I can’t speak for a BF, however, in a BA you can lose your licence for six months in second, twelve months in third, two years in fourth and as for fifth and sixth. Depending on your attitude you’d probably be looking at jail time, in NSW anyway. I am referring to manuals of course.

Hope this helps. :hihi:

MOTOR got a 13.99 for the BF XR8 so surely the GT would be quicker than that?

The old Wheels magazine figure for the Phase 3 GTHO was 14.4 sec, note there were shorter diff ratios available too. The other weekend at the AFF/GT Club drag day at WSID a Phase 3 ran 13.8 sec times (may have gone faster on a run I didn't take note of) which I would suggest would be either stock or pretty close to it, but with current technology tyres. A BF GT/GT-P should be able to beat that.

One of the guys on here (HOT460) has done a 14.0 in a stock BF XR8 260 auto so with the right driver in a BF GT auto would do better you would think.
