Hi Goran
12.3 at 117 but I did have some mechanical issues.
A broken selector drum in the gearbox ( my fault!) false neutral between 2-3
Rev limiter set 500 rpm to low (my fault)
Gearing still not tall enough so on the limiter a long time before the line
Anti squat not yet set up or any of the suspension really
Still on 175/50/13 Yokohamas and it need more grip as my foots not down until about 50-60 ish
And the engine could spend a little more time on the rolling road as a boost leak stopped play at 250 bhp
And if I had some traction I could turn the nitrous back on!
So plenty to do

So wheels and the exhaust weigh in at 180 kilos!?!?!?!!!!!! That's nigh on a tenth of the vehicle weight!

Wow that is very light. What size are the 5 spoke wheels, 16" or 17"?
I noticed the same thing going down from 20's to light 18's, the 20's felt like they were holding the car back.
