(lsd that still works)

For a rough guide, the best WHEELS magazine ever achieved for 400m was 17.0s (Apr 1990 and Jul 1992 issues). They test with a passenger in the car too. I wouldn't have thought that an LSD would help on the drag strip?


i was pretty certain with an lsd you can launch harder because you wont have just 1 wheel spin?
the power will take the easiest way out (e.g. a wheel spinning)

but if you have an lsd you'd need more grunt to turn both wheels or it will just grip?

My car is a fair bit quicker than it looks and im in no way a drag bloke but wicked wednesday is HEAPS more fun and bang for your buck than i ever realised. It feels a lot like showing up to a new estate on a thursday night and just running whoever shows up. very street race feeling and loads of fun for like 70 bucks...or less.

Ya reckon? I found Wicked Wednesday was about as exciting as watching paint dry. You couldn't pay me to go back again. :evil:

Being my first time on a drag strip for me it was plenty of fun. not like a speed off the streets day at wakefield mind you but heaps easier..

By the way I ran a 16.3 with a whole lot of axle tramp, I put an exhaust on now and it's livened it up a fair bit, I want a 15 now!
