ZED With GTR bits 10.8

[Boosted Zed]

Finally got the tyre pressures right and me sorted on the drag racing thing and late in the night we cracked the 10's last night at WSID. Our second event at drags, and it was on street tyres.

Exact time was 10.894 1.690 60 foot and 130.85mph Ambient temp 22C.

The run after that did a 1.597 60 foot but then missed second gear and then ran out of fuel and night was over anyway.

Off to get a roll cage then will be back next year.

Excellent work john

Jaik - a 300zx with over 400rwkw is what he has

[Beer Baron]

Congratulations John. A ten in any car is quite an achievement. Don't tell me you're hooked on the drag thing now?

[Boosted Zed]

I am hooked on adrenalin and motorsport. Won't be going rallying though at least not in the zed.

Hey Nick no more doubts in the boat now?

[lwells]

Well done.

But a Z'ed rallying: now that would be a sight to behld

if porsche can win Dakar in a supercar 959 surely a raised GTR would be competitive

I am less than sure about the Zed though

Congrats on the 10.8 run John. I have no doubt there is more left in her.

[wreckedhead]

join the club on getting the roll cage up and running, lets see who can get into the 9s first

[KamikazeR33]

im sure they tried to rally a gtr... didnt really work tho - maybe a long distance rally would b ok

Big congrats mate. I bet you're rubbing it in large time on the Zed-Boat forums. Were you the first in your little bunch to go 10 sec? Was there a wager or what?

Can you confirm the type and size rubber you were using? I can't remember what you said but I think you wanted to run 16" BF Comp T/A's?!?!?

Well done again mate. Are any of the other Zed's racing for the 10's workshop cars? I hope you're rubbing it in!

Comp TA street radials 275 50 15 .

Rubbing it in everywhere especially the doubters. I called Jason at Street machines to tell him I knocked him off the fence by only 4 thousands of a sec. Will be in HPI in a few months in the back as they have a delay printing.

[2rismo]

I'm so proud I think I might cry

[funkymonkey]

so you did crack the 400rwkw mark john, I thought you were gonna ateempt it with 360ish.

Congrats all round, esp to your tuner

perhaps I should alter this image now...

[2rismo]

ROFL!!!!! x eleventy billion!!!!

[B-Man]

Well done top Ben and Adam for prepping the car. Not a bad effort for the old fella too - Second time out to the drags eva and pulls a 10. I'm impressed.

Top effort.

Well done John from the DIRTgarage crew, is your cage "only" cams and fia approved. It seems a bit of a joke that such a well constructed and fitted cage does not comply. ANDRA shame bloody shame. Paul...DIRTgarage.

I agree. :bs!:

Congrats on the awsome time, John.

Yes it is a bit odd I can tear around turn 1 at Eastern Creek at near 200ks but need a cage to go down a straight and with the walls so close. Not saying CAMS are slack but ANDRA a bit strict, but then hey I have seen some of these hectic sick bro drag racer gear knob drivers drive. Cage I have is only a Cusco bolt in job. Getting the Groove Rider Fabrications special, including the strut tower tie in support. Yes still mainly a circuit car and will sacrifice a little weight for better handling for circuit.

Funky Monkey love the Zed Barge thing. Big fat and wide but with grunt.

Wreckedhead I am pretty confident I will run a 9 in my circuit car before you do and not with current motor, it is for sale as going VQ35 500rwkw and alloy block and 100kg less weight. I will be waiting for you in the 9 sec club. Have you even run a 10 and not on Grand Turismo??
