Checking this thread from Spain in my 24 mins for 2 euros, and WELL DONE mate. As beggers said you have come a long way from last years launches. I have to say Flea u need to whip the interior out as ferg said and get the best possible figure. Then you can compare against running the full interior. As for the splitting of hairs....

11.9 was first achieved by Mavric. As far as im concerned, you will get better, so at this point in time, you've matched him in my opinion. I think you will get better.

first drop front tire pressure to 19 - 24 psi depending on make of tire, pump the back ones up to around 38 - 40 psi, do a couple of decent burn outs just before you go down the strip (without over doing it as you will snap a drive shaft) then basically stage as quick as possible, rev car between 3000 and 5000 ( seems to get turbo spinning a bit) when you see the green light and it goes back down to 3000 floor it and let go of the clutch at approx 4000 – 5000 rpm depending on your turbo for nice launch if not racing against the clock for at lights etc just hold the revs at 4000 on green floor it and release clutch at 4500 not as fast but effective, it’s very difficult to get it right but practice makes perfect.

Another video from the same day when I went head to head with a Corvette Z06 505bhp \:\/

Flea vs Corvette Z06 - WMV @ 5mb

I mess up the launch bouncing off the limiter too much but it was still a good head to head \:\)

I have to say I really like this American Supercar as it now does everything very well indeed. There was a yellow Z06 at the FightingTorque event which performed exceptionally well. It looks great from the outside and is pretty sweet on the inside too, especially the fighter jet head-up display Oh and the cost, pretty darn cheap tbh!

Well done Flea Does this mean I'm going to have to start putting more money into the Car again now. I might be trying to buy my wheels and tires back soon.
