The girl has done me proud on her last night up at the track before she finds a new home.
I only got 2 runs in due to it being so busy but as it turns out, I only needed 2. On her first run, which was straight off the street with a very hot top of the motor, she ran a 16.665 @ 104mph and a 60' of 2.1. I had a feeling it was going to be a good night as previously she would only get a 13.9-14.1 on the first run. The second run was done when I had a long delay, heaps of time to cool the induction side down. She smashed her previous PB of 13.608 by running down the track in 13.195 @ 117.13 mph, with a 2.0 60'. The time absolutely floored me, I knew she could do better than a 13.6 since edit was fitted but I was only guessing a 13.4, not a high 13.1. I think the main difference now is since edit has been fitted we have been able to reduce the torque tags which has improved the low-mid range pull heaps. Something that certainly helps with a test of acceleration like the track. To say that I am stoked is an understatement, I will be rewarding her with a good wash and clean up today, she deserves it.

Well done Lynton. That's a great time out of the Gecko.
But I can't believe you're selling it.

Well done mate. That mph is awesome. It is about 10mph up on anyone else with the same car combo and ET.

Well you already know that I am as proud and stoked as you are over this result. What a way to say goodbye to Gecko with a record breaking personal best of this magnitude.
The look on your face when you got out of the car was priceless - dumb founded shock would be an accurate description. Well Done Sweetheart - now to get the GT into the 12's... |

Nice ET 13.195 congratulations, 117 mph is HUGE.
How much power is your car making at the wheels?

Yeah - just watch that MPH, i think its a big call to see it backed up.
Having said that Gex, update the timeslips section - you have climbed up a long way, and leave many others in your wake. Give the forum members another rundown of your mods mate. |

Mate l think you need to wake up now and smell the coffee LOL
l can not see how you can you can run 117mph in your car even with a tail wind at 100klm hour could you post such a mph..... l think with the 60ft your car would run a mid 13 not a low 13 And with your first run a 16 and then come out and run a 13.1 after a delay l find it hard to belive when in my car l can run consistant 13.3 at 35 degress straight after each other. |
