Hey terry I forgot to mention with the supersprint that the bathurst light car
club operates we start at the dip along conrod and finish at just past the
finish line. Last time i run over there the datto was fastest tin top by 4
seconds and was only half a second slower than Dennie Rumbles cheetah renault.I
even had one guy who runs a sports sedan say it must have been a mistime until I
backed it up on my next run :) Cant wait to have a go again its definitely a
buzz going so fast in a little car. I have to back off before it goes wider at
kink this is at around 190kmh then cain it down to the caltex chase brake hard
back to 3rd and try to not over power it coming out of corner the datto then
pulls just on 200 down onto murrays. This was with a 3.3:1 diff ratio only use
the 4.625 for uphill stuff and dragging.
