99hjhm Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 WOW!Looking at that power curve, it would be well over 400BHP if the rev limit was higher! Not that it would make much difference! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben16v Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 been in a g40 with 200bhp and that was frightening and a corrado with 300bhp so was that! i even think i would not get into your car it must be awesome - good work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it would make much difference! LOLHaha, yea 400bhp would have been a nice round figure i suppose, out of the dyno runs the highest we saw was 398bhp and the lowest 391bhp dependant on conditions but about 393 was the average You never know one day i might make the break lol.Thank you all fot your comments, much appreciated And i do occasionally frequent coventry Sam.

My_Names_Buck Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 thats unreal acceleration !!! thats awesomehaha thank you, it just pulls and pulls all the way! plus the rev limit was raised slightly when it was last mapped giving about another 5mph top end so i reckon its toppin bout 150mph now.

My_Names_Buck Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Had a good day on sunday at santa pod, day started off well and had a good morning, had awesome weather I thought! was struggling to get power down off the line and was seriously affecting my quarter mile times! best I managed to pull was a 13.1 which is only 0.5 better than I managed with over 100bhp less! So much time was being lost as I was only on my standard tyres, but I think I was getting better getting it off the line every time! I was very happy with my terminal speeds as they were between 113 and 117mph!A few pictures from before I left to go down there.And..... How the day ended.... :/Broken driveshaft! on my first run in the afternoon I put my R888's on and it got off the line so much better, as I dropped it into second, bang and all drive was lost Sam.
