Did a 12.7 at 107mph and picked up second trophy.
Not bad for stock Gen 111.

An impressive performance to watch from the passengers seat.
Spinning the wheels for half the track and banging on the rev limiter in every gear. There's a lot of performance potential left in that combination. I reckon dropping the tyre pressures and working on your launch and shifting technque should see you getting down into the 11's
Definitely put me off the idea of looking for more HP with turbo or blower too. There's more than enough get up and go in the standard Gen 3 motor.
Thanks for the ride Phil
I had a couple of runs in the Ute during the test and tune and clocked a 14.4 @98MPH and a 14.3 at 99MPH. OK numbers since it's stock and the original road tests quoted 14.2 1/4 mile from memory.
I didn't drop the tyre pressures, I just unloaded the stuff out of the back ad had a go. I let auto do the shifting and I think it was still in economy mode. Great fun I'll have to try it again at Calder one night.
Cheers
