The R35 gtr went 11.01 i think, the evos started of in the low 12's and ended up at 11.9 from memory. That camaro with the 383 and blower went 12.068 i think. My brother ran 12.07 in his gemini with the intake manifold with blown out gasket and it sounded kettle all day,least we finally have found the boost leak its had. 9th fastest car out of 58 entry's. Timing system was weird though, all over the joint Good fun though! cheers darren

was just like a road surface from my observations. people had to actually drive their cars rather than point and shoot.
