I assume that you pulled out to overtake and the guy behind just tried to keep up, perfectly normal behaviour

On a completely different tack, Rod, I like the corner mill.

The square hole mill is unreal very very clever.
Im sorry if i broke any rules if you like i can remove it. Your right just a normal overtake

.

Its all relative. With 700bhp it feels slow compared to 900bhp.
The vid shows a test run with 900bhp anyone that knows Bruntingthorpe will know the first exit right is at about 1/2 mile. We reach 187mph & brake into the corner. The Data Log showed 170-180mph in 1.93 secs - now thats fast

. The run was aborted because of a slight misfire.

Marvellous stuff, we are not worthy young Rod

**Quicksilver** · 18-11-2011, 06:36 AM

Rod your still the man....

**MasterAuron** · 18-11-2011, 08:09 PM

Jesus Rod!

OG can you put my FRS into your simulator? What do you need to know?

***T9 man*** · 18-11-2011, 08:30 PM

^^^ I would be very interested to see those results

**MasterAuron** · 18-11-2011, 08:31 PM

Low 13's I would imagine/hope. Not built for straight line speed though, corners are their forte.

***T9 man*** · 18-11-2011, 08:35 PM

Low 13's sounds very respectable to me! If you make it into the 12's I will treat you to a huge all you can eat Full English Breakfast at the cafe of your choice! In the UK that is

CoD - We will assume .35
Frontal area - The shape of the hole the car will just fit though (ignoring mirrors). or width times height will do at the speeds we are talking about

**MasterAuron** · 19-11-2011, 08:55 PM

So 1440 x 1762? I think that might be with mirrors but hey ho. That's 2537280mm lol.

***old-git*** · 20-11-2011, 01:26 AM

OK.

Bear in mind that there are many more variables:
Track temp
Weather conditions
Altitude
Tyre type
Launch RPM
Gear change RPM
Power graph shape
Gear change speed
etc, etc

Results......

0-60mph - 5.03
0-100 - 11.89
1/4 mile - 13.59/107mph (The 1/4 mile calc on this site reckons 12.91)
Top speed - 153mph

The right weather conditions, sticky tyres and track and a perfect launch and T9 could be buying you breakfast

**MasterAuron** · 20-11-2011, 11:53 AM

I'm happy with that tbh as I said the car's not designed nor have I built it for straight line speed or I'd have just stuck a 35R on lol. Haha yeah I'll hold T9 to that, best get practising my launches!

Have had 150mph on the nat sav on private road before lifting off and I wouldn't say it had much more to give so 153mph sounds pretty close. Will be doing the MLR 30-130 day next year so I will be able to do a proper top speed run.

That said it should be running more than 314hp now!

I will at the 30-130 day with the GTRoc on the saturday so might see you there

PS We should try to do some southern meets

**MasterAuron** · 20-11-2011, 12:19 PM

That'd be awesome, will there be some R34 GTR's there?

Don't think there was any last year from what I remember of the results table.
