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)

Heavier AND less power. 
(I average low 1.8s)
Was it at Brunters?
I did a 12.5 there on a damp winters day
I still think you should be able to improve the 60ft abit with the right drag set up (don't ask me what it is tho, bar slicks). Not sure what the likes of Andy Nicholls 10sec fwd (probably on slicks tho) rover can do the 60ft in.

I would think Andy's Rover is around a 1.6 60ft?
Spanishfly - Adams Nova van is cursed to never run right. Just keeps having the most rediculous bad luck! The Corsa C is a very smart car. That thing can grip
Yeah its a little LJ, got more pics of it on my phone, just needs wiring a couple of bits of body work to put on then it can be painted
