Gen F GTS 1/4mile

[V8NHH]

So found myself with spare time on hands yesterday afternoon after work here in Oz, so thought lets go to the drags - Wed night is pay and play at Eastern Creek.
So ran my Gts up the 1/4, was hoping to get sub 12secs but in end best of 12.124 with a 2.065 60ft all on street tires no burn out and a lovely temp of 37degrees ambient, the chiller did well keeping IAT2's down at 14/15degrees, end of 1/4 would see IAT2's at 45 briefly before coming back down.
FYI car was left running from 6pm to 9pm didn't get turned off and I completed 17 runs.
I had a worst of 13.3 when tried all AIDS off- just wheel spin 2/3, best time was tour mode and shifter in sport, when lights went green just mashed the throttle.

Don't think can get much better without doing burn outs and maybe some drag tires.
Headers getting fitted next week!! (10" lower pulley, pod filter, injectors, Gutted Cats)

Hey mate,
Really good results. What sort of power are you running?

[V8NHH]

I'm around 530rwhp. Getting headers with 100cell cats but having them moved further downstream. Hopefully these don't melt!! If do Catless pipe time again
Did have headers before - HM but their design was 4-1 with cat together lasted 2months before Cats melted, they replaced them but I sold them before fitting again, just went back to standard cast manifold and straight pipe through set of scrap yard Cats so exhaust all genuine

I'm at 26000km and mods been in there good 18000 so far no worries.
Averaging 19.8mpg a tank

Your terminal speed what was it? That gives you an idea of its 1/4 mile potential.

19.8mpg ain't bad either I get about 17mpg on the motorway @ "double figures". Never did a 60mph run, but am assuming it would not do the book figure as it is far from being run in. Only 4k miles from new in May last year

I am keeping mine standard for the duration of warranty, might experiment a bit later on Perhaps, will give you a call to help navigate parts delivery from Oz

[V8NHH]

Terminal speed was 122.-- mph can't remember the .-- exactly think was 79 slip is at home.

I will gladly help out where can with parts.
I bought all mine from States!!! only local part is Harrop pod filter unit, have got my Duspeed OTR sat in garage £100 plus postage if anyone wants...

I'll let you guys know how get on with headers (1"7/8 100cell Hurricane)

[BartW]

Judging that I had had the ORrsom from you on the old car, I might consider

Lol only bummer is its all painted to match my car!!!
I will say if you looking to get to 600rwhp or over then the Harrop pod is way to go as the current design Duspeed hits it limit point, I know Dus and he is working on newer hi flow design, limiting factor for OTR design is the angle of throttle body, if was straight on like LS2/3 be laughing....
The Harrop unit is $900Aud.

Do you think we could get away with that size of number plate here in the UK, officer?

[V8NHH]

That is standard number plate!! here in NSW well its premium as white with black not yellow with black. There are some colour combos that are allowed here that you can't read clearly unless real close!!
Eg black with blue lettering on blue car!!

So went again tonight for another bash
first run was a 12.000 still not in the 11's, backed it up with a 12.073 then tried different traction settings was just worse

Then last run decide a little burnout would be worth a go was very small one prob 2-3 secs max

result 11.767@ 124.75mph 1.959 60ft!!!

Street tyres and pressures
