Nah, it went on. I got a 16.1, reaction time of 0.604 for my first proper drag run ever. Not bad for a stocker. I'll plug in my scanner and post the timeslip but. Otherwise I can't prove it. Given I did a 16.2 with a reaction time of 0.2, I think I can probably crack into the 15's, but I'm not really concerned as of yet. I just wanted a baseline figure to run with before I start modding.

Oh really? Cool, I didn't know that. Sweet, well I'm going to go by the 16 second car theory anyway. Cheers for that. It wasn't too bad, but mate, after the rider fell off at 1/2 track, they spent AGES cleaning it up... I got fed up and went home. A lot of others did too.

Humidity was at 50% last night. The higher it went, the more time I lost, so I subscribe to that theory too. My best time was at the point of lowest humidity too...

Anyway, I won't be going back until I've changed something enginewise, be it exhaust, or other. Unless it's to spectate.

Hey, that sounds great. I'm very interested in that.

Here's my timeslip, apologies for the size, if anyone objects, I'll resize it.

Good work Ferris, good to see a Focus out there.

I'll be bringing my Focus along to the drags at some stage, but that will be for the fun of it, she won't run a low 16. Until my RS gets on boost, dial-ins will have to do!

Ah... I thought you were insinuating 2 litres needed to 5 litres! Yes, 2 litres...

Better hope that Typhoon is modified then! :Reverend:

Well, just jokes at this stage, alot of people talk alot of crap with no results, so I'll wait till the car is on the strip to start that.
