Santa pod times : Ph2 172

[Shaun!]

Boys and girls,

one of my close friends has a smart for4 Brabus running approx 184bhp (I belive 177bhp is standard ?) and has invited me to go to santa pod this year I suppose on the basis that he'll whup my ass.

My question is, what are standard 2001 172's running at santa pod? He said to me that he ran 92mph terminal speed and 15sec quarter mile. Is that particularly quick? I haven't been to santa pod before so have nothing to compare it against.

Will I get bent over ?

Thanks

PS ... Any comments abusing the Smart will be greatly appreciated as I will be forwarding this link to him (Unless you guys all say I'm gonna get trounced)

will be close... as most 182s \ 172s run in the 15s ive not seen that many beat 15s.

 

[Riley!]

seen standard cups run in the mid-high 14's but cant comment on the non-cup's

 

[Mr.AdamB]

this forum needs a 1/4 mile table..... WHY hassnt it got one?.

 

[Alan]

I seen a 172 CUP do an 11.8 at Crail once..

it's a ph1 right?

fully strip it out for the day including passenger seat and you might see 14's with a good launch

Title says Ph2 so i gather it must be a 197...

Book figure's for quarter mile's >

Phase 1 - 14.92

Phase 2 - 15.19

Standard quarter mile time on the Brabus is 14.90, to summarise, you should have bought a Phase 1.

 

[Riley!]

dont you mean he should of bought a cup lol

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

dont you mean he should of bought a cup lol

Meh

 

[Nick172Cup]

If you took the interior out of it, like the rear bench and cards and maybe the passenger seat, I would of thought that you would easily get into the 14's. My old clio 16v was pretty much a standard engine but stripped and it got a 14.85 @ 90mph!

Would be good to have a 1/4 mile table, but im sure the trackdayers will have something to say about it!

[Riley!]

Meh

I can keep goin alllll day lol

 

[Tucker]

what are standard 2001 172's running at santa pod?

threw me off danny

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

There are a few 2001 'Y' plate Phase 2's cutting around matey. I got the same sarcastic retort when i asked the very same thing you did lol

 

[Shaun!]

MINES A STANDARD (BAR A FILTER AND soon to be stainless system) ph2. the brabus is apparently running 184ps I believe ?

I concur that downlow he ll pull away what witht he turbo an all, but higher up in the rev range ???

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

If its wet it should be intresting with the Brabus being RWD?

 

[Riley!]

be worse for the 172 getting off the line

brabus 4four is front wheel drive

 

[Riley!]

is it really?

in that case you should smoke him. Less frictional loss for fwd FTW

 

[Shaun!]

boys and girls, just so we're clear we're talking about one of these, not the little 2 seater

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

be worse for the 172 getting off the line

It would be a good showdown either way, Brabus is 163 bhp per ton

 

[Riley!]

you deserve a 1point fine for posting up an indecent picture there my friend in accordance to the new rules! Yuck!

 

[Shaun!]

Do you not like it? I actually dont mind the way it looks, albeit it a little plasticky and cheap inside (my friend despises the fact I refer to it as "the lego car") but if we're talking build quality I can hardly crow ??

 

[Riley!]

cant stand any of the smart range to be perfectly honest, like you say they just look plastic. And a lot of them look like the sort of thing a OAP would drive

 

[Shaun!]

horses for course an all........

 

[Shaun!]

I seen a 172 CUP do an 11.8 at Crail once..

What planet are you on Alan ? was it being towed by a Eurofighter ?

 

[Riley!]
