Yeah it was stepping out at 120+ MPH in gear. I did not get a clean launch with the car with that setup and after that I changed computer and a bunch of other stuff. The car is still in the workshop being developed at the moment.

With a milder setup in 2004 I pulled 1.600 short time, check out this video:

now thats a nice launch! imagine driving a 10 second street car...I will only ever dream of such things.

Our 135s are tidy little rigs .. capable of eleven second passes without too much trouble. When the aftermarket develops single turbo solutions you will see ten second 135s aplenty. It won't be about power, it will be about wheel/tyre and suspension.

Thanks Matt, it sure does

I look forward to seeing your footage too, especially since my best run wasn't recorded but oh wells it happens! I still have to upload yours but I've put Anthony's up there already because I know he wanted his 12.8 up straight away. It was good fun!

Orlin · 05-18-2011, 10:36 PM

Its all good man, I am pretty sure I got your best run on my Go Pro camera because I was behind you haha.

Nice vids guys.
12.2 is a great time Sly
10.7 well done Kenny. I particularly liked the part at the end of the clip.
