2wd (rear) 0 - 60 ???
whats a good time for a rear wheel drive cos , not including lee's lucky 3 n a bit ( only joking m8 !! )
i know what lees doing now , but there are the few exceptions to the average 0 - 60 rule for a rwd car and lee (and his motas) are one of them
so come on give us some times
ive been out doing a couple , havnt done anything like this for a few years now , used to get some good results ( car and tyres permitting) , the 1st was hmmmmm , the second was looking better , but am thinking the second hand umpteen year old uniroyals may be letting me down , didnt do anymore as for the local activitiy !!
have got recordable evidance !!

looks like the old girl wont be coming out at this years event, as all my funds and time are spent getting the eggenburger one ready,
but it will be worth it,
last year told me one thing my car is not slow but not competetive to be challenging for top places,
my best 1/4 last year was 12 dead with all runs in the 12 sec bracket and my terminals where from 115 to highest of 128
did six runs over 170 with a best of 173 @1.25 miles,
so i would need to replace the 3.9 diff to a more standard 3.6 racio and get the T6 and second map on race fuel to get better times,

How was that timed Markk?
So thats about as official as my left testicle then
its not that accurate
no to be honoust its acalibrated SPA digi speedo that picks up magnetic pulses from sensors on the front wheels - it then has a very accurate self time device thats pre-setable

I've had some great 0-60s on my STACK display as well.... 
If you wanna do some for real, I get Dan to bring the Datron GPS gear up next time we come up your way. Its very quick to set up and VERY accurate

0-60 4.3
0-100 8.1
Recorded by Mark at Cossie qualifiers last year 40psi in the Tyres as Topspeed was also being recorded , reached 181.8 in the straight.
Will be back at totb3 with a lot more horses so lets see what that does. 0-100 in the high 6's ? we shall see , will also be using proper tyres/pressure next time.

Maybe i need to borrow your silly suspension , i will settle for 0-60 3.9

i done 3.9 with with the car bogging on a T34
when your saph has twisted and rolls on 3 wheels we can try your engine in my car and run mid 9's at 140+mph
1.45 60ft is around 2.1 2.2 to 60. its 56mph at the 60ft mark.
