dude Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Well all was going well a few easy passes and then we decided to turn everything up, tried a launch at .5 bar with the launch control and 1.6 bar, bogged down and ran a 12.2 so turned the launch up and I turned the boost controller up to 2 bar, it launched really well and hooked up so hard its torn the diff mountings out of the rear subframe and snapped them off the diff as well as tearing the prop donut to bits and ripping the handbrake cables out. I think it would have run easy 10's, still next move is a billet diff cover and solid mounts, overall pleased with how the car ran and the reaction times were almost perfect so cant wait for 9000rpm and next year.
