Ratter's car runs a 11.6 ET with a 1.6 60ft out at Calder tonight.

With a faster run to come l have been told.

XRCIST · 12-05-2006, 09:07 PM

That is fantastic, far out!!!!

:

Have there been any changes to the car since it ran previously?

X ORSMXR · 12-05-2006, 09:12 PM

l am not sure, but he has taken out the record for un opened boss.

motomk · 12-05-2006, 09:16 PM

Well done to Ratter!

galaxy xr8 · 12-05-2006, 09:35 PM

Well done indeed.

CAMS290 · 12-05-2006, 09:41 PM

Well done to Ratter and to all involved, that car is getting quicker with every outing.
Who needs a Turbo with times like that !!

XA-Coupe · 12-05-2006, 09:48 PM

Well done Mick !! At the front again.

:
I suspect the car has been on a diet given the large leap.

There would have to be.
You dont drop ET's and pick up MPH without any changes.

X ORSMXR · 12-05-2006, 10:02 PM

Well it's had a tune up as well Cam.

Chris doesn't send out the car with the best tune until he thinks it's time, also not saying that this is all the car has.
As you know what chris can do with a unopened 260 even before openening it.

SpoolMan · 12-05-2006, 10:10 PM

Well done ratter, great result...
if you can run 11.6, I suspect everyone will be lining up for a 11.6 tune.

MYV8 · 12-05-2006, 10:10 PM

Well done guys, that is what you call really shifting the goal posts.

rodderz · 12-05-2006, 10:17 PM

Well done Michael and Chris, great research there into getting extra out of the ute

Getting very close to unopened LS1 record territory now

Just curiosity !!! The 290 is definatly the motor to have, by a lonnnggggg shot.

Not much between them standard, but when you start playing with them the 290 really responds.

Craig · 12-05-2006, 10:32 PM

Lowride260 has been 12.7 something, manual, 4.11, racing wheels and tyres.

Well done Ratter and Chris, awesome job tonight, that thing was flying your 60' footers looked great and the ET / MPH on the scoreboards looked even better. Well done guys a great result for an auto car.

Cheers Craig

X ORSMXR · 12-05-2006, 10:35 PM

Well Cam it may be the motor to have but they are very different to each other.
But when racin the 260 racin is very close unlike the 290 race atm.

Mate you will never see the car racin again as l sold all my shares in the cv joint industry. lt's a shame as the car will do it easy with a launch but can't afford 2 brand new CV shafts.
