Agree seen it 1st hand with my car, 12.6 to 11.9 with gear changes and driver change, I could never beat Mauz's ET in my own car.

Great time Slick5 and knowing Spiro I'm sure she's spot on and you did a great job behind the wheel.
I was excited seeing this thread hoping for a stock FG315 time - had you run her before the mods at all ?

sorry yes that was someone else but it was an fg gt apparently maybe TUCOOL can confirm.

hopefully we can see smoe more people taking their fg gt's to the track stock or modded, given the results from the previous 260's & 290's i'd expect to see mid 12's coming from 302/315's with bolt ons

I think thats a great time mate, see'ing any boss go into the 12's N/A form is good to see and it must sound bloody good, I think the comment about money spent is a bit left of field, isnt that why alot of us are on these forums and down the track? we spend cash on our cars, its all part of the fun im sure the car pulls hard n thats proven in the timesheet and thats what counts

Unfortunately the first time I ran it was after some initial mods which were just the exhaust and tune and ran a 13.5

Slick5, you didn't happen to be at WSID this Wednesday past (11th)?

There was a green FG GT there.

I ran a 12.721, have 3.45 diff gears, but no YT intake plenum.
