Steffro Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 The air resistance at that speed would be pretty damn high, and lupos arnt exactly aerodynamic (at 175 mph). Also, I think it would be pretty unstable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouseau Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 i dont know if it could do the speed, but you would be crazy to do so. you would need 175mph rated tyres for a start unless you want a blow out. and it would be very unstable. and if you hit something...

Putney Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 i wouldn't fancy my chances crashing in that a 50 let alone 150! Be very suprised if it would do 175mph.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 this is a good opportunity to see the resale market value of this kind of conversion, i think it will be quite low price, certainly no where near £7k. half that i expect.pretty sure venoms old one sold for about £8k ish but i could be wrong , but apparently its now in a scrappy after the guy crashed it or so the word on the street is up here style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) to do 175 would take more than just a conversion mates polo tt , fairly modded knock's on close to that figure and is around 300bhp.

Clouseau Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 £4500 was the final value price bid. so closer to half (£3750) of the asking price (£7500) than nearer to full price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam K Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 £4500 was the final value price bid. so closer to half (£3750) of the asking price (£7500) than nearer to full price.with reserve not met, so it didn't sell style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouseau Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 yes, no one wants to pay over £4500 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam K Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 yes, no one wants to pay over £4500 for it.doesn't mean it isn't worth more than that.i'm sure plenty of people think it's a bargain at 7500 and would buy it if they had the cash.

Mitchell Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 in all seriousness a car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it...at edition 38 last year i was aproached {sp}and offered 8 k for mine.i declined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouseau Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 yes it down to probabilites. i guesed right he would get nowhere near 7.5k for it even though others have said its easily worth it. it could be someone sometime with the right money will buy it for 7.5k. but the chances of it happening are not good.
