This getting better and better.
I'm in and yeah, I call you out! Sounds like fun.

As you know mine doesn't roll at the moment and I doubt very much it will be ready for the 4th.
I will come and watch though, I will be there as leader of your cheer squad!

By the way, I would love to see Brett's beast on the track!!

Yep, I'd love to see Brett's beast run too. Sounds ace in the flesh. Need to hear it at noise :)

I'll chat during to week mate to sort out a plan for Friday. If you want to roll up with me we can do that.

I best do some practice during the week to get my driving up to spec :lol:

Is that the one I think it is? Purchased from a forum member? A member you so correctly named Daz and I top blokes to last week?
If not, do tell

Happy as and this is a keeper. Wanted this car for about 5 years now. Just want to enjoy it and fix a few little things to my liking. New wheels already being made :-) OH, and of course run it down the quarter which the previous owner didn't get a chance to do :-)

What is it that you are plugging in? And do I need one?

I leave the tuning to the guy with the dyno and the lap top.
What damage can I do with that thing?

Street tyres?

How does auto change gears/slippage?

 

Big mph...mid 11 sec territory

 

Either way shows she got potential to go fair bit quicker once sorted which is a nice thing.

Low 12's with a RELIABLE stock engine with no more than a cam, stock pistons and small heads for an LS, I would say well done!!
This car just drove to Toranafest and back no stress.
I call it a quick, good fun streeter!
Put it way and all reay for next time, sht hot, well done Daz!!!

It will go high 11's easy. I guarantee your problem is your too slow getting off the line. What 60ft times?

Heathcote is a good track, but it's not as fat as Calder, or Sydney for that matter.
He may find just going to Calder with a better preped track will drop his numbers.
None the less, I think he still went well
