Did you have lunch in the middle ?
I think we beat that on the Dart, including the trans (which makes it quicker).
Definitely the way to go if you are keen on speed and need to work on the car. Love it

I became quite proud of the number and age of the coffee cup rings on the primer Dart
It was a bit like your own botanical experiment to see if you could grow a new species...

Absolutely mate, IF l can bring that 60ft time down to something respectable, (1.8 best yet), hope the 8" will do that, just putting on different heads, and larger nitrous jets, hopefully that'll put me around the low 10's at least........without the cheatin of slicks!!!!!
