Can I Beet An F6 Typhoon John Bowe?

[Jez13]

Highly doubt you will get early 11's with your mods mate

Ah, so what estimate would you make? According to this site stock standard 32 gtr's run 12.8, surely it has to be quicker than that, right?

[Jay_stylz]

my 33 gtst runs 13.7 with baisc mods fmic hks pod 3 inch mandural bend back to the turbo and 10 psi soo a gtr should be running much better time and not to mention i have a kas 2 way diff so its a mad loss of traction and yes have the time cards to prove it

also on another note i got pulled over by and f6 typhoon last night for a breath test the cop hismself said he has no chance against gtr's no matter what model .... if thats any help

Tell your friend of a friend to man up and take your cars to a track.

That way the driver has more of a factor in who is faster

if you look in the right section aka this one

you will probably see some 320rkw(aw) and 350rkw(aw) R32 GTRs runs only 11.6.

I very much hope that a John Bowe F6 is a little more than a throttle body, air box and some stickers...

If I put some Jun stuff on my car does it make it a Jun Super Lemon?

Haha - I searched in Altavista and kept getting links to FPV forums. Doesnt look like you get alot for 3k!!! After reading what a heap of people have to say and looking at some pb's, I am pretty confident in BEATING him, lol. Now its just a case of getting him to come to the track with me, I am going regardless though - just for the experience and fun of it.

Wow.. Altavista still exists!?

Have you got something against google?

[DRD-00F]

lol, altavista is old school!

i wonder if web wombat is still around

[evil_weevil]

Yes, have a look at the NSW 1/4 mile thread - see tyhe mods similar GTR's run

Brad - FEAR - has ran 11.6 I think? he has 330awak IIRC

a work mate has the xr6t - IH8HSV - he has 276rwkw and ran 12.6 @ 112

(as a comparison, my nugget with 230rwkw in circiut set up did 13.5 @ 108)

the real question is who on earth would want a special edition named after john bowe? and if it's a john bowe edition, how 'special' can it really be?

Wow, there are alot of posts here. Strange how some people have around 250rkw and can do early 12's. But if I go by similar cars to mine I should expect early twelves or late elevens. Cheers for that!

yeah as what burnsie said, it all about the launch and tyres.. power comes second

Ask your mate to bring a plate with him to the creek.

So he can politely hand you your ass on it after your run.

Unless he's mildly retarded and your a drag god I think you'll get done.

What suspension, rim size and tyre choice are you using?

If your setup is right you might get him....might
