friend of mines model T does it in low 2s, possibly high 1.9s but it wouldnt on the tarmac they use at silverstone! 2.9 is wicked stuff so well done to harvey, might have to get me drag racing friends down to ford fair for this 0-60, be interesting to see what they could do.

for those thinking im talkin shite the model T in question runs 8.8s on street tires, keep your eyes pealed at the pod or shakey as andy is a regular

9s shouldnt b to hard to get, its light, 4x4 with wide tires and with a straight cut box im guessing? for a high nine your looking at around 135-145mph depending on the 60ft time! another friend of mine hits mid 10s in his fox body mustang and he only has around 400bhp and 250 shot NOS and his rear are only 9.5" wide rwd so i reckon your dads car would go low 10s high 9s straight away

well its 1180 kg minus driver at like 120

runs 240mm wide track slicks even for drag as it launches ok to be fair !

ffd dog box is amazing and now geared for 170 at 8k

i think he may have to change to 6th by the end of the quater which is a shame ! but hey

it ran a 10.3 at 137 on its old 600hp engine with no reaction time just a standing start on tarmac spinning all four through 1st and 2nd (part worn rally slicks 225 wide) so with the wider tyres power and gearing at pod we should be well in here

hopefully run some race fuel at aroung the 770hp mark in the car

easy 9s then! i spent alot of time at the strip over the last 3 years and have noticed with the 4x4 guys once they get the slip right on launch they fly but alot of 4x4 drivers gun it and slip far to much as they are tryin to boost up on the line

sayin this your dad needs no tips on driving, il be quiet lol

Yes hopefully before the good weather is up

Was at a infield track day ith a measured quarter and it's easy on for 145 upwards on pump fuel and 1.9 bar boost. With a good surface, race fuel and 2.2/3 bar we should see some good times

Iirc it fits in the STD tunnel with no mods like the sequential

They're around 9k from bara and then there is props and clutch to suit

They're very very good though the gear change is unreal and if your quick it wouldn't be much slower than the sequential version IMO !
