I agree. I even asked the guy I raced if his run was consistent. Admittedly had a long down time and I actually stalled it up instead of leaving off idle. I watched speedo for all runs and was consistently in 145-150 range and that run was 160is which is only really a few mph increase...
A timing error? And should be 95mph and 15.038?

maybe something triggered the beam, to pickup 1-sec and 10mph you'd need around 100hp in a 4100lb car at that speed. i've raced against and know a few guys with BA-FG NA 6's over the year's, i think the quickest stock one i can remember just dipped into the 14's, 15.0 is still a great time, especially with the extra's in the boot

even with those mods, might have an extra 20-30hp. stock as a rock i think they run 15.2, a couple mods and low 15, very high 14's. i used to get asked by the NA Falcon boys what i have done to the Aurion (14.6@97 best, 1800kg) i tell 'em, ''i just fill it up with fuel''
i went for a drive in the new FG EcoLPI the other day, the 200kw LPG Falcon, very impressed it had some balls. |

I recon the beams must of been trigged 105mph is higher then the fastest BF ZF which has a built motor and the works.
Paulie Aurion is the slowest Aurion I have seen lol, mind you its got a extra 100kg of fruit and the driver is no jockey! |

Not sure how that would work, but if that was the case wouldn't et/mph be same for both lanes?
Ps I left first and VL played catch up till half track then smashed me top end, crossed about a car length his tail to my nose ahead. One of those mysteries I guess?

My last run the slip read 110+MPH half track and 100 at the end, but there was heavy fog. I can't recall any poor conditions from your run but who knows what can trip the beam the wrong way.

FPV GTHO, were you at the track on Wednesday?
As a side note had an annoying exhuast rattle last 6 or so days, finally got down to Liverpool Exhaust this morning, then new metal cat was shagged, its contents rattling around. New one fitted (warranty - cat back only a few weeks old) ALL good now.
