13.7 is very good for a Scooby. What time were you getting in the cossie?

I got around the same times as the scoooby.Cant think of the best time off the top of my head,ill dig out the slips and have a look later.I thought it was a good time for a standard car.Hoping to have a few more bits added for the next time i go on the strip,so should see slightly better times.

Cheers for welcoming me for you who have replied.

I question your time? I had a huge argument a month or so back with some lads that swore blind that to get sub 14 seconds in a scooby it has to be quite heavily modded. I was of the opinion that some brutality would do it but I haven't tried as I don't have a standard scooby. Even still 13.7 for a standard car seems very good, did you really murder the poor thing off the line?

Welcome by the way

regret doing so if my experience is anything to go by.
Cheers,

Yes Korky it was the red scoob.My first run i had the worst possible start against the gtir and got a 14.2.Then i went up against an american car and beat that and got a 13.8,then on my last run i got the 13.7 against an mg 160.

Thanks again for welcoming me everyone.

P.S for the person who questioned my times come to york at the next meeting and see for yourself

j_p_h, welcome.

Is it a green one with gold wheels?

If so, I know the previous owner.
