Sorry Phil... I beat ya out
I am now the overly too proud father of the Fastest SVX that is to remain naturally aspirated... I got to run out to Atco for one last blast down the strip with the old girl before she goes to her new home and WOW was I impressed... The best time I could throw down was 14.534 @95.33mph... Yes this just beat out PhastSVX's time of 14.59 but I have my own excusses as to why. 1st off, I could not get a great launch out of her without spinning all 4's due to the fact that I cannot drive around the water they spray for burnouts... My clutch also doesn't seem to be able to handle the new found power and it slips some when changing gears... I think with the a firmer clutch and now water.. I could have run a 14.4 or 14.3 with my highest trap of the day being at 96.2mph Anyway... I will see if I can break my own record again someday with the 6mt once I start modding it again...Below is a picture of the time slip I am car #3994
