He had a BA XR8 sedan auto. All usual bolt-ons, tuned by Intune Performance to the tune of 250 rwkw???? His best was 14.0 on street tyres. (Mostly 14.1 to 14.2)

There was also a blue GT-P all usual bolt-ons, tuned by Intune, best of 13.78 I think.

Also a AU XR8 doing 13.7's. The bloke was tuning it in the staging lanes via a laptop, but I didn't get time to talk to him.

Great job last nite Leigh. When you get a handle on all that power, you are going to be very quick indeed. (Even on the racetrack) LoL.

She felt a bit off on the way home, those short bursts weren't an invitation to race although you though it did lol.

If you can pull off another 2.15 60ft like you did on one run and get the rest of the run right you should do a 12 no worries on street tyres.
Looking forward to seeing that thing with sticky tyres and stronger c/v's should achieve some impressive numbers, and then the monster tune well say no more.
That last run you must have felt a bit slow next to that Pac performance RX2 wepon, was trying to listen how much wheel spin you had but the RX was so god dam loud.

I say it again you did well leigh good driving.

Thanks mate. Yea i thought i stalled my car after the burnout when that thing pulled up next to me, sounded like a lawnmower on crack :. I'll have another crack on street rubber to try and get a 12 then get something with alittle bit more grip.

Leigh, that green beast of yours is awesome...an absolute sleeper. Considering the street trim those times are very impressive.

Any chance you can post up a full timeslip?

Which one mate, i cant scan them but i'll write a few up if you want just tell me what one's.

Yea traction was an issue in 1st, still spun hard into seccond but it was quicker letting it spin right out than back off a touch.

Congratulations Leigh, good to see you enjoying the car, you have layed the foundation for some better times. get them nitto's on mate...
Club 12 is only one run away...

Geat effort mate in getting the car to the track. I can sort of relate to your problem with traction Leigh, more power to those rears with 1.8 tonne to push along can only mean wheelspin. The fix is stickier tyres of course, this means more stress on the drive line. You've got that bug though, the one that prevents you from seeing the impending carnage. Keep it up, I can't make it next Wed but the one after I should be right. Are you going back over the next couple of weeks?

Yep, I'm an addict!

Onr more run on street rubber then i'll be hunting for some slicks.

Great times Leigh! Dare I say with the grunt your car has it should do mid-12's at least once the slicks are on.

That was on the baby tune, even the big tune hasn't really pushed it hard. There's plenty left in this thing yet, getting the power to the ground is the aim.

Thats fantastic Leigh :, very impressive

Are you using a ripshifter by any chance?

Yea i have one in but it's come lose. The two nuts holding the handle in are tight as but it still wiggles back and fourth about half an inch. Anyone know how to fix this.
