Its a vauxhall XE thats done by QED that came with car. Its about 235hp and around 180ft/lbs. I think at santa pod or somewhere with some grip it
should get in the 11's
I had issues with rear suspension though, it was my first track day

Looked nice and quick, but, as you say, there are issues - I can't believe that all that straight line movement was torque effect with a live
axle??...

none too shabby but i doubt you go a lot faster if you get more traction .12.5 is pretty damn good though.did you get your 60ft and 1/8th times too?

only got standing 1/4 times.
did 2 timed runs best of 12.4 but its slightly uphill at end and it was pretty dusty and bumpy so hoping could get in 11s? who knows.
terminal speed only 102mph which is a bit diappointing expected more.
Once suspension sorted its York or santa pod rung what you brung I think

you might get a few tenths at the pod but your terminals are not far off for that power and weight. it takes some practice to get off the line .if you
try and control your launch and compare your 60ft times with a flat out start .i gained 3 tenths by stopping it spinning in first but my terminals
were only a couple of mph different.i would reckon on a low 12 with 110 terminal if you hook it up and launch well.its pretty addicitve though
york is ok if you are near to it but i was 0.6 slower 0-60 there but ran the same et as the pod but with a slightly slower terminal speed .most people
are dissapointed with the times to start with but a 12.5 is enough to see off most cars on the road

Hi a good live axle setup with 200hp Should be able to get the 60ft times down to 1.9sec.
After watching the vid i would get the alighnment of the axle checked for being square in the car along with the other checks in the other thread.
Looks to be steering from the rear causing the change of direction.
