Well guy's I did a 1/4 mile run a few weeks back, to say I was nervous is an understatement. I ran the car in its road trim, thats spare wheel, few tools , just over half a tank of fuel etc so its pretty much as it would perform on the road. I did run with the window down as I had my fleece on due to the fact they would not let me run with short sleeved shirt and it was fecking hot
These times will be bettered with experience, as you can see my 60ft's are a tad high, I sat on the rev limiter a little until I relised I hadnt broke her and that I needed to change up a gear ------------- BHP sells cars, Torque wins race's |

Excellent results Kev. You'll be hitting the 10's soon enough. You should remove the A/C, that should give you at leat half a second -------------
