The rigoli clan have done it again, first off the New Gen esx car has run a 9.75 and just recently back in his home land Dominic Rigoli Has reeled off an easy 9.57@138mph on the second pass at a test and tune day.
This run had the car eased off toward the end , as it was still being set up.It looks set to clean up as rain prevented any further runs.
I say congratulations to them, anyone have any comments to lay down?

I would assume you are referring to this ESX:

And not a Chrysler ESX?

I dont know what a chrysler ESX is, and yes i was talking about the esx wrx, not bad for a full weight street car. Some new tricks are coming out of hiding and will see light soon from the rigoli's

Whew, that's crazy. Now I want to see a video of it.

I'm sure there are a handful of lost horsepower in there. I'd love to see it after full tuning.

Wrong rigolis- yes they are related but in business and motorsport they are completely different.

Correct link is www.rigoliracing.com.au
email info@rigoliracing.com.au

They have been playing with the WRX for 8 years so they know their stuff.

Its not a rumour,it is for real, i have seen it, in fact i have pushed it in and out of the workshop more than once.-9 inch diff and Jerico.
BTW they also have a Hyundai Accent if you know what that is, and have just run 9.4@143mph. www.fullboost.com.au/racing/dragmeets/2003/ecreek_03_10/ecreek_03_10_016b.jpg
and here is a video of MR WRX racing to a new record of 9.21
later to be backed up by a 9.13@148.96mph

For a newbie you need to back off 10. I do not live in Australia, So i can only go by the rumors i pick up on. I've seen their Accent... And yes i know what that is.... too bad it took an EVO swap to make it fast. A good concept and alot of work in which i respect... I would have seen what would have been possible with the stock drivetrain before doing the entire swap.

Have you seen the green 13B powered ~75 Toyota Corolla (If you've heard of a corolla) running around Melbourne?
