well good news and bad news. I beat my PB....
bad news is i still didnt crack 13!!!!
14.09 @ 99.9mph .... how bloody close can you get!
that was a 2.39 60 footer as well.
on my last run i did a 2.2 second 60' and missed 3rd gear. that would have been the 13 second run hahah. but then it started to rain so i didnt get to go again.
I noticed a few problems and reasons why i didnt crack 13.
This time i had 205/45/16's on it. Letting the pressure in the tyres down did nothing. The side walls didnt flex at all.
Also it didnt like 7500rpm @ 15psi so i had to wind it down to 13psi on the 14.09 run.
Next time i will have the heatshield/airbox. Slicks and a better tune and wind the boost up... i just couldnt get it off the line properly

Nice effort Shane, too bad about not breaking into the 13's... hopefully next time.
The 2.2 60ft isn't bad, are you still finding it hard to get off the line even with the LSD? Did it make much off a differance to beforehand?

the last run i got the hang of it (2.2) but i missed 3rd then it rained. so next time!
