Well boys and girls just got home from Calder.
First of all I’d like to thank all the boys from BPR and The ORSM club cause they just are. But a big thanks goes to Chris at BPR ( Blue Power ) FOR MAKING THIS BLACK BEAST MOVE. All the hard work has payed off bro.  : FIRST RUN 60” 2.077 HALF TRACK 8.50 @ 89.25MPH ET 12.994 @ 109.89MPH SECOND RUN 60” 2.19 HALF TRACK 8.68 @ 86.94MPH ET 13.19 @ 109.03MPH THRID RUN 60”2.09 HALF TRACK 8.58 @ 86.92MPH ET 13.09 @ 109.27MPH FORTH RUN 60” 2.06 HALF TRACK 8.50 87.37MPH ET 12.991 @ 109.97MPH FIFTH RUN60” 2.066 HALF TRACK 8.47 88.65MPH ET 12.938 @110.41MPH SIXTH RUN 60” 2.037 HALF TRACK 8.44 89.87MPH ET 12.914 @ 110.51MPH I PRETTY SURE THIS NOW IS THE VERY FIRST 290 AUTO SEDAN IN THE 12’S AND THE FASTEST BY FAR. THIS WAS ALL DONE ON MY NEXEN TIRES STREET STREET TIRES. I THINK I’M IN CLUB 12 NOW ,,,,, WOW WOW WEE WOW Last edited by DABOSS; 11-02-2006 at 01:04 AM. |

Thats a good consistent effort, have you fitted a hi-stall in yours yet?
Congrats Rob & Bluepower. Would be nice to see a few more GT's fly the flag.

Well done. About time we saw a GT into the 12's, the XR8's are embarrasing them.

Yes and well done Chris, almost forgot the man behind the man, does that sound gay to anyone else
 : , no in all seriousness though well done on another milestone. Considering it was ran with street tyres, perhaps the next time you might convince Robbie to go a set of either semi or even full slicks, but at the very least sonething a lot stickier than what was run, and then diff gears and a stall might see a 290 in the 11's before long, only a matter of time.Once again well done to everyone involved, I'm just sorry I couldn't be their to see it happen, unreal how tired work makes you, people warned me of this phenomenon, might have to retire again  :

Robbie doesn't need stickier tyres as he had no wheelspin out of the hole so why would you want to change tyres for, this car has a 12.8 coming the way it is.....
