Guest esky Guests Posted 30/12/03 09:48 PM Share Posted 30/12/03 09:48 PM Im sorry I wasn't clear enough, but it's so f#^king boring to see 200 LS1s driving in a straight line for 400m. And you know what, I'd find 200 XR6T drag racing boring too.

Both sentiments are reflected strongly in each companies marketing. Not a criticism, just an observation. I wouldn't mind discussing this point. I'm not saying I disagree with your comment. Can you expand on your comment a bit more?BTW good luck in lion territoy.

There are numerous motorsport events held by HDT/HSV clubs around Australia but very few by the Ford guys.People, your car doesn't need to be modified - just compare your times to other like vehicles.I turned up to a HSV/ Monaro/ Late model camira club drag day and I was one of two Fords out of approx 80 cars. When the unmodified T ran a 13.95 pass they were all impressed, especially when compared to other standard cars that were there.If you think your car is better than their's then get out there and show 'em.

I dont think that's the problem. A 1/4mile time doesn't mean you're better.I think people just dont want to thrash their (sub 12month old) car.

I'm hoping to be there, it should be great fun with a lot of nice cars. It would be good to get a few "T's" to Heathcote to see how the various stages of mods compare to similar stages of develpoment on the holdens and imports. Geea.
