  1. 4.3 seconds with a passenger and 3/4 tank.
  2. Just to follow up. I ended up choosing a pair of Toyo Proxes T1R's. Same rims...so 245's. Managed 4.4 sec to the 100. Getting a fair bit of spin in 1st still. But I think I could shave a couple of tenths from that time. Will keep playing with the launch.
  3. In my standard FG F6 I managed a couple of 4.7 to the 100. Was using a Performance Box and had a passenger. Averaged around 4.9 though. Now have 330rwkw and have only broke into the 4's once...no traction. Tyres are past their due though. Can't decide on what rubber to get next. Daniel, what tyres did you end up with? Not sure if its going to be a waste and might as well change the rims to get some wider rubber as well. Either way, with new rubber..I should be seeing low to mid 4's.

    How you going with Traction? Still using the Dunlop Sportmax? I was getting 4.7sec to the 100 when it was standard..and now I've only managed a 5.2. Tried traction on and off....Half throttle take-offs..Even tried starting in 2nd ....The bugger just sends the ass squirming till I hit about 70-80km/h

    I recently had some mods done to my FG F6. Injectors Cat Intercooler Tune 322rwkw Done at HPF. Now struggling big time with traction....(Dunlops have done 18000 hard kays though) Looking at getting the Michelin Sport Cups...but want wider than 245s on the rear. Looks like I'll be up for some rims as well. It never ends
  6. F6 now up for its 15,000k service tomorrow. I reset the clock after 5000k. I'm averaging 12.6l to 100km's. Mixed in that 10,000k's are some country/freeway driving & Runway and gravel action. Car always sees the redline on any given journey. Compared to my old VX GTS with same driving...that car regularly saw about 19.5-21l per 100k's. Off topic..but I'll post anyway... Using a performance box, the best times I've recorded (tooradin airfield) are 5.05 to 100km/h & 13.0? for the 1/4. Getting some mods done in a couple of weeks to bring it up to 400kw at the fly....should definitely see me drop below that elusive 5 & 13 second barrier.
  7. Never been on one of these.....Do we get a group discount on speeding fines? :-)

    Had my F6 on Tooradin Airfield on friday. Fair amount of loose stones on the runway. But managed a 5.08 to the 100. And 13.19 over the quarter. About 5000km's. Using BP Ultimate. Recorded via Performance Box. Left traction ON as was spinning on the stones too much without it. Stalling it to about 2000rpm. Either way...beats Motors attempt on the same runway a couple of months ago. They got 5.4 & 13.4. Was still hoping to break the 5 & 13 second marks though :-( Maybe its time for a tune
