Anybody know any of these?

British based cars only, 0-60, 1/4's and Top speeds.

I know Sunny has the highest FWD Top Speed at 178, any more?

Fords or otherwise. Ford records good too though.

Thanks

 

Bruce Read's RS 500 (stolen, but not forgoten) did 191,6 mph.. fastest RWD if I'm correct

 

martin h done 194

 

maclaren f1 =top speed
ford RS200evo = 0/60 (or it was)

don't know about qtrs

pugo

 

CRD Supra did 201mph, Maestro did a 11.9 1/4

 

How could I forget about Bruce!!!

pugo: Any figures to go with them mate?

 

ultima 0-100-0 10.3secs

 

i think the maclaren is about 240 mph
the rs200 was done in 1984ish and was low 3's if memory serves with grahame hathaway at the wheel (it was in the guiness book of records as the fastest accelerating production car EVER!!!)

Pugo

 

The JUN akira supra did 249 mph, but a chevy did the same day 252 mph

 

Graham Hathaway is based just down the road from me.

Saw the A1 WRC Escort do a 2.80 at Ford Fair 2004!!

 

My car, being chased by the cops!

 

no rich.....they did also over 260mph

cheers

 

but the fastest car i've ever seen is the thrust. over 1200km/h.

from 0-160-km/h 30sec
but from 160-900km/h 20sec

to give you an idea of the brutal acceleration.

cheers

 

a top fuel dragster does 0-100mph in twice its length, thats 600inches

 

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
