    i thought foam was down to 5.37s in the mighty VP. maybe both greenfoam and stocky (as well as any other willing participants) need to give a basic list of mods for the times they have achieved already as neither of these cars are exactly "factory spec" anymore

    You guys are gay...... start a challenge right when everything is going bad with my car.
    Best time was still 6.11, but i still never got around to doing a run after the tune.
    But hopefully whenever it is the cam/heads and diff are done, then i will get a lil closer.
    But still no were near 4.9
    Cars too heavy for that lol.
    Also why exclude me cause i drive a VS... bastards!!!

    Hmmmm..... 5.9 atm. I have a *lot* of work to do. Sigh.... I guess the drivers seat is all that will be going back into the VP for a bit

    I can send the graphs and data files for my g-tech.

    yeah its surprising the amount of work i think ill need to get an extra second off. when i compare mine to luke's old VP running the same as mine, he was running 5.11 seconds. his had a bigger exhaust, higher boost, a good engine, 3.45 spooled diff, 5 speed manual, and probably a better tune. all that got one second quicker than mine. ive got a lot of work to get 4.9

    thats what i must have got confused by. i wonder if we should post up what we plan on doing to our cars to get them faster, or just post them when theyre done and post results
