Monster,
What power are you making? I'm assuming slicks and an auto to run that time?

yeah slicks and auto
MRVLT: if u run the massive times u reckon ur gonna run dude, obviously quicker than 10s cos u think thats nothing, ull run them with a drag car, not a streetable vl turbo. run quicker than 10.5 with a gt3540 and then ill eat my humble pie.

and who's to say mine wouldnt go a 10 flat or something, or reach its full potential? we can all "say" what we like, its what's proven that counts.
i can actually read mate. i can also read between the lines of ur sly comments. i know what u incinuate, even if u don't come straight out with it. i know ur the one thinking that ur 330rwkw, or whatever it made on that power s1ut of a dyno, says urs is the quicker car. last i checked tho, boostworx arnt handing out 10 second time slips. is that why u think urs is quicker alex? or is there a simulation dragstrip at intencity now that im not aware of???
keep telling urself that ur car will be a streeter...... glide, roll cage, massive 1000hp turbo.... dont get me wrong, im sure it will be very impressive, but its no streeter dude. just cos u can get away with drivin it on the road before a cop sees u, doesnt mean it's a streeter. not to mention the inpractability of driving it normally. putting around in a car with a converter that big, two long gears, etc, the car would be a pain in the @ss when ur not on boost and having fun.

Yeah must agree with you rob, sounds more like a track car. Good to see its going to be street driven though.

i didn't ask whether alex's car was legal. anythings streetable if you can put up with it/ get away with it. technically speaking rob any car with modification is illegal whether it be just a bov or alex's car they attract attention.

i think u missed the point mate. my previous post isnt considering legality, rather it is considering driveability on the street, ie. putting around off boost. ive amended my previous post to make that clear to u.
if u wanted to consider legality though, u know as well as i do corran that alex's car will attract more attention than urs for example. mainly because of the roll cage etc.

There was a little controversy last year as a one person came from other dyno making 30-40rwkw more and then ran away having a cry; another ran up up his LS1 and made a little less but thats dyno's for you. Shauns does tend to read a tad lower than some. Its definitely not a happy dyno.
Opps. :P

yeah i think mine is the best for normal sensiable driving being manual. 2200rpm at 100kmh, quiet and still gets 450km per tank.
yours rob being 3sp with a over 3g stall i would consider being a bit of a pig especially with that exhaust and no mufflers.
but like i said i don't really care because i am happy with my own car as you probably are too.
