Ran me a new PB

RG · 11-08-2007, 12:24 AM

Well just got back from Calder. A few of us decided to head down, as did nearly every other bloody man & his dog it seemed, to give the old girl a run and see what she could do. First run was a shocker on street rubber and was 14.122@163.16km/h so I swapped over to some decent rubber and ran a best of 13.862@163.34km/h, not bad but there is still a fair bit left in her yet I reckon.

Congrats on the new PB. There may be more in it but still, you gotta be happy with a 13.8. Well done

Might be time for me to buy some Toyo's or M/T's for myself then, no fun on street rubber.

Nice to see a fellow bomber fan run a good time too, well done, what rubber did you use?

Casper · 11-08-2007, 03:13 PM

I'm betting theres more in it to be honest. A 13.5 is there for sure.

mcflux · 11-08-2007, 04:00 PM

Both runs mentioned have consistent speed. What was the 3rd run?

Nice time by the way ;)

That's the target at the cars current spec.

Had three runs for the night and they were the first and last. The second was a 13.979@163.05km/h, which equates to about 101mph so there is definately room for improvement.

Whoosh run a new PB Today to Russ .. Hes Going to catch you ;)

mcflux · 12-08-2007, 10:18 AM

ahh, so getting on top of your 60' and when you make your gearchanges should shave that extra tenth or 3 off the time ;)

So despite whoosha having an extra ~1.5mph on you (and a tenth), I guess the way you're looking at it is your 347's extra torque will make up the time difference, even if your 101mph remains unchanged?

That and at Heathcote last time I took her out I was running at 104mph and that is the same place Whoosha ran the 13.7.

Ahhh stroker dude....

Whoosh has gained a couple more kw with the new leads and plugs, Not mention he also has a new clutch.....And doesnt run octane booster

Untill you do some work to your Auto I dont think you will beat Whoosha's car, and if you do Im sure he or I will just beat you strait back.....
The only question is, If you beat it how long should we give you to gloat before he or I hand your ar$e back to you on a plate....

P.S. Well done on your time.

Oh, you've got an auto. Well do you "D" it or manually shift?

What's your driveline compared to Whoosha's? (stally? diff ratio?)

Casper · 12-08-2007, 06:52 PM

Whoosha has a manual and 3.45 gears.

Carn"t remember Russ did you use my M/Ts last time or the Toyos..?? as the M/Ts are on 17's would give you a higher mph at the end all be it a little slower out of the whole the Toyos are on 16"s there for should launch quicker but knock your MPH around a little.. just a thought

AU2PWR · 12-08-2007, 06:59 PM

Red is not the fastest color after all ...

Russ ran the MT's at Heathcote , Troy Ran Toyos didnt he ?

I manually shift and it's all stock.

I ran the M/T's so you have a point.

mcflux · 13-08-2007, 09:09 AM

auto + 3.45 vs manual + 3.45 then? Get a stally

Just had another thought, the first run I did was on 18's and was still at 163 so I don't know what's going on. Time to get me some decent rubber of my own and get me some practice I think.

Nah, a manual sounds like more fun.

why do all the work with changing gears? A man with an auto is the same man whose wife gets the beer for him ;)
