Here is a vid of Alex's first pass.
The car looks to have potential to run into the 7's

I've been waiting for this to be finished and sported a full mongrel for the whole night once I knew it was finally running. 135mph to the half is very strong for a first meeting. Converter needs to be a bunch tighter from the sounds of it though.

08-03-11, 20:02 GMT+10#12 Congrats Alex, great to see you finally get the car finished and to the track. Did you see the timeslip Adrian? 135mph to half track is usually at least around 175-178mph which is a 7.8-7.9 straight up. I thought this car was going to be clutchess tho?

na, auto/nitrous combo will only pick up 31 - 32mph at best with 135 to the half... still big effort off the bat

I'd think it'd end up somewhere in the middle - 35-37mph as they let it eat further down the track.
Kyle, pass was always going to be a half-track or thereabouts to get any demons out of the car/driver but it just tracked straight-as and I guess Alex stayed into it a little longer before slowing it up.
Video doesn't do the car justice - it's stunning in every respect. I particularly like the AMS riding shotgun.
