How many are going to this ... sounds like fun... and I think they are getting a speed camera as well so will be good for 1/4 mile (depending where they put it)....
Bit of a challenge there then ... Griffs v Chimps?

I want a go in the speed 12 never mind your 340 BHP!

With your 885 cam and other bits, you should better the Autocar 1993 test for a 500 of 111mph for the quarter mile. If so, your 0-60mph should be less than 4.2 secs. 0-100 less than 10.2. Top speed could/should be more than 161mph. If not, woa woa woa!!

My terminal at 1/4 is 107 on a measly 4.3. And with a rubbish time too so should do better.

I've seen a Harley hit by a pheasant at 60 MPH.. totaly f**ked the front end and pushed it under the engine eek
So I have a good idea what a bunny could do at 150 MPH yikes
And there are a few about on that strip for sure....

We've had a play on there before.. and 150 is about as fast as you want to go in a Griff! laugh

you coming up Rob?
