03Apr04 AIR drag results

[whatsisname]

And Matt, GenX2 is ADR approved....

I want to make around 700hp (about 440rwkw or so) without forced induction using the LeMans developed Corvette C5R endurance racing components. Nothing like having a big cranky lump of alloy under the bonnet

That's icing on the cake really. Full ADR approval, 11sec 1/4's and defect free.

Many thanks to Mark from www.pulsarparts.com.au for this happy snap. This was my first burnout attempt from Sat night. Piss poor as per usual.

My last effort of the night was actually very close to a REAL burnout, as I held it for 3x the length of this one.

Matt,

How do you go holding the burnout for a length of time.

I find if I change gears I loose my brakes.. Hence go from first to second it won't hold. The brake pedal goes hard and creeps slowly forward.

Gotta luv the tread pattern on those tyres but.

Martin,

The old saying.. "There's no replacement for displacement"

The ol' 5ltr didn't cut it for me, especially the ol GM 5ltr with its crappy banana manifold.

Honestly though what will the putting around fuel consumption of a new generation 427 beast be like?

Joel,

I line up in the water, select 2nd, pop the clutch at 4k or so and then let the torque do the rest. The car still moves a little bit but only because I'm still getting the hang of side stepping the clutch and jumping onto the brake in one quick movement.

ahh so u do the burnount in the water, i thought u said not to as water gets in the arches?

Martin: what tyres do u use mate, size and type.

[whatsisname]

The trick is to "start" the burnout in the water (purely to reduce drivetrain stress) and then when ready ease forward until you're out of the water. Once on the dry stuff it "should" start to generate smoke and heat.

Dean, Martin uses these tyres -

Are they ET Drags on the back of the tonner?

They dont require much of a burnout to get them sticky do they?

[VIPERGTSR01]

gee's, this thread is getting smaller by the minute

[TIMMMAYYY]

I think it was pretty nicely moderated after martins lashing out at me after he suggested we race for money and naming me a tosser and having a go at my car because its 15 year olds and ugly, and he could hav bought at least 15 with the money he has spent on the ute.

[Cubes]

Come on 'girls' keep the thread clean.

[TIMMMAYYY]

I always thought a skirt would suit martin.
