Default 1/4 mile and 0-100 times

Wanted to know what other people were getting with these times and were they went to find out what they were. I know you could go on the old highway and have stopwatch. But i would like to know a bit more acurately.

Just before selling my EF XR6 , i posted a 14.79 at Willowbank. I was quite impressed. It was a 5spd manual and all it had was an exhaust and extractors. Comparing it to many other cars on the day and even ones whod spend a lot more than i had i was quite happy , infact i ran with a DJR 320 which got a 14.488 so i wasnt far behind . I'll be laminating that time slip. So ill be interested to see what this new Turbo runs .

Nashy I think you should tag along to one of the Willowbank test and tune meets,(depending on where in qld you live) it is the most accurate and the safest way to test your cars capabilities, trying to somehow time your car on the highway is a waste of time. :voldar02:

vegabass - i bought it second hand from a bloke out at clevland , just driving it a few times made me think she had a bit of stick. It had the standard 3:4:5 gears and yea apart from the exhaust and pace makers she was stock shame to see her go....

$37 gets you as many passes as you can fit in (depends how busy it is) and also gets one other person in with you. You need a helmet, long sleeves and shoes.
