Rented a track and Holden Commodore showed up It was a very nice day for drag racing.... 8 cars showed up and I got a best of 12.4 at 114 mph with 1.9 60ft.
Here is the break down on the times and cars that showed up:
1. The M3 E46 SMG got a best of 13.1 at 107 mph which is very impressive for a stock car. (New record for a stock SMG soo far)
2. The EVO got a best of 13.3 at 102mph with a K&N filter and boost set at 20psi.
3. Boxster S got a best of 13.7 at 101mph stock.
4. A4(3.07 rear gears) Lumina SS AKA Holden Commodore, but with a left hand drive got a best of 13.7 at 102mph with an exhaust and K&N filter.
5. S2000 got only one run(Broke down his Diff the 2nd run) and did 14.0 at 104 mph with a very bad 60ft and it has a SC set at 6psi with no intercooler. (Dyno'd 292rwhp)
6. Jeep Wranglar broke his transfer case on the first run. I dont have times for it.
7. The BMW 330i ran a best of 14.8 at 95mph with a Cold Air intake only.
Here are the pics of todays meeting.... Look up page 2 and 3 for today's pictures.

Yup thats true. If he wasnt a diplomat i doubt it if he can bring this car here. U can buy it new fully loaded for 24K only. And here they want 35K for the GTO

Remeber this, Holden has been GM's best performing automotive division for the last 5 years, of only few GM divions they gain market share every year. (none the less against the big names honda and toyota.)

Even if he wants to sell it, it’s not possible. It’s a Diplomat car and I don’t think it will fit the specifications of the US market. So u won’t be able to get license plates for it. Do u know what I mean?
If u still interested I can ask my friend if he wants to sell his car, but u will have to take care of the other stuff.
