it is a huge difference between a flat 15 and a 15.9

so i see no reason why the wagon can't break into 15's

christ it already officially ran a 16.08

if your racing i knw you need to be there by 8am for briefing and shit or something like that, so you would need to go down the day before, or do what i think muzz is doing and getting up REALLY REALLY EARLY, lol.

Not sure of price to compete.

Since the 16.08 time, we have lowered the car on sport lows and put in KYB shocks (the car wasted hours putting its backside to the ground the first time round), we've done the exhaust right thru from the cat to the muffler (2 1/4"), and we've put a pod filter in, instead of the old panel filter.

Would be fun to drag again, just for curiosity sake... My car will never be a full-on speedster... it's my supermarket hack, but, hey, who wouldn't be curious about the power a 3sge can put down under the weight of a wagon.

Sounds as though even the 16s time is fairly impressive for this type of car. That's enough to satisfy me. :)

I wanted to take the GTS-4 down the strip this year (probably only get a 15 or 16 second time anyway) but can't quite afford to fix it if something goes wrong - will be racing it next year though. :D

Sounds like there might be about nine or more Southern Skylines, Skylines there (and five or so in the cruise) too. :) :cool: Hopefully picking up a Skyline in Milton and another in Raes Junction.

About $30 to compete - depending on your car. 8)
