I think it's got a lot to do with the engine build and the little things being taken care of....getting it done properly...
Also did 32 runs at Heathcote when I did that time...did a 12.76 @ 118mph as well...
CAR: MY9.5 SSV A6 Ute (L76)
MODS: Mafless tune, DUS intake, full KPM 3" system
TRANS: A6 (tuned) with stock stall
DIFF: 3.45 from M6
TYRES: Falken semi slicks on 18" (still same 2.02 60ft time as my SSV sedan on stock SSV tyres, so didn't seem to help)
POWER: 261 rwkw's
1/4 TIME:12.83 @ 111.6 mph 2.1 60"
LS3 Senator
Completely stock and run as driven daily
13.1 at 108 mph
2.06 sixty
anyone know what the (current...) best ET and MPH is for a VE, regardless of mods?
VE ssv
Mods: 227/239 cam, huricane headers, twin 3 inch xforce, DUS otrcai
Driveline: M6, tex z grip, stock 3.46 gears
Tyres: 22 inch front, 275/40/17 MT street radials
Naturally aspirated/ 50 shot of n2o
60 foot: 1.840/ 1.939
ET: 11.988/ 11.801
MPH: 116.50 / 121.622
Got warned after the 50 shot for going under 12.0 on a day license, so i'll have better times on the n2o(150 shot) after i get my super street license again.
Will post time slips tomorrow, track was very slippery, got some 1.7 60 foots but then broke out into wheelspin in 2nd and 3rd gears....track has just been resurfaced
I know active automotives have a VE Clubsport (customers car) running 9's with a 427 and TT's...Quote:

Well done Luke. As many here would not realise 116 mph is equivalent to 119mph at willowbank. Eg Charons GTS runs consitantly 3 mph faster at Willowbank then our track in the tropics. Even on 30 deg days! Humidity hurts them, yeah the colder air now is good but humidity was in the 90s when you did this so good work I say, Combo is working well. With 4.11s without gas and 1.6 sixty at the bank this car is an 11.5 combo.Quote:
