Yeah, it started snowing around 12.30 quite heavily, so the strip got closed, we went off found a pub, came back about 30-45mins later and was literally going up the strip, driving back down and going straight back on

30 runs!
The 19 I did was about 7 in the morning (9.30-12.30) then the rest after (3.10-4.10) When we went back there was only about 15-20 cars running

Its a full on race car, of course it can put down the power.
Looked through my slips again, quickest reaction is .0032

What 60ft times is your car cappable of Nic??Id bet it dosnt take long to make up for the seemingly slow 60ft times tho when it comes on boost.
My old XE Corsa was doing 2.5 to 60ft and my RTs were around 0.2/0.3.
Also Antnee whats the point in stripping the car just for a quicker time.And then firing all the interior back in after your done??
Wouldnt it be better to have a car that can be as quick on the road as it can on the strip???
Id see the point if it was permenantly stripped out but i just cant understand why people do it for a day just to get a better time-slip.

Its an everyday car, which needs back seats. I took them out to see what it can do, otherwise I would just be like I got 17.something but I know it could have been faster!
Nic-mostly 2.5 to 60ft, quickest was 2.4

no it does well after 60ft and beyond. even with a crap 60ft time i got a 128 terminal speed. imagine if i could get half a second off the 60ft, id be well into 11s

Is it possible to shave half a second off a high powered FWD car tho??Is it possible to get the grip??
Im not having a dig btw.128mph terminal is impressive and i wouldnt worry about the 60ft.

i have managed a 2.0 before but that was ages ago. you can get high powerd fwd cars to set off quite well. i just need a lot more practise. to be fair when it got the 128 terminal it was actually damp and not a dry sunny day.
