12.731 for a second launch is awesome maybe the smaller turbo's are stronger down low.

Car feels quicker than my SS commodore 6sp which run 177km'h over the 1/4, think 80-120 was around 3 seconds so i'm hoping for around 182km'h providing i can get traction in 1st gear.

Tried a tune'd F6 80-120 in 2.1 has run 11.7 in street trim.

Should be at Calder Park for the next street meet.

The car has managed a 2.64. From what I've seen it's probably around .03 to .05 sec slower than an F6 and that would be mainly accounted for in the second gear 100 -110 area (above 5500 rpm).
On the subject of the launch affecting end speed, the data I've seen shows it has a surprisingly small affect.
For example in my earlier post (3 pages back at 7:10 pm on 17/7) I mentioned the almost 2 tenth 400 metre time effect that a 2 tenth faster 0 - 40 time would have (12.84 down to 12.65 sec). However when I use the Racelogic software to calculate the end speed difference, it comes out at a miniscule 0.04 kmh.
On the other hand not using enough revs or hitting the rev limiter (particularly in second and third) can have a significant effect on end speed.
To make sure that my car used maximum revs , I drove it more aggressively than normal (harder acceleration, kickdown) for a while just before getting to the track.
I wouldn't try driving manually, too hard to get the timing right.

2.1 and 11.7 are great times for just a tuned F6.
