    I really dont think Science ran a 13 .
    There was a Green VR6 than ran 14.4 with gutted interior and semi slicks with a professional drag racer behind the wheel .

    90mph shows the car is healthy power wise , just need to work on your launching with tyre pressures and clutch slip

    Beer belly... check Docs tell me I need to go down at least 20kg, maybe more.

    Fuel tank was near full, so there is an easy 20 - 40L I could have lost.

    Spare tyre is worth a few, stereo not so much, but still I think 60 - 80kg would be pretty easy with a lighter driver and less fuel before I even consider anything else.

    As for tyre pressures and slicks and all that jazz, I watched people pull out the spare wheels and deflate their tyres only to do it all in reverse at the end of the night. While I acknowledge it would help, I just couldn't be arsed For me unless I run under the 12.3 the brother gets in his VK it's just not worth the hassle Besides all that, it's still a bit of a rush to just plant it and go regardless of the time at the other end.
