M/T drag radials 275x40x17 its the only wheel and size M/T radial you can get to go over the standard F6 brakes

These videos never look as quick as they actually are...if that makes sense...
Fair effort though

Thats dam quick, considering the work done to it. At Willowbank race-way aka. Queensland race-way if your car does under 11 seconds they require your car to have a para-shoot thingy and you need a special license and all this other shit. Good effort :D

You serious? Thats hectic! I think this chap better stay where he is at that time or else he might have to fork out for roll cages, para-shoots etc

Yup my cousin has an old Holden ute fully done up for drags, his first attempt he got 10.8secs and they abused him and told him to leave and come back with all the stuff required to do that time. Something about a ANDRA licence.

Mmmm thats something to look into

nah, it would be worth it if a near stock street car could get 10's

They might have only run 16's on the rear...You might get 16's over the rear brakes...

Fronts could have stayed as 18's as you'd only "need" the 16's on the rear for traction off the line with the drag radials etc...

EDIT: With 328mm rear rotors & single piston calipers, maybe very JUST 16's but more likely 17's

Have to wait till I get home...Bloody work blocks youtube!!!

If there are on the front, its not making a whole lot of sense for a RWD!! Have to have a look...

Front: stock 19" Rims

Rear: M/T drag radials 275x40x17 its the only wheel and size M/T radial you can get to go over the standard F6 brakes

After looking at the video, that sounds about right...17's on the rear with older style rims...

Quick car and awesome launch...

Yeh, that's true D145 on film, you never get a true visual you have to see it live or better still if your in the car itself...

I regularly watch the ANDRA drags program on weekends and even those sub 7, 6 and 5 second runs don't appear to be 'that quick' but when your at the track different story :eek:
