As I seem to keep arguing with the supercharged boys. Weight is only an issue at lower speeds. Much above say 100mph and its just about power and Aerodynamics. At big speed... weight is just irrelevant.
but from say 10-120mph I TOTALLY agree with you!
bet it goes like stink :)
Met him lots of times. Always very friendly and a true Petrol head. He took the time to visit me in hopsitals in both Morroco and in UK.
VERY nice guy in my experience!
sorry I didn't see this Eddyg, didn't mean to be rude!
I like it alot.... but I don't get REALLY excited by it the same way I do about new 458Italia.
Next car if all goes well and I can afford it would be either the 458spider when it comes out in few years time or a Carrera GT.
Both...
Excellent response.
Thanks.
I did ring up K-tec on friday. Spoke to a 'Sean or Shaun' about my concerns about noise limits of a trackday.
Was actually quite offended as he kinda 'laughed at me' and that he has never heard of that and its only the noise coming out the back that I should...
great cars. No doubt. I was lucky enough to drive one a few times...
A friend has an F40 and an F50.. Will dig out a really sexy pic. Hold on
Carrera GT or F50 are way more desirable for me personally.
I like supercars without roofs! I am an Essex hairdresser at heart you see ;)
One of the things I like so much about F50 is the rear wheels. I could stare at them for ages! and the way you can see EVERYTHING through that rear vent. Was sooo cool to go out in it :)
I have a little video of inside where u can hear engine and also some more pics. Will upload tomorrow
No traveling to port elizabeth and capetown as well as joburg. Tickets are fairly easy mate. Pm dates and games you want to go to and I wil try and hook you up.
Yes. Top comes off :)
Here is one I spotted at the Monaco GP.
Monaco is amazing for supercar spotting!
it's great for other types of spotting as well ;)
this was view from our boat
Still loving that little pic of my Clio! Looks soo tough!
Yesterday was fun little morning. Met some nice people are had a ride out in the Ferrari F50. Turns out me and the owner are in same business ad know lots of the same people.
Lovely guy. Owner was such a nice bloke as well
Took mine straight off and fitted a sport cat.
I like loud exhausts. HATE drone though.... was unbearable. Car feels no different performance wise with the Ktec sport cat but is soooo much better to drive on motorway.
Thinking of getting one of these kits. Worried about Noise a bit at Bedford.... A few of my friends have been kicked off track at Bedford in 205's with ITB's
Anyone been to Bedford with the Ktec kit on?
any problems?
is the ECU all sorted now?
dont want any dash light problems if possible.
She is HUGE petrol head. Great driver of any car. Seriously quick on track in the Sierra. Did a Datron timed sub 4 sec 0-60 and over 180mph at Brunters in the 911. Also rides Superbikes. she had a proper race tuned R1 few years back.
doesn't always get it right though... Dubai last year...
Been meaning to come up for years... you will know Andy Gallagher yes?
I know him through Ford scene. He said he will show me what its all about up there! :cool:
seen some videos. Looks at INCREDIBLE track!
Andy can PROPERLY PEDAL MAN!
ALOT closer than you think!!!
Ferrari on normal road tyres (and a VERY shonky part warn left front!) ... so not that fair to compare.
But I would say for 75% of the lap the Clio is faster. The front end grip and turn in was INCREDIBLE!
I almost stuck the Ferrari into the wall a few times...
Exactly roll cages are HARD and designed not to move. Hitting one with your head is not ideal! (Thats kinda why I will never know how I survived that 140mph roll in the Escort with no belts on... guess it wasnt my time to die?)
also I thought if I wear a helmet in the Ferrari it will just...
Its been fun digging out the piccys from over the years and bought back some great memories. Loads more I could post but don't wanna look like a t**t. So I will just continue to post stuff I have done that is relevant to thread and things people post.
This site has an AWESOME vibe. People are...
