well i've just found on a site i use alot this!!!!! Is it true?

"Woooo

Many Cossies have done "unnoficial" 200mph+ on the Motorways (or the Gumball, lol) but the record at Bruntingthorpe (as theres not much room) with timing gear on was still in the high 190s.

Not any more!

Rod Tarrys RWD sapphire cossie, not stripped or lightened in any way, plain old 2litre cossie lump, is being timed today...

FIRST RUN TIMED 199.8 MPH
SECOND RUN 201.8 MPH



Thats not even at full power, far from it, as the exhuast is far too small so theres a 100+bhp more to come from that car!"

Not full power as exhaust is CRAP.

Its running a 3" mongoose system which is restrictive even at 500bhp (When they did back to back live maps with a 3" zorst on a 550bhp cossie then put a 4" one on, the 4" one needed around 20% extra fuel added top end, so can imagine the extra power potential when they build a 4" for it, esp as this cars 600+).

The engine was dynod at a bit over 600bhp (cant remember how much over) on pump fuel, but it has a 150bhp (or more, i forget) direct port Nitrous setup on it too, but the exhaust is that poor theres no point using that yet either
