A: Phil Edmondson is
putting in seat-time to set
up his XB coupe for Street
Machine Drag Challenge
2018, though the car won’t
be kept as-is for too much
longer. “I have a bigger,
billet 88mm BorgWarner
turbo on the way,” he
said. “Once set up, the car
will be hub-dynoed with a
focus on the tune. Also, the
rear end has never been
properly set up, so I’ll work
on that. And on top of that,
I need a new converter,
and I’ll have the guys at

With a previous PB of
9.15@145mph, Anthony
blew that out of the water
with a 9.08@145mph at
Fast Friday, moving him
up to fourth spot on the
SA Street Outlaws list.

headwind I think we would

31-spline axles, full spool
and 4.11s. It’s made 241hp
and 295lb-ft – not bad fora mild Hemi,” Yianni said.
“Tonight I hoped for a low

only ran a 13.9@96mph.”

his PB of 6.99@98mph over

THE SA Street Outlaws Top 20 Facebook page
guru, Jake Sansovini, gave us a brief rundown on
the rules of The List.
“To make the Top 20, you need to drive to and
from the track, with no changes made to the
car at the track unless it’s safety-related, such
as a parachute fitment. You need to run the full
interior, use any form of radial tyre, use the street
exhaust, and you need current SA rego,” he said.
“The page was made for shits ’n’ giggles, just
to recognise a few of Adelaide’s true street
cars that can lay it down at the track, but it then
took off! The hype and competitiveness are
unbelievable; currently there’s at least 10 cars
in the build aiming for seven and
eight seconds.”
