Hey guys, just heard from a mate that this car is now WELL into the 8's at around ~165 MPH, can anyone confirm this! If so, massive congrats to the boys!

It was only a matter of time.

Hats off to all involved, amazing achievement for a nearly 2 ton family sedan.

got any pics or vids?

info on the car for us that are in the dark?

I think its gonna be a fair bit lighter than 2 tonne. and well done !!!

True but still...

I wonder what they got it down to.

gee 8's, that's nuts.. that car is insane

I heard 8.7 at 164mph, insanely quick, taking it up to the vl boys now!

LOL not bad!!! Can't imagine how quick that would be! And the stress on the driveline in a car that heavy!!!

I've heard 8.71 @ 164 now, I wonder how much faster they'll go!

Pretty cool how the first 8 second BA, smashed in a 8!

I was at Calder Park lastnight with the Gtech boys... after trying the power to the ground on the first pass the car had traction issues! On the the second run the power was put to the ground still ONLY with 1.48 60FT the car managaged to do a 8.71 @ 164. A huge congratulations to Rick and Denise (Gtech); Andrew and Con (Preston Automatics and Differentials)for all the tireless hours put in to the car!!
