Interior, no interior doesnt mean anything to me. If the car has gone 8.6 then thats what we have to beat. Its good to have some competition. There is a few tuff cars floating around that can all challenge for it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah I thought it was 8.71 as well as thats what is also listed on FordXR6Turbo.com as well, but I think I heard somewhere it had gone 8.60 something. Hopefully the car will go well at Jambo and we can go a little quicker again.

It is a pretty tight converter. It is only linked to the transbrake. ---------- Post added 16-08-11 at 19:58 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by GMHBT1 [View Post] if it went quicker im sure they would have submitted it by now. goodluck at jambo mate hope it all goes well for you. You would think so. I will have a look on youtube and see what I can find. Thanks mate - lets hope we can go even quicker now that we are starting to get some momentum.

That was what it did on the 8.8 pass. Unfortunately we were running out of legs at the top end due to some gear ratio challenges but we are sorting that out now. I will have a look at the timeslip for the mid-track mph and come back to you.
