11.7 from a standardish Subaru, yeah right!



Be honest, it was running quite a lot of boost!

A shot of Nos, now thats cheating, very quick time though 11.7, it is addictive drag racing, ive already been looking on the Wizzard of Nos webb site after my day at Santa Pod on Sunday

cheers....its strange how a lot of people think nos is cheating....i see it as just a cheap modification....no different to someone fitting an aftermarket ecu or a big turbo?

rich...i was running tein coilovers set to the hardest damper setting, it was all the torque, not my massive beer belly

i think that if i had stripped the interior and got some smaller wheels i could have got into the high tens????

the was dynoed at 330bhp (without nos) a few weeks before...

This is allll making me feel great about my supercharged 2.0L and nitrous in the kit car

Nitrous isnt cheating, its part of drag racing isnt it? All the top fuellers and funny cars use it, in a much more aggressive way.

I get excited when i try and think what mine is going to be like!

There was a chap around the Kempston (beds) area who rebuilt a Rover P5B coupe (2 tone metalic brown) with a twin plenum injection engine, ............................and NOS.

The trouble was that even with a car that heavy, the front end lifted that high that steering became problematical.


Evil stuff.
