You really dont get it do you m8?! YES its a heap THATS THE f**kING POINT!!!!! It would be great to do it in a 172 but he has done this for a reason! You have even said your self that the GT Tdi box could explain the higher losses and guess which box he has got!? You have said that the turbo is...
His is 285 so why is there even an arguement....why are people getting pissy about it looking like it does when it is supposed to look that way?.....Oh and what is the power to weight on your mates dads ferrari? ;)
It has been built for a purpose...if I put a pic of a new F1 car you wouldnt...
297 is not poss...but 285 is? Hardly a huge difference....maybe this is the reason he mapped to 285 because the turbo WILL do it but wont survive as long? The whole point of the sleeper has been done sooo many times. He has a 172 if he doesnt want to slum it in the turbo but I must admit I would...
Its 285bhp and I didnt think 20% trans loss was amazingly huge. You say 285 with a performance exhaust and guess what....this doesnt have a 1.2 exhaust. Now has a side exit which was on when remapped. Also you could probably get s3/tt/lcr higher that 285 but it would be too risky so they settle...
And what makes you think that the rr yours was on was sooo accurate? Stealth Racing seems to know exatly what they are doing with this.....Im sure you always say you dont believe owt till you have proof and the pic at the top is proof! Is it 270 with std exhaust?
Chris
Not elvington airstrip but very near m8. York dragway is only around the corner...
Also if you used 100shot most of the way down the strip youll run out in no time i would think...it would till need to weight next to nothing and have about 200bhp to start with to get the same performance.
Chris
Youll beat him from launch as he wont be able to get the power down....rolling might be closer but I can keep along side my m8s 260bhp wrx so it should still be the Cup....is the golf stripped or std interior as they are heavy buggers
Chris
Exactly....put a nova on with a huge Vauxhall badge on the bonnet, no matter how well it has been done, and it will get some stick. I agree that is unique but there is a reason for that.
Chris
yeah...all it has is an r-sport (£241), exhaust and decat (£250), open ik (£90). Still isnt amazingly powerful BHP wise (got 151 at the wheels at RE performance) but it has spread the power out a fair bit
Chris
lol yeah it was a little low..tbh I dont usually run it too low except when im running at York.
And at least you know just how steep that hill is Daz :D
Chris
hehe yeah it is a bit of a party piece...when Ive had blasts with my m8s scooby it always amazes him that he is changing to 5th when I am only in 3rd/4th
Chris
hehe air or people? ;)
The reason for the wall at 120mph was that the hill increases in angle...and also the slip road is even steeper lol.
Ill have to get one on the flat somewhere to give a better idea tho
