Default 137mph 1/4 mile with Nankang 245's

thought i would put this up as it's a pretty good laugh n pretty crazy also, a mate took his 6-speed VY SS with a twin turbo LS motor out to Supernats for some ***** n giggles, car was in full street trim and weighed in at 1993kg. varying between 15-18psi the car ran between 130-137.5mph on a Nankang 245, full stick it would spin the tyres like crazy, so he was doing easy shifts and feathering the throttle ran a PB of 11.3 with easy 2.1 60's, auto and radials this would very comfortably run 9's @ 145mph.



video of one of the passes, did 12 passes in total before officials told him that was enough http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS7B_xT95OY

Brave lad racing a monster on those poor excuse for tires. Bit silly really, but makes for a cool story I guess.
