Nearly all of the 4x4 motors I see don't hook up off the line that well.

Maybe its too much power or just the totally wrong setup for drag.

I read DannyB is doing some work on Keith Cowies Skyline so I hope he can show with that car what gains can be made with his modifications

Not seen that one.

Buts its one of few. Any videos ?

"Most" Can't launch for shit but make it up 1/8 onwards.

Pro Mods are mad Chip, under 1 sec 60ft must feel slightly crazy

I like both cars for what they are,

Simons is amazing and much like Martins,

I think Simons car is more traditional then Martins though, Stroker engine, squential gearbox box, heavily played with engine configuration and abnormal gearbox and thats in no disrepect,

How ever once Martin has finished the development work on his car i am sure he will give Simon a run for his money

roll on 2007!!!! Guessing, I'd say quarter simon in the evo is quicker but the other disciplines who knows. The cossie is blatantly one of the best looking cars about. And like someone said it doesn't look like a green bogie(sp) flying past.
Both are awesome but I'm on a ford site and I'm biased towards fords ironically.I dream of having a cossie like that
