Mildman, for the MPH its running a 14 sec time is achieveable my 120y could do that but i have trouble off the line, i run out the back door doing 89pmh with my old engine.

And tyrie im with you ACT needs the drag strip back.

It annoys me that a bufoon has posted a facetious ET. It was me who asked the webmaster to make that thread sticky.
It's fairly plain to see when a dreamer has posted B.S., as most of us have a fair idea of whats what.

glad others have my veiw .... i was begining to worry that my feral datrats A12 wasn't anywhere near its worth .... even toyed with the idea of slapping the orig 63000mile stock A12 with blown headgasket back in to try and keep up
my engine's putting close to 50kw at the wheels on an old and less than accurate dyno which reads well on the lower side of the world.
i'm hoping with a couple "little changes" and another tune that i'll get a couple power runs on a new dyno with a printout for all to see. plans are for this to be by datnats

The community has spoken - happy to get some agreement. Time removed for now....

yeah, burke_a_lot's roo shooter was standard abart from the holes in the side of the aircleaner
seems as there is a stockish 120y on the thread that only ran a 20 or something
i dont think just coz its run down a roo or 2 it will run 3 seconds quicker

leave it out

indeed it is crap, if they kept their promise it would have been completed next year... but no, they just want our votes and to screw us over.
An increasing number of cars around canberra have this sticker on them

A Standard A12 in a 1200 gives around 25-30 RWhp, lets double that and use 800 kg as the weight and you still only get a 19 in "perfect" conditions!

I think burkealot will poast (thanks for that gem Peter) less now school holidays are finished.

Using a fairly generous vehicle weight of 850KG and his trap speed I get 107rwhp....

Sounds a little low for that time - but even so that is an extremely high figure for an A12 that doesn't even have a turbo!

I'll give burke_a_lot some time to refute my claims....but I think he has the time wrong, or at worst just made it up.

that's cr@p. If the government are going to bang on 24/7 about street drags and dangerous driving, they need to provide/ subsidise reasonable alternatives.
