Showing a car with low weight and high power with nos that does reasonable times does not impress me, however if your happy thats what matters.
The real question is does it impress you. ?
personally speaking im yet to see a nova that does impress me, I just don't like the cars.

As quick as that car was it was mainly due to the tires it ran, I can think of several novas that would probably improve on his time IF they used big slicks like that.
Still cant deny that its a fucking quick car though and very few have got anywhere close to his times
All of that ^^^^ depends on if we are talking about the same Adrian lol
That grey saph (Richard iirc) and TiB were properly going for it at the Central Day, very very quick cars !

Jon it's not, its some bloke around here running a high power xe on TBs. I don't know what power it is? Tis a quick car, doubt it'll run 12's unless he now has nitrous too.

Speaking of Gaz'd iirc he ran a 13.1 off gas with 218hp, I'd hope for the same if not a touch quicker from my mates tb'd xe which is slightly more power now.
A 12 is achievable off gas from a tb'd xe nova, quite sure your car Spanish could do better than a 13.4 but as you say you have nitrous so you may as well use it

Its defintately possible, Olly Hewitt ran 13.4 with 181hp and not the best 60ft's
Gav so nearly broke into the 1.8 60fts on 888's so anyone else in a nova "should" be able to match that which would see Spanish's car run a 12.99 off gas and a very low 12 on gas

What was your terminal speed on the 1/4?
Sort your front end grip out and you might hit 11s.
My jap crap has been timed at 0-60 in 3.7sec with less power (about 280bhp) and more weight than you'll have, but it still only does a 12.4
(ps it's done a 1.632 best 60ft on road tyres too)
