Also did anyone Notice the Phantom MKI XR8 Sedan (5 Speed) run a 13.87 pretty Impresive, and it's stock, i talked to the owner, it's his tow car, 53,000Km and 3,000Km over due for next service :hihi: Maybe that was his secret

Mine has done 65000 and running stronger everyday as you can see.....

Service is at every 15000 unless they changed it for the MK II?

Dont worry mate, there will be a 260 runing 12's soon, and some 290's there aswell. We only have 3 records left to beat, the "manual" 260, the 290 N/A and of course the last one ;)

Simon if u guys can run 110mph i will buy some edits for every-one. :newangel:

3.46's?? should be good for 112 MINIMUM.

The XR8 utes melbourne running 4.10's

The GT's in WA are running 3.46's.

110 mph will be a SNACK.

I have to try. lol. Im not really bothered. Its all good fun and all for FORD. I have had the title for 9 months and we all needed a new bench mark to chase. Bring it on i say.
I was suprised how long I held it for and have always said it will be beaten. I would love to see and unopend Boss match that of the LS1's now in the high 11's.
As most of you know my life style is going to change a bit in the future with twins (children not turbos) on the way. I will still be around and come to the events and stuff like that. If I happen to go quicker, great , If not it doesn't matter. As long as I can keep the ute I will always have a quick toy...

Even after ORSMXR beats the 13.20 I will have the quickest manual ute for a little while. lol. There are that many different versions of titles I could go for the quickest Unichiped Boss ect ect....

Cheers all and keep up the great work.......................Kev

Hi Craig, there will always be 1 disadvantage we can never make up with the commodores and that’s the weight, it’s a real bummer how much better would we be with a few kilo's off the BA.
The Funny thing is the BA Ute is the heaviest Falcon ever, and they seem to be out in front....Go the Utes....
i need i diet..lol..

I think I've heard you say it before, the utes have a simple **** end setup. Who needs all of this IRS crap when the utes just rip down there, autos as well, like c'mon!

P.S. I'm still waiting for a Boss 260 to better a 108.11mph, he he he...

I tell you something,

My first race was against SLY LS1. **** me drunk, the ****er took off like a sparrow with a rocket up its ****.

Something has to be done about these LS1's, thats for sure.....

It does show you are making good power.
Unfortunately there is no prize for MPH.
Rods 129mph and THCinc 118mph, both these guy's would love a lower ET.

Yep,. its a black art........mph aint everything, but ANDRA and the NHRA do award national records for it, so it accounts for something.

George and Rod are both addicts, plain and simple!! I dont think there would be many members here that could compare dyno sheets......

129mph is huge, so it definatly is making some very massive horsepower, when can we see a dynosheet?

I have not seen the dyno sheet but I have driven the car before it the cams done, Boy did it have some serious traction issues or should I say lack of them. 1st gear was a wast of time, 2nd was nearly as bad and 3rd well you got hook up about halfway through. Bloody insane is the only way to discribe it.. I guess thats why I loved driving it so much.

OOPS. I thought you were talking about bluebloods ute....
