I think you get better times at Calder then at Heathcote.
I have taken the car to Heathcote once 'cause I wanted to see what time it would do and 'cause I had never been on a drag strip before. Being a virgin drag racer I ran the car on a full tank of petrol, spare tyre and jack in the boot on a 31 degree day and managed to pull off a good time. I though it was good anyway.
I have been wandering what time I could get at Calder, at night, on a much cooler day, with less fuel in the car and without the extra 27kg from the spare tyre in the boot, but I don't think I will end up going. I chewed up my tyres pretty bad at Heathcote and those bastards are expensive to replace.
If I ever mod the car(Headers +exhaust) I will go again to see the difference.
