Nice top end - if only we could get GTI's to launch like 135i's :)

Great video.
I did manage a 1.81sec 0-60' but alas missed my third gear :facepalm:
Here's the same race from a spectators perspective.

Looking good Alan - if you can only tie all components together (Launch & shfting etc) then there should be an 11 in it.

Was that a second gear burnout? looked like a little smoke (maybe a little heat) and did you get any temp into the tyres? I suppose you need to pull up at the head of the escape / return road to check. It's so gold they will cool down by the time you get back to the tower.

Need to show your friend where the zoom function is :P I'm guessing this was origin night? The place is a ghost town. Jason and I went last year to take advantage of that but forgot this year :(

Great stuff, keep hunting an 11 mate!

I told him if he was stuck in the 12's, that I should take the driver's seat. I weigh less, launch harder and shift faster ;)
But alas, there was no swapping. Asking a man to drive his car is like asking to share his wife. It only happens if you're Robert Redford and Woody Harrelson and there's a million dollars involved. And you live in a movie.

The Elusive perfect run...yes, a second gear burnout, seems the only way to go for me to get some heat into the MTs.
The car and clutch seem to enjoy it as much as me.
Need some 15-16 inch rims to get a quick getaway.

Perhaps you left prematurely.

You're welcome. I don't care what anyone says about me either. I think you're the tops, too.
