Scroll down the thread, there is a link to Cameron running a 12:17. :shock:

There is also a great picture of his engine compartment. :D

He's about to leave my place tomorrow. We had a great time at the Nats and met up with several Slanters. I'll have to show him the video tonight...

I'll have to get work on that (Dennis says) "I have the fastest Slant Street car in the USA" business. :wink:

I'm gonna try and drop another tenth this Saturday. Then I'll only be 2 light years behind Cameron. :roll:

I assume that 12.48 was with exhaust and street tires?

That video is amazing!!! I am just setting here laughing myself silly at how fast that car really is. It is obviously a 11 second machine if you look at the tire spin!! That is one super cool machine. I Wish I could have ridden in it instead of Lou! If you listen close, am I hearing it catch rubber as it shifts into 3rd gear??

Street tires yes, no exhaust at this time. I have an appointment to get some new pipe under it the end of the month. :shock:

It's actually an easy TEN second car with any kind of traction. He has the injectors maxed out now, so can't richen or increase boost yet. I'm sure it was chirping/spinning into 3rd... :D

All you have to do is go to Sydney, Oz and I'm sure you can get a ride. :roll:

Plugging his numbers into our software program and comparing his car to Jefferies and ours he should be capable of a 10.80 IF he could launch hard and hook up.
