The 6r4 caused more spectator deaths as it just came to pieces when it crashed and people got bits of body work and engine bits stuck in them aswell as any impact from the car itself + it was a sh*te rally car and its drivers always crashed it as they had to push too hard, u got to remember that they still used em in national rallys for ages after whilst the delta s4s never got used after the 86 WRC.
So the stats kinda come from national rallys not just deaths in the WRC, ur prob right on that side of it actually (the WRC side).

My bro uses this forum sometimes calibraboy hes recently had a upgrde to 300+bhp (at stupid money!) on his calibra turbo 0-60 prob nowt to special but the top speed is.Standard it books at 152mphwith 206 bhp and 7000rpm limiter,so now with the extra 100bhp and 1000rpm got to do over 160. Would pull past my wrx over 120mph(6 speed vs 5)when it was untouched.

(same spec car as the 1 tiff set the 0-60 record in) 2.6 secs or summit like that,
Tiff set the quickest time is a Tiger Z100 if memory serves me correctly, although similar to a twin busa engined caterham, not the same league
IIRC the Z100 uses 2 x ZX9R engines whereas the Caterham would use 2 x 1300 Hyabusa (sp?) engines, although bigger power and capacity, the ZX9R engines propel the Z100 to 60mph quicker than almost every other car on the roads
ahh ok didnt realise that, will let u off
either way it would still be a rocket lol
thats the "lower model" car, the fast one is the Z100WR has 2 x ZX12R engines and 4 wheel drive
Some things to think about, not directed at anyone in particular and all IMHO of course:
A car can be as fast as you like but if you do not want to take it up the quarter mile to actually prove it, youve got nothing. Almost without exception, people who take the piss out of quarter milers are the ones whove never done it themselves. Its a lot more intense than the uneducated would think.
Quarter miling is not the only way to decide on how fast a car is. It is a pretty reliable method but does rely a lot on the drivers skill in getting it off the line. There are a lot of cars - and their drivers - that dont run particularly impressive quarter mile ETs but you watch them pulling 80-100 in fifth side-by-side and theyll destroy a stripped-out quarter-miler.
Quarter mile terminal speed separates the men from the boys. Anything that quarters at over a ton is a proper fast road car, no tricks, no frills, just proper fast.
Does fast mean top speed capability or acceleration? Mine clocked 145mph on the autobahn, thats GPS and genuine, not a clock reading. It felt like it was asking for another 1000 revs to hit 150mph, but driving a 10 year old Clio at that sort of speed goes beyond what you might call fun and becomes a little scary LOL
Does fast mean what you can pull off once with luck on your side and everything in your favour, or is it something you can repeat over and over again without breaking sweat?
Is nitrous cheating or not? I used to run nitrous, now I dont, so I can see it from both points of view.
Can your fast car withstand being run flat out constantly, or will it overheat, run out of gas, throw a rod etc?
DISCUSS. My personal opinion is that you cannot claim to drive any kind of fast car until youve quarter miled it on road tyres. If you can get it accurately timed, 0-100 is possibly the best test of acceleration there is...ends up fast enough to dilute the effects of a bad driver/bad start/front wheel drive and allows the true capability of the car to come through. 0-60 is too biased towards rwd and 4wd cars.

However the fact that he does own that car and its not modded, tweaked, etc... plus Ive not made up the "my cousins 700bhp Lancia with NOS does 2.9secs 0-60" like some posts on here was my point...Quote: Originally posted by y0z2a on 20 December 2004
Rich-D - you started the "my mate" bit didnt you???I love how this thread has become BS central...
Believe it or not the Noble guys daily driver is a mk1 172 and he does (very rarely) post on here, so was a valid inclusion!
Id be a bit pissed off if a 700bhp lancia with NOS only did 0-60 in only 2.9 seconds, lol just kiddin m8Quote: Originally posted by Rich-D on 20 December 2004

11.045 @ 98mph - in a clio ? - unless this is running a bluprinted 351 small block chevy with a supercharger i dont believe it
U know him too!!!, what a conicydink, lolQuote: Originally posted by Hector on 21 December 2004
My 3rd cousins, best mates, dads boss has a reliant robin with three engines, 13 turbochargers, an 850hp shot of nitrous and an afterburner feature which allows the robin to outrun an F-15 on a straight!

its a 5 - not a clio
And another thing...you cant count any standard cars. If youre talking about whos fastest and you allow standard cars to compete, then its really just a pissing contest...whos got the most money. PLus it really needs to be Clios anyway.
Jon I tell you what well do mate, cos IMHO youre a better driver than me but I reckon my cars a lot faster than yours...this year, come down to the French Car Show which is at Bruntingthorpe again, just as far, if not further, for me as for you. Well go up side by side, get the 0-60 timed, get the 1/4 mile timed, get 0-100 timed if we can, and then just keep going along the straight until we run out of runway. What do you reckon?
