Default G&D Jet 11.3@121mph

Guys went out to Heathcote was a few cars there for a test and tune day.
G&D Jet (Chris), in his XR6 Turbo went 11.30 - 1.65 60 foot....factory exhaust system.
mods being AVO Cooler setup, G&D Custom edit, injectors.
After this run it killed something in the drive-line on launch, he will be back.
Full street trim with M/T radials.
Congrats to Chris and G&D performance.

Brilliant time Chris with so minimal work done. Great 60 with the 4 speed and factory converter too, he knows how to steer after racking up a gazillion runs in that red sv8

Factory fitted self-destroying CV joints, take it back to Ford now and they will say there is nothing at all wrong with it

This car is a weapon, and Chris is a great driver, excellent viewing watching him launch it with the standard auto and converter.
