um... yes.. you are correct. It's obvious you don't bother reading the forum much as you would have a clue as to who I was.
Reading all your posts, all you do is criticise... if you can't do better than that .. beat it.

l myself thought that this car would run an 11 straight out of the box even a low low 12 even in the warmish?? conditions.

But we will have to wait and see in the next coming weeks.

I'm just glad there is another blue oval car out there with mods having a go trying to tear up the dragstrip. Well done boys for bringing something different out and having a go. Congratulations.....

Agree totally Craig

It's obvious the car has the power, but as to how much Marv will have to tell us, they might be running low boost or a reasonably soft tune initially. Not everyone can be a gun on their 1st go out

Those knitpicking at the time need to realise that

Okay Blocker, we cant all be as good as you at what you do can we, I still think this place needs some wolf's bane dont you think Nick.

SpoolMan · 25-03-2006, 07:56 PM

Why do we need to compare, we should be encouraging and getting behind the efforts of all owners and Performance shops, even more so with new initiatives for blue oval fans.
If these performance shops don't to the engineering and the the owners put up the cash, we wont see any new developments.
This thread is about CaptianMarv's TT, I would be walking away with a smile 12.1@120mph 1st time out, in full street trim with a novice driver.
Leave the banter for the Red team.

M/T drag radials are 100% street legal, many guy's with big H/P use these tyres on there daily drivers.

I know they are some where on the globe. But Aust, i'm not 100% sure yet.

**Stav** · 26-03-2006, 08:46 AM

That time is a good time considering the developmental stage of the car. I think these guys were just testing the water to further refine the car. I have learnt the hard way that just because you put a car together with the right parts that the drag strip helps you identify and improve on the niggly bits.I think this car will be running awesome times before too long.

Well said, I think most saw "twin turbo" and expected prostock like times

XRQTOR · 26-03-2006, 10:21 AM

COngrats on another quick car, i still don't think it's showing it's full potential yet.

Is it possible the first run was done on low boost, it picked up 7mph and dropped 7 tenths in it's next two runs.

xr8gn3 · 26-03-2006, 10:56 AM

Not bad for a first run, sure everyone would have expected more from twin turbos but give it time Im sure it will show its true potential..but most of all it is good to see another BOSS out there wavin the Ford flag....

Tyre talk is another thread, Vic Police don't have a problem with them.
Speaking to George Haddad he was pulled over in his 10 sec 67 XT no problems, (as long as there still grooved) FPVGT (Alex) runs them on his XB GT, as does his mate with a 10 sec Torana, all these guy's run them 100% of the time.
So we can move forward from the tyre issue, I am wrong there not 100% legal as is any modification that wasn't meeting compliance on our cars according to Vic-Roads.

If im reading this right, as well as being the car's first time out it is also Marv's first time out.

It would be great to run a 12.1 at your first meet.

Some people seem to forget that it does take some practice on the driver side of things to learn and have a successful pass.So to do that and try and sort the car at the same time would be a huge effort.

Good to see more cars and people having a go and im sure we will see some more faster times from this car in the future

Des · 26-03-2006, 11:45 AM

First time out with a TT Boss? I think I'd be creeping up on it too! I know it'd have my pulse racing first time up. Yes I'm also a novice. I wouldn't expect to be able to keep up with the Jones' on my first go.

Well done and I can't wait to see the car (and driver) reach their potential.

Quadcams · 26-03-2006, 12:08 PM

Does anybody know what was the TT's 60ft times on his best pass?

Anyway well done not easy first time especially with the grunt that thing has, alot of factors into a good ET, driving,car setup, etc, etc and its a bit hard comparing to Rods TT when he's a experianced racer.
I cant see how you can be critical when you dont know the whole story.

XRQTOR · 26-03-2006, 08:17 PM

I wonder how many of the people who have bagged the times have actually driven a car with enough grunt to run a 12 let alone a low 11. Jumping in a car with big grunt and running a quick time isn't as easy as it sounds.

My first run ever netted me a 14.1 when my car was stock, the following runs where ИИИИhouse and the best run other than my first was a 14.4 I babied it off the line on that first run and tried to hard with the rest. I know my car has the grunt to run a quick time but getting that power to the ground is another story, first is a waste of time and if you hit seccond alittle hard it'll toast the rears without hesitation. I hope it does run a decent time this week but im not going to hold my breath while i learn how to get it down the strip.

So well see you at WSID this wednesday Leigh, I will hopefully come down to watch also Rich (Hot460) might have his beast going as well.

**Falcon Coupe** · 26-03-2006, 08:33 PM

E.T is nothing, MPH is everything, even with a novice at the wheel, the MPH should indicate power, i have run 14.2 and 12.7 with the same MPH.
The early runs of this car didn't show the MPH of a TT Boss, people know this and ask questions, they are not actually bagging the car, driver or E.T.
There is a difference.

Yep and i couldn't agree more. 12.1 is a great time and with a bit of effort, experience and a little more tinkering, the results will just get better.

Is their a video of it anywhere, I reakon TT on a boss would sound awesome.

Cheers
