Still traction is key and the Focus that went 14.2 @ 102 had me scratching my head .. NO way could i put power down last night ...

That MPS is a slug, I thought they had more go than that. My Mini Cooper S with a JCW engine tuning kit (141 kw) ran a pretty consistent 14.5 although take off was razors edge between bogging down and wheel spin due to weight transfer and FWD.

Is the Fulcrum lane the right lane?
I ask cause I was the one driving the xr50T and I did four runs in the right lane all in the 13.4's and one run in the left when I did the 13.1.
60ft time went from 2.25 in the right lane down to a 2.099 in the left.

Ok, so other things happening, I was surprised at the 15.3 as I know the MPS standard is capable of better than that.

Lane issues still does not fully explain it though, another driver experienced .02 between lanes, not 1.5.

Although the Nankangs might have a lot to do with it, you might as well use cheese as tyres, for all the grip Nankangs have.

Just looked at the photos and was curious, did you remember my plate or am I missing some of the photos as I can't read the plate in the pics.

BTW, the big rig did an 18 flat I think!!

Test and Tune most wednesday and saturday nights, from memory about $40 with a guarantee of three runs (normally more), they give you a pass if rain or an oil down restricts your runs.

I dunno , i ran consistently high 1.7 to low 1.8's on my Nangkangs before i bought some ET street radials ... They arent that bad ...

FWD though , not cool even with Great Rubber .

Good effort on the 13.3 stock . I would torch a GT-P if i owned one . Been watching them run 14's and just into the 13's for years .... Absolute rubbish imo .

Supposed to be top of the fleet in performance , handling and braking .

Someone forgot to tell ford i think,lol .
