Mine trounces on Ferrari 355's

Beaten a couple of them hands down.

Raced a few 911's from Carrera 2s (easy prey......lol) to 911 turbos (V. quick, can't get away though)

Want to come up against a new generation TVR like a Tuscan or Cerbera as the older ones are no problem.

Can honestly say I've not come across anything faster.........yet

You wont find any scoobs worth playing with i would guess?. 911 turbo's are very quick. I got done over by a Noble but i was exspecting it to be honest (only 233bhp 255lbs ft in a 1119kg fwd car) that seemed to go quite well but nothing earth shattering tbo. I should have 340-350bhp 280lbs ft in the next 5-6 weeks if rumours are true, a rematch with the Noble would be intresting. I would have thought a gt2 or c4s would be very quick above 140mph.

GT2 yes, they damn quick, in fact when my numbers come up a 911 GT2 tuned to around 600bhp (Standard 475bhp) will be parked on my drive, I love GT2s!

Don't even compare to a C4S tho!

Normally aspirated, 4wd tranny losses etc, rather have a Carrera 2 personally

Madmile · Regular ride

I would go Gt2 tuned as well. Theres one locally driven by a proper turd it never goes over 70mph, what a waste.

If somebody has had the

a; balls

b; money

(in no particular order)

to **** around with the serious 911's then i'm afraid most of us won't have a chance!

(i've been embarrassed on a 916 ducati at the nurburgring by a TOTALLY stripped and mental gt 3)

biggest weight in it was a fire extinguisher!!!!!!

(my ducati takes about 21 seconds to get to 170 mph)

normally, in a well tuned cosworth motor'd car you will destroy some feelings!!!

But some porsche owners play the game as well as we do!!!!

c0ss1e9i6 · Regular ride

gt 2 is a bit of a gay car!!

it won't get to sixty under 5 secs!!!

c0ss1e9i6 · Regular ride

honda, nsx, nismo v-spec!!!

tonight near plymouth on the a 38!!

i knew the cossie was good in the wind!!!!

I thought the Nsx was more of a handling car, and not so much of a power car..well anymore. I thought it had 275bhp which is not much it the current breed of high bhp monster cars. I am sure i wont get near gt2's and the high powered porkers. But i hope to be able to get past a Noble (The 340bhp one, not the 400bhp one) its what people say who already have the conversion. Porsche's top end just seem vey strong aerodynamics more than likely and a high cc motor.

c0ss1e9i6 · Regular ride

Due to the Japanese being mental, they restricted the NSX (like everything else!!!) to 280 BHP but they like tinkering with them, much the same as we do with Cossie's, it looked like an import one to me as i don't think the v spec was released in this country!

Please correct me if i'm wrong!

In standard trim they'll do 0-60 in 5 secs and go on to 165mph!!!

Still belong parked outside the hairdressers though!!!!!!

I have to admit, i cant help myself when i see a scoob or Evo.

They've just (ten years into production ) brought the NSX Type R to this country.

Stunning car

Only 276bhp but certainly makes the most of it!!

Wouldn't be suprised if they more than 276 tho, R34 GTR Skylines are supposed to be 276bhp but make more like 330 when ya stick them on the rollers

I swear they just write 276bhp down for a laugh, whos gonna check........lol

I used to work for a bike shop importing Jap motorcycles, that 112mph limiter is a pain in the ass Easily bypassed tho

gurnE · Administrator Supreme

Oh yea, and while we're on the subject

Had my first tangle with a 'new breed' TVR

Ended up going 20 miles in the wrong direction cos I went after a X plate TVR Tuscan

Was setting up boost controller so was not running full power but still managed to kick his ass

Glued to his ass as we went from the slip road to the outside lane then he had to move over as I sailed past

Proved the point a couple more times before the next junction.

(Well, next but one, was doing about 150 as we came across the next junction and couldn't make it in time )

Was cool when a E36 M3 tried to join in as well............lol

Don't know to be honest!

Not had a chance to get on a rolling road yet! Something always seems to come up!

First job in the spring I promise

Specs in the main site if you want to have a guess!!

Madmile · Regular ride

I know nothing about cossies running 30ish psi on a t34, but a daft guess 380bhp 330lbs ft. Whats your guess am i a mile out?.

gurnE · Administrator Supreme

Don't like guessing power figures tbh but I'd estimate around 380bhp too.

I'd be fcuked right off if torque was 330lb/ft tho!!

Shouldn't be far of the torque figure really 370-380lb/ft

32psi will give you a hell of a wedge of torque!

It's been on the rollers once and got to over 350lb/ft before developing a missfire (plug gaps ) and it was only a power run @ a shootout (A jap shootout..........lol) so couldn't sort it out and run it again

Madmile · Regular ride

Not to bad a guess then, your right about the torque thinking about it. Should be quite quick then.

Ditto on both counts!!!

Will hopefully get up to interpro in late feb/early march!

Want to do my bike as well, as it is keeping up with my mates 134bhp tl and my other mates tuned rsv factory!!!

The old legend just keeps itself on the map!!!!

Need to get cleaning now, this is the cleanest out of the duke, t5 and cossie!!

Bugger!

My Saph 4x4 produces 401Bhp and 346LbsFt torque using Greys, T34, 500 intercooler etc etc.

Easily does away with any Jap stuff, M3's not a problem or standard porsches. New TVR's are a painn cos they are so light, its all about Power to Weight. Tuscan R = 400Bhp and 1000Kg that 400Bhp per Ton!!!!!!

Have had probs with tuned Skylines but they have 3 litres, 2 more cylinders and a spare turbo

At the end of the day you can't beat the look on someones face when a 12 year old Sierra wastes their 40K car!!!!!!!

Madmile · Regular ride

I'll be hitting 305bhp/ton in about 14 days time. Then is jap crap slaying time.

tk427 · Slightly used

Currently running 318 Bhp / Ton and thats a right laugh!!! scares pasengers and jap crap sensless!!

TK

Madmile · Regular ride

Power to weight @ the wheels will be 275bhp/ton. I think the trans loss on 4x4 cossie's are quite high aint they.

tk427 · Slightly used

Unfortunatly yeah the 4x4 is a power drain, makes up for it in traction though!

Doesn't everyone quote flywheel figures? or is it just me largeing it?

Anyone fancy Santa Pod in the new year?

c0ss1e9i6 · Regular ride

I think the main top speed restrictors on the escort cossie are the low gear ratio's (why weren't they six gears ford?? - tooearly i suppose!) and that mahoosive tail, good for high speed cornering, but they must hold the car back at silly speeds!!!

My mate sat underneath mine in his MR2 turbo and said he could feel the speed difference, cause of the hole i was cutting in air! Head to head my cossie would batter his car usually, but when in the slipstream he could keep up with me!
