Danny, you have done 60 in 1.61 in a rwd saph?

Fook me, you certianly now how to pedal an old barge about, i dont care what suspension setup and tyres you have, thats still good going, even on wrinkles that would be a respectable time by most peoples standards!

Got any details about the car?
Very interesting stuff!

No, that's Danny's 60ft time at the Pod, which is on par with super quick 4x4s .

Kev sharp and Steve Scott also have gone under 3 secs when timed by Datron as I remember. I think even the rapid1 realises that although his car is awesomely quick, I think the dodgy timing gear at Ford fair had alot to do with his 2.99.

Damn good time for RWD.......

To put it into perspective, most of the EVO's at yesterdays Haynes sprint event were after the coveted prize for the best 0-64 ft time.......

Most of the cars below were on slicks and MT Evo (Mike Threlfall) has 408 BHP with 428 ft/LBS torque:



Proper MSA lazer timing gear used BTW.....purchased and owned by the MLR Forum

I'm hoping to improve my 60fts by a atleast 1/10th with the car, its still running T5 and the twin plate clucth was bogging the engine slightly, so now boost of the line and a different clutch set up but soon a completely different g/box so the shifts alone will save time down the track.

Craign, no hoping required.

Even a chimp could get a 2.4 60ft time with your car, and thats all you need for a 12 in it.

Still slower than the Norris Evo though and he wasn't using Gas

I know that your new engine is alot more powerful though

I know I don't have to explain to you Rod, but in case anyone else thinks I'm digging at Rod or gas I'm not. Just trying to point out how MENTALLY FAST to 100mph Simon Norris Evo is
