8.7@164 ain't far off for an 1/8th if your talking Km/h.
Seriously though 8.7 is crazy good 1/4mile et for a falcon. Well done g-tech.

No disrespect intended, but the details in this thread are very light.

I'm still waiting for the thread starter to elaborate with more concrete data.

I think the full weight comment was a joke. It has a chute, tubs, slicks and front runners, I dont think it would have an interior.

Yes and they had to step the safety gear up after it went 8.7.
After that pass the Calder officials said no more racing until the tunnel cover is fitted and driver needs to wear a full race suit...
