The best Cossie you say- On this Forum that could start a world war. Thats subjective & lots of people think theirs is the best.

I beat a 355 in a Stage 3 saph no worries.
When I was on greys/T34 I had no problem dispatching another one.

Lovely cars but not particulary fast in a straight line. Not alot of torque.

I still want one though

Sorry but that looks like a total Micky Mouse event!!!

Its obvious they are not really going to give away that money. The only real prizes are the Ł200 ones that are Ł50 LESS than the entry fee

i once had a play with a 355, Gareth T and his g/friend were passengers

i was stage 1 / 14psi

from 90-150 it was if we had a bar between us holding us together, nothing in it at all.

but i'm guessing he would be me top end

I once had a play with a 355 with a Tubi exhaust.

The play consisted of me winding down the window, urging him to floor it, and then quickly jeffing one off to the sound

A mate of mine had a 550 for a bit, and that was awesome. Utterly irrelevant really, but there wasn't a lot in that up to 110-ish (Stg3 Saff/25psi), was giving it full whack to only pull a car length or so, then he pissed off like I was going backwards

Mr Duck,

After Porkies experience in the Gumball i would definately not call him a chicken mate,

The prize money just sounds a little OTT

Do you actually know who Porkie is, one thing he isnt is 'Chicken'.
He owns a 600+bhp Cosworth & its probably the fastest road legal car around a track on this Forum.
Mines the Fastest Cossie in the UK & would beat on Enzo, but i would not challenge the likes of Lee's car around the twisties.

Why do you require fast cars surely even a modded Nova can reach 70mph which is the max the rules will allow you to go. Must be frustrating to be half way past a guy doing 69.9mph & he speeds up.
This is a wind-up surely.
