Yep, I found pulling the mirrors back was worth a few kph in the top end, and dropping the exhaust maybe the same again, then the wipers off was another few kph.  It all adds up. My first run was 174.8, then 182.9, then I tried using 5th and it dropped to 175.7, then 184.3, and the last run was 185 exactly.

Congratulations.

It's amazing those small things can make such a difference.

I will be there this year too for sure, but I may not run the Porsche. It's fun, but I think I just want to go fast this time. a stock SC isn't the best in a straight line shootout.

 

I'll be joining the ranks of V8 commodore drivers with raised foreheads and lowered ears.

Well, considering it's about 1200kg, has a cammed LS1 in it and hopefully some 10in rims on the back and was built from stuff bought from Woolworths, I'm hoping the doller per HP ratio is enough to keep me amused.

 

If I don't keep the commodore the LS1 will end up in the Porsche, and nobody wants to see that! :P
