Mine has never actually done a quarter but have taken a time during 0-200mph run on datron. With 640bhp off gas as that is only switched on at higher speeds would have been road tyres & pump. 11.5 @ 138mph. Geared for 217mph & on a runway its a shit time & others will have gone quicker this was back in 2004.
At totb1 in 2002 with about 480bhp we ran 13.2 @ 129mph over 500metres. Im told by the drag boys to achieved that must have hit the quarter in 11.8 secs or quicker that's fast for the Power im told. Sorry im not a drag boy my car would need drastic changes to be that.


Hers a vid of that run in 2002. Mark is driving im the Owner & the commentator has his knickers in a twist but watch the end for a very young Mark Shead looking like a young Cherub .
