it certainly did spin the wheel in second ... was a tad hard to get off the line in the wet though.

I got to drive it a bit while she lived up at Bribie Island .... so came across many Commode drivers ... most expecting easy wins.

I was most surprised that the VR/VS SS commodores were slower than it from standstill. I think Mitsu got a gearing right in them to get them moving well.

Those poor G-Grid II's though as I mentioned.
