I cracked...Finally an 11.8sec, 1.7 60footers on crappy nexen rubber on stock 16's.....350rwkw

It's to do with launching and gear changes. If I had micky t drag radials........???? yee ha time??

I used to get low 12's with 296rwkw, but I am not a professional drag racer.....

For example, that night the Riggolli boys were there with a 32 GTR, single turbo, stock eng 400HP at the rears, shitty tires with big wheels. Low 11s easy. They can drive and make the most of their equipment.

im looking at 300-330awk so just wondering with enough practice what quater mile speed is possible

330kw should be an easy 11.2 - 11.5. I cracked an 10.90 with about 350awkw.

Have done about 20 passes all on standard box and no dramas yet, fingers crossed lol

Definitely need 300awkw+ for an 11 sec 1/4.

Stock boxes are like a lucky dip when it comes to drag racing.... MMulti plate clutches don't help keep them alive, plus helps if you are nice on the 2nd to 3rd gear change.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
