I was at crail a few weeks ago but could only manage a 12.9 @ 120.6mph having previously ran a 12.7 last summer, was in the low 13's all morning much to my annoyance until the last run of the day. I just could not match the starts I was getting the last time perhaps there is something to afternoon improvements after the track rubbering in or warming up as i got faster as the day went on the last time too. The surface is pretty horrific, coarse concrete/tarmac. I need to get an LSD!


Race against mates vxr8, from memory it's mapped, LSD and big fat 20's, I struggled for grip off the line in 1st and second

Last and fastest run of the day, finally hooked up a decent start (2.29 60ft) as you can see it's no Santa Pod

Nice trap speed!
What mods you running?


Just PPP with gutted secondary cat, I did notice a 3-4mph jump in terminal speed over last August, strange that. My previous best was 12.7 @ 116.9mph. Only thing that I can think of is I was using manual all the time in August and I'm sure I used sport a couple of times so maybe the computer eek'd out the best of every gear change. Both days were pretty good sunny days (for Scotland!)
 
Nice one!
I've never seen a standard c63 trap 120mph down the 1/4m lol so yours is impressive!

I think my friends standard 507 coupé did a 12.7@115mph at Santa pod.

^^^ Crails timing gear is often way out so I'd not take it as gospel. Even so, it' still an impressive car.
