dannyspeed Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Anyone seen the new ferrari f430? what a car! A car full of f1 technology with launch control ect. So imagine how i felt when one pulled up beside me while i was queing up to have a blast down santa pod drag strip today. And just think how i felt when i beat him in my jap spec auto tt with just a decat and a blitz nur spec exhaust with a time of 13.7 @ 107mph with him passing at 13.9 @115 all because i warmed my tyres up with a burnout and he didnt. Thats made my year already a car worth 140k with launch control ect getting beat by my supra ha ha. If anyone was there with a camcorder and got the footage ill be happy to pay for a copy.

MONKEYmark Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 that would have been cool to watch. thought a ferrari would do loads better than that. read lots of skylines went too. was going to go too but thought weather would be bad for first outing of 2005. was there any other good cars.

dannyspeed Posted January 23, 2005 Author Share Posted January 23, 2005 Yea it was his first every run on the strip, so he wasnt really sure what was the best way to launch it. he got better as the day went on but 13.1 was i think his best, traction was a real prob as the track was cold. i was wheel spinning 3/4 of the way up the track. The times dont give it justice as i was at least 4-5 car lenths away from him when i passed the line but he was catching up fast. i heard the f430 is good for a run in the 11's in the right conditions. plenty of skylines there, a 911 turbo, 3 or 4 othere supra's. A silver supra had a good race with a 911 turbo getting the same time both in the low 12's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyspeed Posted January 24, 2005 Author Share Posted January 24, 2005 do you want your time putting on supra drag racing list? is it your first time racing your supra if so put up some details of your spec then will add you Yea that be great. 1993 Jap spec auto tt supra (aerotop), blitz nur spec with a decat pipe, AP Racing brakes front, uk spec rear. 19" racing hart cx wheels. Third time running down santa pod, previous best was 14.03@105 when the car was standard with some 107ron fuel. yesterday was the first time running with all the mods and the best i got was a 13.7 @108mph with traction being a prob so i think i could do better. planning to be running 1.2 bar in the near future with a bit of luck.
