Who has the fastest car here?

[Rick]

Thanks Gaz

On the road mine does between 4 and 5 seconds 0-60 on 195/45/15 road tyres with wheelspin in 1st/2nd and 3rd gear

Up pod on hoosier slicks my best 0-60 time is 2.49,the rest of the time its 2.6 2.7ish and 0-100 is low 6's

And best quarter mile et is 10.58 @ 130mph. Hitting rev limiter in 4th gear across the line though @8100rpm.

 

that made me moist

I'm not sure if Terry's car has gone quicker than Kevs without gas though mate . Someone will know though , let's ask Kev

[Guest MK1gaz]

mr puddys is road legal

his 500+ bhp turbo engine don't work and is slower than Toby's pre-xflow

 

Yes and I only have 163 bhp according to Torque of the Devil!!

 

One thing having all that power, its another thing using it all - unless smokey and sideways is your thing

Yours will probably hit 250 bhp on the engine dyno Puddy's engine was on !!!!!!!!

[V8ian]

How fast, Dunno on the road, but is a 1.604 ft 60ft any good on street tires.

He won't cos he's busy "pimping his ride" to run on 18 inch chrome spinners

Im not 100% sure what time he has done without gas,i seem to remember him saying 10.6 or 10.7 but we are talking about a ladder bar equipped car compared to a £130 rally design 4 link kit

His 60ft times are 1.4's compared to my 1.6's most of the time. Ive only got a 1.59 once on my old engine. If i could get some more grip off the line and stop wheelspinning then maybe it would do a 10.4 or 10.3,but who knows if that will happen or not

I insist on not fitting gas to my car,for one i cant afford it and 2 when the engine goes pop i cant afford to repair that either

I maybe selling my nearly new MG4 Hoosiers soon and get some taller and wider tyres for it,like 8" wide of something.

With gas yes,without gas no

[Guest MK1gaz]

[kevmk2]

Runs 13's without gas mate,thats ladder barred and tubbed with 325 or 335 wide tyres

[Posse]

do ladder bars make you go faster?

only if your wheelspinning or not going around corners

With gas yes,without gas no

 

is that not still class as normally asperated though, that was my point !

forced induction means super/turbocharged

shite am i opening up a can of worms here

[kevmk2]

Yes mate,it puts the eqivilant to around 2 ton of weight onto your rear tyres as you launch,as it puts the center of gravity towards the middle of the car as you launch or something like that. As you launch the cars body goes up and puts the weight down on the tyres.

Most of the boys in malta run ladder bars,thats why they launch so well and are a one type of race sort of car,only good for quarter mile stuff.

But then with ladder bars it makes your car only good for going in straight lines,no good for bends as it lifts the rear wheels in the corners.

Yes it is a bloody excellent time mate,theres not many escorts n/a doing them times,come to think of it i havnt seen any in this country do 10's with a 4 pot n/a engine. And kev's still on a 4 link kit

Kev ill whip you around a track any day m8

You probably would mate depends if its a short twisty track or one with long straights,you cant beat aspirated power on the shorter track,instant grunt but on the longer tracks i would be waving bye bye

Thing is ive got the sort of power now that demands a tyre size of at least a 235 or bigger,im doing it on 195 normal run of the mill road tyres. If i put some sticky tyres on it for the track it would be alot better
