ALF05T Member 453 Member For: 19y 8m 9d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 05/09/11 12:50 PM Posted 05/09/11 12:50 PM What is the record for the VL street driven turbo? Possible 7 for sure! What does it feel like to accelerate from stand stillto 276km/hr in 8.4 seconds? The seat of the pants feeling would be amazing. You fully deserve the recordobviously alot of time, stress and effort behind the scenes to iron out the gremelins.Cheers Alf

It was a very hot and humid afternoon, but the track seemed good.It has been about 4 years since I got behind the wheel of the falcon and that was my last time taking a car down the strip so as you can imagine I was pretty nervous, especially knowing the potential of the car.We started off gently and I rolled off a 9.4 @ 161mph. I then went again and rolled off another 9.4 @ 161 mph. We then turned it up a little as I was starting to feel more comfortable and the car was running straight.We went out again and launched a little harder and went 8.8 @ 163. Heaps happy with this, as I was desperate to get into the 8's as quickly as possible and to do it on my 3rd pass I was stoked!Had one more run and went 8.8 @ 163 again. Both of these were only with a 1.4 60 foot. I atleast got both front wheels off the deck on the last two runs. Hopefully there is a photo of a tasty wheelie coming my way in the next couple of days.A good first meet for me, and I am keen to get on with the job and get quicker. Its a mad rush and well worth the wait. Fun times ahead.Phil
