ooh controversial. surely this will be the match to the flame. can't believe it's been almost 2 pages and no arguments yet. are people finally getting bored p.s Loopz - believe the guys on the CTR forum

most manufacturers bhp claims are wrong. it depends on a lot of things (like the fuel used and the ambient air temperature) but the main one being the dyno that is used to measure the power. it's quite a well known fact amongst ctr owners that as standard, they only produce around 155 wbhp. even...

nice one mate. you must get pretty good traction off the line then. or have the reactions of a jedi. (or both)

quality vid that. but seriously, talk about picking on the little ones. you big bully. clio v6 vs a 106 gti. thats like a 5th year kid stealing a 1st year kids lunch money. At least that what i thought at first, until i saw the scooby in the background. well done for beating him mate. That clio...

it looked to me that right at the very start of the race the clio was ahead. either the evo driver decided to take it easy on his clutch and pull away sympathetically or that the clio is rapid off the line

i thought that was a good vid that. love the integra. gotta be the best type r ever. Honda have seriously messed up by not selling it in europe imo. i'm sure it'd do well. i'd buy one

i'm really starting to like cars in white. that focus looks the tits. sometimes white can really make the car. look at the jdm civic type r. The nuts!

i was going from all these 'supercar' comments that i kept reading but looking back on the thread it seems you didn't actually say anything of the sort as you pointed out. i think my ctr can get to 100 in under 14, at least according to my apexi rev/speed meter. i've also had it to 160mph on the...

i like the look of em too. by all accounts they are great cars. they use a 2.5 litre 5 cylinder turbo engine sourced from a volvo. they hit 60 in around 6.5-7 seconds, and go on to around 150. you can get em in three specs, ST1, ST2 and you guessed it, ST3. All engines and kerb weights are the...

not exactly heavily modded, just a few breathing mods and an upgraded ecu with remap. heavily modded would be 300+ i.e a supercharger. many ctr's are running my spec. also, not "almost as fast as a Clio V6". That wouldn't make sense considering I was ahead of it. Therefore faster...

you must be the clever one simon. well done for pointing that out. except maybe you didn't read the bit where my i said my car wasn't mind blowingly fast, just quite quick. i never once said it was a really fast car. in fact I said that if I could beat a clio v6 then the clio couldn't be that...

my ctr is not standard. i wasn't originally gonna say anything coz lets face it, I can't prove it. but then i kept reading how some people think they're the fastest thing going so I couldn't help myself. but in my experience of coming up against clio v6's, i,ve always got the better of them...

yeah the seats are good. maybe you're right. come to think of it there probably isn't that much in it to 100. off the line though they are rapid. i'd love to just be able to floor my car and then dump the clutch but i'm afraid i won't get very far and my front tyres will not be impressed

i've been half a cars length ahead of a v6 255 at upto and over 140mph in my ctr. they're not that fast ffs!

it doesn't actually take that long on the road. dyno runs are done in 4th gear (sometimes 3rd) so thats why there's about 8 seconds of lag. i've seen a vid of that car on the road and on the strip. i tried to find it before writing this post but i couldn't but its somewhere on the ctr forum. the...

as well as the extra weight cars carry these days it also has a lot to do with emissions laws. tuning and boosting smaller engines normally increases emissions levels to beyond legal levels. another reason for big engine hot hatches is that peolpe seem to want their hot hatches to also be...

i don't think a standard cup is quicker than an r32 to 100. i'm quite sure the golf would be pulling after 60. when you said yours was b4 do you mean when it was std?

my mate had an R32 for about a year and a half. they are brilliiant cars I have to say. but it depends what you want from a car. upto about 80 it won't be much quicker than a clio and arguably less fun to drive. also it will drink a lot more fuel. those are the downsides. on the upside: they...

it's been done before. there's a way to swap the dials over so the speedo looks like the rev counter. think about how quick that thing is. 0-100 would be around 7 seconds. that is possible in a fwd car but not with 300bhp. an aerial atom has 300bhp and is considerably lighter than even a...

ctr = 100bhp per litre (almost). s2000 = even more i think the engine in the s2000 produces the 2nd most bhp/litre of any naturally aspirated road car. i think ferrari is first with the 360

and the silliest question award goes to............... seriously what the hell?

ctr was ahead at every stage of the lap, from start to finish. how do you explain that

here i am guys. looks like i've been caught. good work hellsbells! in fairness though what i said was absolutley true. a lot of you on here could not accept that a ctr beat a clio even though it was round the same track with the same conditions and the same driver. that really is being in...

Good point. My argument is that achieving a 12.0 in the civic which is heavier than a clio, still comfortable and not too noisy to drive, road legal and very reliable is quite impressive. Matt's clio has an entirely different engine, a powerful turbo, a lot less weight and more power. It is...

you're contradicting yourself a bit here mate. first you said a 350bhp ctr would be lucky to get a 13.0 dead. that's clearly a load of rubbish. Then you said he only managed to knock 0.1 seconds off with nos. With gas Scott managed to knock off over half a second. He ran a 12.0. The site has...

yeah there are plenty of s/c civic running sub 13's. it just depends on the charger. rotrex make well over 300bhp at 16+psi but only make max torque at 8000+ rpm. jackson racing has a much flatter torque curve and therefore produce more power earlier on. so usually a 290-300bhp jackson racing...

have a look on letstorquebhp.com or almost any car mag (evo's a good one) or do a search. or look at parkers guide. or find a few young looking chaps down the pub and join in with there conversation. or take it from me 0-60 = 6.5-7.2 seconds 0-100= 16.5-18 seconds depending on the spec these...

Lustyclio oh right. i full agree with ya mate. the reason i asked is coz i thought you might have meant you like the sudden boost of power you get on the cam changeover and i was going to say with a supercharger you don't really feel this. with a blower, the power is more linear and just...

boo! boost it:D
