Nice one mate! Sooooo close to the high 14's, very impressed with that car. Only about 7 mph off of needing some extra safety kit according to the Pod, but as we said Sunday, it's a Volvo, it's already super safe!

PLEASE tell me it was that fiesta you handed a spanking to :) Awesome work that man!

Interesting that your 60ft time wasn't any quicker than the 360s, despite having an ET 4 seconds faster! Time for those wider tyres / wheels maybe?

cheers

Excellent pic mate, awesome work on that car.. bet the Fiesta driver didn't see that coming :)

Huskyracer said that he had major wheelspin at the beginning, so maybe thats affected the 60ft time somewhat.

Like I was saying...tyres :) Time to sort the man out with some nice rims....but to keep it looking as subtle as possible, I suggest 14" steels from a 400. I'm not sure how wide they are, but they should take 195 rubber straight off.

cheers
