Rajabs red car went 9.8 on casties i think..long time ago though, alot has changed.
woudn't be hard to beat that now, if you were going for that as a specific goal, i woudn't be suprised if you could run low 9's at high 140+ mph
Time bomb though, question of when not if
cheers

I believe JPC ran 9.2 with standard pistons and conrods in Vas Stoganovski' car in the early days, Mark told me the car made 470rwkw like that but broke a conrod almost every meeting and on the dyno but never hurt the cast pistons, this was before they went to forgies and alloy conrods

as u see the fast times are workshop cars, which could be re built at the drop of a hat, most ppl who drive there vls regularly'ish wouldnt wanna have such an unreliable bottom end lol..
