Whats amazing is that Simons 60ft times are 2's something!!! Even the Sierra was doing 1.7's. Can you imagine what the Evo will do when it hooks up!

It reminds me of a *moment* I had in a Z4M coupe last night in the rain

What other times for the Sierra - as in standing quarter?

0-100mph in 4.95 secs.
LEGEND
Sierra just did a low 7 on 1.5 bar... Renton doesn't know how to turn the boost up though the flid

UPDATE..........From Simon's post on the MLR:
We hired Santa Pod Today to do some testing and in an attempt to improve our times (probably stupid considering its late December!)
Well we had MAJOR traction issues due to the cold weather, 15-20Mph head wind and the second triple plate clutch in a week gave up after trying to tame 739LbFt! (Quad plate next!)
Results were;
60 Feet: 1.734 Seconds
Best ET: 9.556 Seconds
Best Terminal: 158.31 Mph
Best 1/8th Terminal: 126.78 Mph
0-100Mph: 4.95 Seconds
0-150Mph: 8.83 Seconds
The above returns all UK Evo drag related records back to ND!
We have learned a lot from todays testing and have some more changes planned to finally catch our 8 second quarter next year. These times were recorded using full treaded Nitto 555R tyres.
Cheers
Simon
p.s. Premier will have some great video shot from 4 different angles ready for the weekend!
