But when you told Josie you needed that extra $2000 for tyres, you made it sound like a small number?

11.57 secs and 126 m.p.h. , but the 60 ft. times were shi*house.

Probably could've got a lot more grip with a decent burn out , but didn't feel like burning off a lot of tyre rubber to make them sticky, on what was basically a social night out with the lads.

Cheers,
Warren

Great video Warren. The LS7 has such a deep throaty sound when you're giving it heaps! (I might call it Lovelace from now on...)

What's the red light on the dash that stayed on until you turned on to the return road?

Just letting me know that the thermo fan was on.....

It kicks in at 90 degrees,and that run was about my fourth in quick succession.

The "run" actually cooled it right down.

Cheers
Warren.
