So it was the drag season opener at my local strip yesterday and I thought I'd take the car and get some runs done.
I've never ran the car down the strip on 98 so that was first. I did two runs 11.72 @ 122mph and 11.69 @ 122mph so fairly consistent. This was at 21 psi of boost.
Then I swapped fuel to E85. first run was 11.0 at 134mph.
Managed a couple of runs both at 11.1
Then on my final run as I was low on E85 (20 litres got me four runs) I managed a 10.96 at 135mph.
In car footage of the 10.9 run.

Race Face on.
The car also managed a 0-60mph (100kph ish) @ 3.2 seconds.
I was 2nd fastest overall yesterday being beaten by a fully stripped out evo Running 10.5.
Couple of points to note. This particular drag strip isn't the best of surfaces so I'm convinced there's a little more to be had from the car. My 60ft's were 2 tenths down on the one at the plex so there's more time to be had there.
I'm convinced there's a 10.5 in the car but certainly not much more than that.
The nearest proper drag strip is a 2 and a half hour drive away so I may or may not get it on there at some point.
But overall I'm really happy considering I drove the 40 mile journey home afterwards.
Back to back tens on opposite sides of the globe as Jacob Ayres quoted yesterday. Pretty cool
