11.99 so 12 seconds or so, then they changed the wheels and rear axle, it looks dangerous in one of the vids it dont want to go in a straight line lol was better on 13"s lol

In what way do you class the fastest?

Fastest 1/4 mile
Fastest 0-60 mph
Fastest as in maximum speed.

1/4 mile surely? Most accurately measured, only really a few places to do it in the UK so most people end up going to the same place, and gives time and speed

Keep the back end from not coming down when he floors it, to get better traction.

This. Helps to prevent weight transfer from the front wheels

Seemed set up well in early videos then they got it all wrong ?:/ the rear biscuits are a joke I understand less rolling resistance but they have no grip at all the car has a huge front track and skinny rear and most of weight in the front means its just a recipe for disaster and wouldn't be surprised if its in the wall of a drag strip in bits

Bah anyone can make a car go fast in a straight line. I would doubt it would be as fast as a well set up 6r4 though with it been front wheel drive. I also think the little rear wheels make it look unstable, as it was before was better inho.
