I think the bricks shifted in the car and shook the thing and it gave me this reading.Btw one thing i leanrt is that a 240kg weight reduction reduces 60ft times by 0.15 of a second

Next time you've got that amount of bricks in the back of car, see if the G-tech gives rapid deceleration readings...

I dunno, mate... We've got an 1/8th mile strip up here - you'd probably give 15 a red hot go over that distance...

It's all about traction, mate - With a mountain-motor like that six pack of yours, the bricks should improve your 60' times outta sight - will eliminate some of that nasty tyre-frying that AU wagons are renowned for...

Youve got to admit though its a funny result. My wagon needs a big rocket cable tied to it to do that time.

I have been seriously contemplating a 383 stroker v8 windsor.Then the wagon will be bunny hopping to work.Just like a rabbit :

i meant stock au wagon not xr6
I cant find the figures of what the average 1/4 mile time of the I6 in an AU wagon but i dont think it would be below 15seconds.

And cat backs can unleash a pony or two, so they ARE a mod, be it a small time mod, but they are a mod nonetheless
