Is that what full-weight bolt-ons are doing these days?

Sheesh, I've been out of the game too long.

Mick knows he's a gun driver.

Didn't want him to get a big head .:stick:

I honestly dont know why most of the VE's are so far behind? Someone has hinted Russo's were using NOS on ls1.. :p I guess that's a accolade of sorts.

What was the 60 Mick?

Pfft....itd be going a lot better than 11.7 if it was on the gas.

Russos have spent a lot of time and knowledge to get the car going...calling them cheats is an easy way out for those that fall short of the mark.

Plus (and i hate saying this in case Mick reads it :p ) but he's not a bad driver :cool: .

Congratulations Mick and the Russo Boys..

I still think it can do better Mick get some fresh rubber behind her mate.:nuts: and your gear changes are toslow LOL Well done:driving:

[Cogswapper]

As Dunc said what was the 60ft?

[highlander_69r]

Thanks guys the timeslip is up now so you can see how bad the 60ft time was once i get some new rubber and get a 1.62 60 ft time i would hope to drop the et another tenth.

[lautray]

Well done boys. Great driving & an awesome package. Not sure what's doing with the 60 though... definitely more to be had right there, no question :). If you need a driver Mick... :p :p :dance: .

1 tenth in the 60's would drop at least 2 tenths in the 1/4.

11.5's WTF :yike:

[BOMI]

WOW, congrats fellas!!

Thats a crazy time for a bolt on :yep:

Troy :)

Great effort guys , as for the NOS comment what a joke when you consider there are lots of cars using NOS now and not all are going as fast as they should , you guys get a well developed bolt on moving and the knockers mention NOS lol .

[35R]

Would be the worse NOS setup in the world to run 1 or 2 tenths faster than N/A

[35R]

Here is the video of Micks record (two runs, one 116 and one 117mph)

Awesome result how the fark do you change so damned quickly there, Mick?? It almost sounds mechanical its that slick. Well done gents :D

Practice ... Practice and more Practice. I can guarantee you that I'd be able to make Mick's car run a 13.5 ... easy !!!

:lol:

Without wishing to inflate your ego anymore Mick, that's some seriously impressive driving ... :bow:

11.5's WTF :yike:

F#$kn ay :driving:

Great job guys.

Have you done UPD/Thermostat, coolant mod's, cooling mod's? Any other little mod's planned?

Again, top effort, go back and link up a 1.6 60ft :thumbs:

Mick has a 25% UDP.

Great result Mick and Russo . It just goes to show how well these cars respond to mods.

There is a bit of a similarity between Eric and Micks cars don't you think. Both great engines and extremely slick down the track.......

Ummm ...:toetap:

[Muncha]

What do you think it will be able to do on a perfect run? 11.5-11.4?

You still chasing lower times or waiting for more competition? :wave:

Thought about stripping the car and running NOS? Would 9s be a possibility?

[Muncha]

Looks like there might be a new contender soon. :cool:

[mick]

Looks like there might be a new contender soon. :cool:

Well its about time i have lost interest because there is no competition untill now.

[FatBoy]

Keep it up Mick and i'll have to go on a diet then give you all a lesson... :lol:
