Bags more torque though ;)

What you done to the CTR?
True, I only have 158lb/ft of torque and 208bhp, but then again it only weighs 1204kg so a lot lighter than a V6, although way heavier than a 172 or a Cup. :oops:

Check out my impressive torque curve though >>>

Mmmmmmm... flat!



Only mods to mine are a cat-back exhaust and a BMC CDA, so I am very pleased with the results!

182bhp per tonne
Only 9 more than my CTR though... ;)








Its still more on bog standard.....now if the CTR was Mid-Engined RWD and had the looks of the V6 I might consider one.....lol :)

Lighteness will depend on how many compromises you are prepared to make. I am looking at removing carpets and any soundproofing, all trim over the engine, all ICE, air conditioning, replacing rear glass areas with lexan or similar and then ditching the seats for something that actually provides support.

It will be ugly and noisy inside but it will be lighter and that should help things. IMHO its one of the v6s major problems - its just too fat!
 


I couldnt do without my Climate control..... or sound proofing or ICE, infact I will not take owt out of my 255, just give it some NOS what I want a burst of speed...that will do for me :)

Mike T has stripped out 150kg I think it is from his Mk1
Thats impressive and more like it should be...

1335kg - 150kg = 1185kg



Will fly!
Indeed, especially with 340bhp ( I think ) and climbing.




Yeah, according to Mikes recent post on here somewhere think u can add another 100bhp onto that soon after his next mod.
 
  Forester Sti, SC Clio V6,


mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Procharger C2 (1100CFM), Twin ITG airboxs, HKS bypass, Pace air to water intercooler (400lbft, 400-475bhp (depending on variable boost), gearing, carbon seats, might just take the Honda!

Note to self - must stop now, must stop now



Tims V6 Torque curve with NOS is just a dream, just a dream, dont worry!
