Is there not a pic of that guys Saph 4x4 launching HARD somewhere... think he's still a member on here, was called Rapid1 or something like that?? Just remember him putting pics of his car doing a sub 3 or 4 second 0-60 run and the car was squatting like a bastard.

How does it measure from 5-60 mate... (genuine question)... does it measure once the car passes thru a timing beam after its launched?!

Or do you mean that the trax timing gear is wanky and its 0-60 reading it more like 5-60 reading from more reliable stuff??

my old 2.9 tt used to launch like that. on koni springs and dampers the tailpipe used to hit the foor on every run. 5k rpm and dump the clutch, used to get caught at 3/4 track though as it was only 250hp.

I think the shade makes it look like wheels are coming up.

It would lauch faster with harder suspension setup.


Launch a 17 year old std pulser, then your see dramatic front lift.
