My slip is attached, thanks Simon from XtremeFordtuning for supplying the tune. I'm a novice to drag racing, there's more in her!

Well done looks like Simon has done it again!

Phantom, thats a great time. That MPH is awesome, lol. Would have been good to see it live at the track...

And well done to Simon too. Yet another awesome time from a car running one of your tunes.

I'm thinking Simon would be proud of his stable of thoroughbreds. Without stating the obvious, he alone has come up with tunes for a number of Boss sedans. A few of those sedans happen to be the quickest and fastest unopened N/A Boss powered Falcon sedans in the country over the 1/4, they're manuals as well. Credit has to be given where it's due. :eclipsee_

Yeh, the boss(Simon) would be a little miffed that a baby XR8 is a little faster(mph) over the 1/4 than those GT's of his, he he....

Let him run the car out the back door first - simon's car isn't far from a 112, let alone a 109 or better!!!

I'll be happy if my street tyred, stock exhausted, no cai or helixed, edited auto ute runs a 13, and i'll be even more happy if an unopened XR8 runs a 13.1, no matter who does it,

Hi Chris, you hurling your ute down the stirp with just an edit are you.

**Chris** · 03-04-2005, 06:27 PM

G'day leigh,

I had to put my car back to standard because of a warranty issue, and I haven't had the chance to put it all back together. For the moment, I have put the underdrives, a BMC filter and the edit back on it, would love a 13 in this trim. There will be a manual XR8 sedan at the meeting that will closely hold my interest.

hahah, :P thats the spirit, (CHEEKY!) im sure mine would have been a few higher then it was if i didnt have to lift off the throttle

, as for GTP 738, he has been doing these times with stock headers and cats ect so i think his is where it should be

**Chris** · 03-04-2005, 06:41 PM

Next time simon, stop changing cd's halfway down the track. That funny surging feeling is the rpm limiter, when you hit that, you need to change gear....................then your times will improve lol

**Chris** · 03-04-2005, 06:41 PM

u coming craig or what??

Yep, I know all of this, had to have a last minute dig though.

Xtreme F6 · 03-04-2005, 02:44 PM

Thanks guys, isnt this just the bomb! Seeing the BA in full glory Showing everyone what it can really do!

Mate i think your safe my ute was a bitch to get off the line before, i think it will be even harder now that its lower too.

GT 8888 · 03-04-2005, 08:21 PM

Well done on that time Craig, bloody fantastic effort.

Pitty you can't come to Heathcote...should be a great weekend and I would like to see a grudge match between you and Kev.

Don't think it will be long before one of the Boss 260's is into the 12's.

Cheers

Brad
