Out of interest from thunder road.....

[GaryNoGrip]

Gutted I missed it, but would be interesting to know the rwbhp of the holden/hsv's that ran up the strip, I don't expect it to be in order of power but you never know!

Maybe a list like this;

1. Name / car / speed / rwhp / supercharged,turbo or n/a
2. Etc etc....

Could put to bed a lot of the pub talk....

Good idea.

I don't mind kicking it off. I've added a couple more details, that I think are relevant.


1. Araf / 2010 SSV Ute / 147.08mph / 280rwhp (I think) / NA / Auto / CAI, VXR8 headers and middle box delete.

That's what would have happened, if I'd run against you too.

We should have included prices of mods

I know with a replacement engine, gearbox and turbos my mod costs are starting to stack up

Might be less embarrassing just to state if you're in the 5 figure club or not - I know many are - including me

I'm sure you are Emma, and probably just about everyone else in the F/I camp

IMHO, it's not a waste. Either you tune for it, get an extra few BHP, and hope you never run out, or you don't tune for it, and it gives an extra level of security. Win-Win in my book, as long as you don't listen to the knockers.
