    Australian FWD pulsar trap speed record

    Does anyone know the Australian street FWD Pulsar Trap speed record?

    I know Tipsi ran 130mph some years ago,

    Does anyone know if he has ever run faster?
    Or if anyone else has?

    Thanks guys

    I know there's this Vlad bloke who has gone 130mph, but that's the fastest I know of personally.
    Still faster than Carly's 180sx. Life goals.

    I dont know the trap speeds, but theres a few pulsars running 11s at the moment.

    Bread ran 11.39 (apparently)
    and theres that blue sedan in NSW with the 11sec plates.

    I didn't know Omega ran an 11 yet. He's had the plates for a while and when we last spoke he hadn't run one (but neither had I at the time!).

    Plus there's me that ran 11.9@125.

    Who is bread? Might be this guy? (sorry for the poor photo, only had a potato on me)

    So the story so far about ringers is that in his pulsar he ran mid 11s and a 120+mph pass all while having backed off before he got to the end??????

    I think we better ask the man himself as this is a bit of a strange pass

    I'm thinking it's still going to be tipsi. Never heard of anyone running faster. Even in the diagon ally rumour mill I've heard nothing.

    Not necessarily. It takes a lot of time and effort to make that sort of power, then it has to be reliable for long enough to get it to the track, and then the track reveals a few problems that didn't appear on the dyno/street. So after a few set backs and ludicrous $$$ input (for a Pulsar) I doubt that many could be arsed continuing and choose another direction.

    It's only loonies like Tipsi and Vlad who have kahoonies to build 130MPH Pulsars

    Another note Ringers was running( still is ) a dog box allowing him to flat shift , I would think there was time saved right there. However being with him driving that thing on the street it looks so paintful haha

    In saying that he went through G/Box cases and more drive shafts i could count trying the get that 60Ft time down low (Where we all know the time is)

    Don't be ridiculous, if you go boosted and reach over the 300kw mark you'll hardly ever break anything

    You'll never melt Cp pistons, a genuine Greddy turbine wheel, break aftermarket valve springs, custom made Cvs, bend valves, burn through spark plugs, destroy 4 puck ceramic clutches and turn the flywheel blue all the way to the back of it from heat, break PAR output shafts, and punch holes in gearbox casings

    These are all myths and would never happen to any one person ever

    i dont think its not as un-acheivable today as it was back 2010 and earlier... lots of people currently pushing the required power for an 11 sec pass. E85, fuel and turbo tech has come a long way. drag tyres, suspension setup, a 4/6-puck clutch (that isnt exedy), practice, a good launch and more practice is all it should need really.

    the only thing the 11.4 pulsar in the vid (aka butters' car) has ontop of that is custom driveshafts.
