You need to be hitting 200mph in under a mile i reckon to really be in with a chance of cracking properly into the 210+ range
Whatever happens, its going to be great fun to follow the progress on here, especially if Rod can do anything to rise the bar up a little further first to really make you work for it
Best of luck to both of you
there is little doubt in my mind that my escort will do the 200mph but to beat rod without the use of gas may be a tall order... we will see. i really want the new car to be like the old one on a greater scale i.e. a good all rounder so if it does a monster 0-60 and 1/4mile and goes on to exceed 200 and does well on the track then i will be a happy bunny. i get a bigger kick out of creating something new with loads of bits that are not available off the shelf.
a standing start at the bottom of brunters against rod is deffo on the cards!
