5-6seconds would be a rough guess, can't do much with that power to get less than 5 seconds. Trouble is getting it to the ground for the first 100km/h.

wouldn't have a clue, my ss with 230rwkw was around 5.5 seconds though. Realistically down the 1/4 it should run close to a 10 with decent tyres now. Its easily got the power its just if it can get off the line any good

That is a pretty average 0-100 considering how much power you have. It would be sooooooo hard to get it to the ground. I bet once it gets going though it doesn't stop. I love dragging off HSV's in my little 2.0 Turbo, gives them such a shock when they are a couple of car lengths behind!

Maybe a few bags of cement are in order to get the grip.

bloody hell....
how many tyres you go through?

Exar Kun · Post by **Exar Kun** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 11:53 am

I have to say, while they're not really my cup of tea ('they' being Aussie big cars), I love that yours looks pretty much stock but pushes out serious numbers.

Shaun · Post by **Shaun** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 1:03 pm

Cheers Exar

only 2 SE1Z, powerskids dont really use that much tread as they are over pretty quickly lol. well 2 were full down to nothing and 2 have probably half tread left now

wobblysauce · Post by **wobblysauce** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 1:13 pm

With the "spare" tyres.. did you go the stocky rim way.. or were they put on your rims.

Regrading the power skids. would you do a Nat's burn out show? like till they popped/car got to hot.?

Shaun · Post by **Shaun** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 1:15 pm

nah man, i had it entered to go on the burnout pad but i was recommended not to because i actually like my car in one piece so i gave it a miss. I still had my old 18s and they had new tread all round so i took those, and i had bought a couple of 17" rims with drag radials on them. Took the radials off and got blue smoke tyres put on

wobblysauce · Post by **wobblysauce** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 1:23 pm

Well yes true, your car does look the goods.. and some of the Nats Burnout cars don't look so good after an event. Being one of the mottos, don't stop till you hear a pop.. but which first engine or tyres.

Which brand of blues did you get?

Looks mad, love it

Shaun · Post by **Shaun** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 8:35 pm

Just a remoulded tyre wobbly, brand was highway, they gripped up a little much for my liking, really needed to put some ks on them first lol. Still got the whole straight smoking with them on the first time they had ever been used but not as much wheel speed lol

Shaun · Post by **Shaun** » Tue Apr 09, 2013 11:54 pm

heres a video from Saturday practice session, my first ever "legal" powerskid lol

Not a bad sound at all.. and even by the end you were putting out the same amount of smoke as when you started. As some lose it.

petey · Post by **petey** » Wed Apr 10, 2013 1:11 pm

Was there any brake in that? You weren't going quick at all, which suggests either those tyres have no grip, or you were realllly cooking them.

Shaun · Post by **Shaun** » Wed Apr 10, 2013 1:37 pm

Nah no brake. Top of 3rd almost brand new tyres

Very nice.

What pressure?

Shaun · Post by **Shaun** » Wed Apr 10, 2013 3:49 pm

Tyre pressure or boost? Lol tyres 40 boost 16

Ha. Both is good. Just curious as high tyre pressures obviously give better skids.

That's some decent boost too. How low does it kick in?
