The morning after the Big Bang VW Show and everyone is talking about that 12 second Barndoor!

Anyone who witnessed the Wheelerdealer Barndoor do a 12.65 second quarter mile pass will probably still be rabbiting on about it! I know we are! And who could blame them as not only is that time a huge achievment it also makes the Barndoor the fastest Split in the world (as far as we know).
And considering it is normally aspirated it makes it all so much better!
The 12.65 pass followed after a few teething problems with the gear shift but after a bit of a fiddle they got it back together and laid down some rubber on the start line. To top it off they made this pass with a very strong head wind!

Well done guys!
