He must have big drag radial on to achieve that, bloody impressive though. Imagine how fast he would have gone with a blower fitted!

I think potential for 10's is good enough for me. Hell Ill take an 11.x even.

We dont really know what car, or type of GTO it is...or if its on gas.

Or what tyres used..or trap speeds.


It's still pretty fast all the same. But without some real info....it could be some obscure lightweight race car called a GTO ?

[anonymous-user]

also, might only be that fast when going backwards?
