Leon B Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Pretty cool, so its ready to rip as soon as you fit it, thats great. Still gotta get mine mapped at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigger Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Hey Mud, if you want a really good 0-60 time, forget all the go faster goodies, just put a 4.1 ratio in your Diff ........ The other good thing is you will never get done for speeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chumley-warner Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 For a better indication of performance you really need to look at 1/4 miles times IMO, esp. if you're thinking of traffic light racing.Have a look at Ian Crocker's site: www.seight.com click on the Performance link. cheers Mike Mine is one of the faster cars on Ians site - see the name Alex Thorogood for my car - I would suggest the fastest times will be done with nitrous / slicks and an amount of silliness! Tyres are really the limiting factor. CW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
