HPF and Captain Marv’s Twin Turbo BA GT ripped out a PB of 11.05@135mph at Heathcote on Sunday.
30 degree heat, raced in street trim. Fantastic effort in a full weight car, well done guys @ HPF and Captain Marv that Boss must be pulling some big horses. This now ends Rods TT Boss 131 MPH record .

As long as your not using true street tyres Calder's new start line has been given the thumbs UP.. Comp car driver Gerdes Blown HT was running et 7.50 there 3 weeks back all rapt with the start-line would have loved to see the resurfacing go further down the track.

Congratulations Guy's, great turbo kit, great driving, great tuning, great car setup, and a top bunch of blokes to boot.
Awesome to see a Boss with so much grunt. Simply awesome.

What does 'street trim' mean exactly, cause the GT that i saw there on sunday had no seats and was pretty much empty inside? Does this clasify as street trim still?
awesome car but, i missed the first few runs but the ones i saw were good he was just stuggling for traction at the start. |

great to hear, will be interesting when this thing gets some traction, i assume it was street trim plus drag slicks otherwise these guys are insane.
shame rods record is gone that was one of the longest standing ones

Even if it had no seats, the time stands, its a killer time, and by the MPH the car will see mid tens easy. Marv, Geea and Rob top bunch of guys, and bigtime fun to be around at the track. Also, certainly very talented in their craft......... |

Ford at the moment have nothing to offer, he don't want another 290 Ute wants something different, a new model. LTD was $10k more and had a lot less features and the Fairlane looked a XT falcon compared to the Caprice. The all time record sales Holden are having with the VE statesman means there is a waiting list. My brother is happy he gets the auto that was built to hold 600plus H/P from the TT setup. The last time the Pursuit was raced it had 427rwkw stock Boss with oil pump gears, all ways raced full weight and still runs like a dream today. Keep the boost and revs low and she didn't blow. I would think Captain Marv's Boss must be pushing around 450 rwkw.

Some Video's sounds like it needs a bigger hi-stall not leaving the line hard enough.
2nd video you can hear the wheel spin, needs light weight slicks and front runners. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pd9-A1yBQm0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRiCvCrqQwk

definately needs slicks and front runners
not sure on the current high stall setup but 3500 would be good

Still it sounds as tough as i love it. I reckon the tyre set up might be OK on that deal if the burnout was bigger especially moving forward. Although slicks and front runners would be killer. Can borrow mine if you want to...... Cheers Craig |

what, dont you guys drive your BA's without the seats? I just glued a milk crate to the floor of mine and pulled what wasnt needed out & it's fine.
Seriously, thats a killer time, my only niggle is that it doesn't launch anywhere near as hard as it could/should with sticky tyres on it... seems to take its sweet time to spool up and start kickin *** once moving. Will we see it into the low 10's with a good setup??? there are too many records being broken lately, its hard to remember who has the quickest Boss these days!! |
