not quite 15.0, was 15.4 but i had to leave early so didnt get to many runs. So with a better launch and better tires and with the rest of the engine finished there is no reason for high 14's. (besides the fact my car is in no way aerodynamic :lol: , got a new g/box for i anyways 8) )


track was quite slippery, i was still wheel spinning at 100kph

what tyres were you running anyway?? I don't find there's much of a gain when you try to heat up road tyres on the burnout pad, doesn't really achieve much apart from show you how well you can spin ya front skidder :lol:

It's all about the skidz dude.


The other thing is making sure you don't start your burnout in the water, road tyres wont generally generate enough heat to evaporate the water so it'll just drip down from the wheel arch onto your wheels while you is staging.
