NO!! You are kidding arnt you.
Be serious the accleration times were done on 200mph gearing on my Dunlop road tyres. So no chance.of fast quarters or 0-60. The acceleration times over 100 will be worth waiting for believe me.

Danny the Drag radials didnt make the timing they was f***ed during the burn-outs because as drag numptys we had three times the pressure that was required . Chunks of rubber the size of golf balls came off & they were no more. My fault i didnt ask Andy the correct pressure. Your stab on the Terminal aint bad though .

Better not tell you guys, I reckon Rod might not appreciate it tell you what though it was bloody quick for two wheel drive.

WELL DONE Rod and Mark

Ive not read the post apart from the title, but ROFL@Title.

I reckon hed be lucky to get in the 10s TBH as the cossie rear end set up which gives loadsa camber when squatting is a bit shit for traction.

High 10s tho "maybe" on them 15" BFG drags.

If on road tyres then mid 11s.

High terminal speed tho.
