1/4 mile Metro

Post by Fast Eddy »

Well, you may have seen from some other threads that i took the trusty little Metro down the strip for a laugh.

I wanted to take my new one, but due to someone putting an incorrect gearset in it it was not right.

On my first run, i warmed the tyres and did this.

I had Gary's Performance Box in, but had it set on Acceleration instead of distance mode, but the result was interesting.

I only got one more run due to a Honda blowing up on the track and then it being rained off. The other run was a little slower at 14.8 due to wheelspin, but i was more than happy with the first run

This is an incredible little car.

Get in Eddy!:thumbs: Is that a 0-60 time of 5.6 sec i see?:eek:
But what was the guy in the ti playing at? that is running about the same power as my old black one, which i was miff with for only managing a 14.7 on the crappy surface at raf alconbury!

Only a 5.8 i am afraid mate. Must try harder lol.

Perhaps the guy in the Ti needs more practice. It was quick though.
