MPH NEVER lies!

There is more factors to it though:

http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/trap-speed-vs-et-explained-here.567417/

Naturally, patterns emerge again after looking at lots of runs and of course these correlate best to time, not mph.

(while 11.5 isn't the best time you need to remember the weight of the car)

Like when i did 12 runs at heathcote my 13.0, 13.1s etc were all over 111mph my quicker 60fts and lower ets were 105mphs (12.6 etc)

The link is a decent read

Yes i know all that :P

MPH is lower if the 60ft is better. Thats the basic summary of the long winded link :)

Avg 60ft is 1.9-2.3 for a typical street car. Such a variance will see 1-3mph diff having raced over 100 passes in my GTS-R years ago. Got it pretty consistent in the end and the 1.9 60fts were always 2mph down over my 2.2 60ft runs.

Still even if you add 3-4mph to 121 - 125mph for 400rwkw is ... A no. Car would have to be 2.5 tonne or there abouts.

Alex, levelled or not they still blind me just as much as any other xenons I see in Preludes etc. Truth is all headlights hit you in the eyes but xenons are always worse...so levelling aside I'd like to see an all or none approach to it.

Unrelated, how the f**k does Tim Cahill eat 9 weetbix...I bet it's not within the space of 5-10 minutes.

I got a few 1.9s with 105 106 ish and 2.0s and 2.1 are up past 111mph.. but i see where you're coming from.

I want to get into the 12s at heathcote :) you better come! or you going to other sprint thing?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
