]

I figure if the car uses a Manually shifted box with a foot operated clutch then it will be regarded as the Fastest Manual XR6T/F6.

Stock Turbo classes can be put together later on, but considering the Manual Drag scene is so small, its all fair game at the moment

holinger on the street,fark yeah

[F6 UTE]

Daz has major issues getting that holinger to bolt up and be reliable as a package. It works though - no doubt.

And yes, it's a manual - just like a full dog box or something with straight cut 1-4.

He's changed his fone number and I have no idea how the car is progressing.
