it's on a 35r and you could say its been on a handling circuit before,he came 3rd at a grudgement day event
lag isn't really noticable as its just sooo smooth in the power delivery and then everything just becomes a blurr and you have to be constantly watching the horizon because that's where your gonna be in a split second !!

a truly fantastic car

Tim

p.s the noise the thing makes is almost as good as the way it goes !!

Arf, not far off , decided to just use it for sprints etc from now on as bought a tow vehicle, I was using it less and less on the road.

Its got the 35r on now like yourself and currently one seat and harness lol...unfortunately im pulling out today with the weather, feel like crap - only the sunshine would make me get up and at em' today - had 3 degree's neg front and 2 degree's neg rear for today too, only got rally slicks and kumho v70a's and can't see any of them being competitive today in this.....watch it brighten up

Cage, better brakes and a fuel cell over the winter mate, hope Straightliners do the Grudgement days again as really enjoyed them for what they cost.

Great car yours bud, maybe needs a triple plate like mine could do with, in the future?

Arf, could have been dodgy that mate

Have you any results? I heard off Steve peeler (blue evo 9) that he was 2nd in class and Paul Martin in his blue 6 was 1st.

Any half decent 1/4 times?

i heard the blue evo did a 10.6 or something which given the weather was a super fast time.i only checked my times once and it was a stupidly slow 13 something at 78 mph,think that might have had something to do with me loosing it and crossing the line on the other lane
