1/8 ET - 8.6841
1/8 MPH - 87.54
1000 ET - 11.0172
1/4 ET - 13.1052
1/4 MPH - 111.11

Can anybody nail a 2.0 60ft? Is this realistic?

I have always thought (probably incorectly ) that .1 saved off your 60ft would be .2 saved off your terminal?

Its something a lot of people make an oversight on, instead just opting for more power to get a faster time.

Can't find the Santa Pod slips but the old nova up Brunters done these times

0-60 4.19
0-100 9.67
1/4 12.93@119mph

It had done a 1.91 60ft at the pod and a 12.5 @ 121 mph so possibly got close to a 3 sec 0-60 considering how poor the surface is at Brunters

For a shed on wheels it certainly was !

Non Ford though so doesn't really compare too well to the RST's but I am sure with more practice they will get the 60fts down.

Big turbo's really are no good when it comes to launching on road legal rubber, your going to struggle in anything like that if its fwd imo.

Surely a decent boost controller is the key here. Well I hope it is as its what Iam relaying on for my Fiesta
