my pets previous owners step-sons great uncles accountants brother knew some people who knew a guy who had attached a jet engine to his clio and is now generating 7,000 bhp and has done the quater-mile in 0.00001 seconds but he reckons if he rips the rear seats out and gets rid of his climate control hell be able to do it at 0 seconds dead!

Nick and 2live,
What are the respective power and weights of your two cars out of interest? And Nick what was your car originally?
I think you will find my car is the fasted seeing as ive won more f1 championships than i can remember
you stupid british fools
ps i drive a enzo during the week but id rather have a Clio 182 in racing blue with the stripes and cup packs
that R5 GTT that does the 12.1s does do it on slicks though... Ive got the vid and the bloody thing launches like a 4wd!
nick mate......no problems fella.....il probs be there again anyway so il get mine timed this year........like iv said before.......mine seems to pan urs off the line and up to bout 80ish...theats where urs comes back at me.......would be good to see flat out tho...........maybe changing cars int too bad an ida either....let us both feel the pure/forced power of each others cars
Jesus/Jon - Ive been mulling that one over myself lads. I think itll be worth a bit of a swap over at our next showdown to see whats what. I reckon if you drove it Jon youd be astonished at what it could do in your hands. Only thing is youd have to get used to the clutch. Cant slip it or anything and theres hardly any bite point. Just give it 3000 revs or more and dump it. I have to do that just to get off my driveway in the morning!
Ben - FCS is Sunday 29th May at Bruntingthorpe. Havent seen you for years mate, literally years. Last time was outside Donny in the car park in 2002?
Fiat Coupe 20v turbo
I have to agree Jons car is very quick but its even quicker in his hands....he gets low/dead 2.2 60 ft times every time at the 1/4 mile but Ive never got better than a 2.30! Would be interesting to see Nick and Jons cars go head to head, hell I might come down to watch...and if my car is sorted i might even get close to you two!
PMSL.
Ive never read so much b*llocks.
You guys really do talk a good tale, on the most part your just dreamers nothing wrong with that but its when you start believing it yourself!!
I suggest some of you get out more.
My REAL 1/4 times not quoted book times.
grale approx 240bhp 14.6 96mph 60ft 2.1sec
st205 gt4 approx 280ish bhp 13.9 104mph 2.0sec
Merry Crimbo
the top spec 6R4s have about mailto:400bhp@approx"> 400bhp approx 10,000rpm these engines usually retail for approx £30,000, top spec cars about £60-80k.

No disrespect Stu but your 1/4 mile times seem pretty slow... I know the 4wd saps a bit of power but Id expect the amazing traction off the line to more than even this out. Compare the times to....
My Williams mailto:14.70@93mph">14.70@93mph 2.3 60ft 129 bhp atw
2lives Williams mailto:14.07@98mph">14.07@98mph 2.2 60ft 139 bhp atw
I expect both the grale and gt4 to be quicker TBH?
No problem,
they both loose approx 80-90 bhp through the trans AFAIK, but as im sure you will find power will have to go up massively to get any quicker just the law of diminishing returns.
Look at the big power boys, norris evo etc 700bhp to do 10s so in reality not too bad
gt4 1400kg
grale 1300kg
A mate did 14s all day in his m3 e46 thats all it could do regardless of launch and you must admit there not slow.

Punto/Clio GTT
last time i went to pod my clio 1.4s maxim done the 1/4 in 7 seconds flat at 176mph. only mods are cliosport rear sticker which apparantly gives me 700 bhp and some rear downforce. allowin me to power up the straight.

And I second that.
Willy WIlliams - it was and still is a 16v. Just its turbocharged now.
Stu8V...just interested to know, who exactly do you think are the dreamers on here? Most of us left still on this thread are hardened quarter milers who dont claim anything unless weve got the ticket to back it up.
Getting back to quarter miling theory, my experience is that whatever time you lose on the 60ft, you lose at the line, and then some. So Jon usually runs the 60ft in 2.2, I on the other hand struggle to get under 2.5. So best case for me head to head with Jon is that hes at least 0.3 in front once were both getting proper traction. Now if I could get that 60ft sorted like he can, that would take at least 0.3 off my ET, although Id probably lose a little terminal speed as well. But Id be then looking at high 13s. Anyway Ive got a plan, which is going into effect first time I can get up to the Pod in January or February. If its a dry Sunday, Im there.

GTiR 394bhp
My knackered old engine did a 12.7sec @ 107mph with a slipping clutch.I should see mid 11secs @ 115mph or so on the new spec when finished running in over January/February.
Markus, my pal had a 400bhp GTIR, doubt it would see an 11.5 1/4 mile though. Thats maclaren F1 pace.
As to 1/4 mile times, unless run at the pod they mean nothing IMO. Anyone can strip the car, and run on petrol fumes. York times and pod times vary quite a bit.
I reckon 60 onwards myself and hippychick will need something special to convincingly pass us 60-160.
Coming soon to a forum near you....
Whos car is fastest?

Theres more than one way to skin a cat and more than one way to get 400bhp.Its been built for reliability and would take more power on a bigger turbo&wilder cams but I chose this spec for a reason.Im pretty confident Ill hit mid 11s but well have to see.
Ive run a 12.3sec @ 110mph at the pod in a mates car with less power than mine had when I ran at York,so make sense of that.York is also an official FIA venue so thats good enough for me,if not you
I doubt Id pass anybody 60-160 as Ive had a custom ratio box made which will top out around 150mph.Im considering having a second map with an 8000rpm rev limit though for 1/4 miling/topspeed runs(such as TOTB)which would allow me to stay in 4th over the line and hit around 160mph or so.
Im aiming for 0-60 in approx 3.5secs,0-100 in approx 8-9secs with lots of midrange torue and minimal lag.
My comments where never aimed at the genuine racers just the dreamers who think tinkering will give monster power.
Out of interest what spec/power are you guys got to be running 14s?
About 4-5 years ago my mate had a valver with a chip, exhaust, filter, and really sticky tyres SO2s and he couldnt beat mid 15s on the strip. At the time it was one of the quickest when we went to the RWYBs at York but saying that they where never that popular then.
Fiat Coupe 20v turbo
Stu8v-The only valvers that run 14s are ones with the williams f7r engine, this alone will get you into the high 14s or even mid 14s if the engine is tweaked (rebuilt/chipped) to get below 14.4 cams are required to get down to 14.1/14.2 ..these cars are also either totally stripped or have back seats/shelf etc out and have approx 175/180 bhp....
Skiddusmarkus- i look forward to seeing your beast down at York RWYB I got hooked last year and Im hoping to go to 4-5 next year...
