For my car yes,that was pretty much from idle speed and floored it.

The second run was even worse :laugh:

Slower than a MKII! :grin:

It's not as easy as it looks and it gets addictive. When I went to springfest I was only gonna do 3 runs, ended up doing 8 I think!

It was a really poor start.

Gave it a few more revs on my second run and it made a massive difference,only to fail when it came time to change gear.

In my eagerness to get a better time i was a little aggressive when changing into second and pulled the gear knob off,thought i'd done some serious damage so pressed the clutch back in again,took me a while to realise it wasn't serious and let the clutch back out again :grin:

Wouldnt that give you a 5.8 to 60, which is the same as the R32?
