Too many factors like tyres/tyre size or if you had a differential, launch control, weight, standard gearing, drag ratio etc.Quote:

Decent tires, tracking etc you should be able todo it in the mid 5 second bracket I guess. Think I got a French performance mag some where that had a fair few members from here in a mag feats shoot out at a proving ground with the timing gear fitted recording similar times etc. :)
I managed 6.2 seconds with only 150hp t2 turbo and road tyres at Rockingham speed way national day.
At pod with slicks and 200hp I would have said 5 seconds or below is certainly possible.
Nobody can prepare you for the pure grip with a set slicks at pod, full throttle launches and it's just grip grip grip then a broken gearbox:laugh:
There's a vid somewhere of me handing a 300hp+(so he said in the que) 4wd Audi s3 it's arse at pod, he was on those road legal drag slicks.

And in 2011 with the 2L at santa pod it will have been about 2.8. 0-60 isn't shown on the time slip of course, but it's not hard to translate one to the other :)
2.8...... That's insane :smokin:
I would be interested in how you work out the 0-60 time from a quater mile time slip?
Purely for bragging rights of course:laugh:
4.6 for me, same weekend at Trax when scoff ran the rwd.
:ashamed: I should probably click on the link above to find out:laugh:Quote:

This was in the van that weighs 920kg - over the ton with me in it..1397 c1j approx 220-230hp. 7.5k launch and strong head wind, resulting in 13.0 qtr mile.
This is the run http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=c...&v=-4ttrP0geAY
The grip isnt fantastic at york i recall 1.8-1.9 60ft times. At the pod i have done 1.7 and 12.66 qtr so could maybe go slightly quicker?
I'd say closer to 1500Kg!!Quote:

Not in a meg with diff you don't :p
Ill bed the new clutch in with a drop/sidestep
Pretty confident I have the mag issue of this day if not maybe both? Need todo more digging around my old room at my mums. :DQuote:
