I haven't exactly kept this quiet lol... As some of you know K-tec asked on Cliosport for a lightly modded 197 to be put up against a Valver for a 'Old vs New' feature.

We all met up at Santa Pod Raceway on a cold, damp November morning and spent most of the day with the photographers taking pics. There were some pretty tasty cars with some serious power, including an awesome new Focus RS, a new GT-R and a rapid Evo 10. The feature was very light-hearted and nobody was taking anything too seriously, which was cool.

Later on we did some timed 0-60 and 0-100 runs, but due to the quarter mile being too slippery we had to use the run-off at the end of the strip. We didn't have much space for the runs and time was against us, so I only got one run and braked earlier than I could've meaning that I didn't clock a 0-100 time. Despite this and the wheelspin I managed a respectable 0-60 time of 6.9s which I was happy enough with, the Valver got 7.4s.

As I've said it was all a bit of a laugh and I really enjoyed it, here are some of the pics from the day...

Who does the valver belong to, they on here ? It looks nice, love grey !

 

[Mr Burns]

Dunno mate, I'd agree a Williams would've been cooler!

0-60 sounds very respectable.

If you get round to it mate, look up a seller caller ' uber9 ' (without the ' bits) he does them, that's where I got my ap ones from, he's done loads

 

[nby]

where'd you get it from mate?

 

[Mr Burns]

where'd you get it from mate?

I am the 'Orböring Sticker' person, but it would only make sense if you'd actually driven the infamous Orböring in it's full glory

 

[RussZS]

I wanted to see more pics of you x

Do you want me to buy you some Brembo stickers? Do you want black?

 

[terryc101]
