Default The most MENTAL car on this board??????

I think I went in it today!

Polly X's huge BHP, big spec Cossie T4 Turbo'd, anti lagged, 600kg Westfield with a 6 speed sequential gearbox...

You think you have been in some fast cars... and then THIS

I genuinely had my eyes closed for 90% of the time!!! truely insane car!!!

and don't forget with no windscreen and being very loud and your ass 2mm off the floor makes it feel even FASTER still!

Only have a Few pony phone pics! but its a MENTAL car which is beautifully assembled. The attention to detail is amazing! as is the level of kit on it!

TOP car, TOP bloke. He has a lovely fleet of awesome cars and a beautiful wife and a gorgeous little baby girl! You are a lucky man mate

Thanks again. and post some proper pics mate for everyone to enjoy... its an AMAZING car and you have done most of it yourself!

I know it's sequential but does the gearstick have to be that long.



Maria looks well.

Too crazy for me!

Small, light, and crazy fast is the way forward though for a fun car

You don't have to move your hand so far from the steering wheel to change gear like that though so it's much better for a fast car!!

I think its a leverage thing as well as what Dom said. Sequentials and dog boxs need very positive and firm inputs I think.

Spot on. Exactly the reason why and trust me keeping both hands on the wheel is required.

Cheers for the kind words Lee. Glad you popped over as I had not driven it myself since Sept and had forgot just how scary it is too! I only had my eyes shut 50% of the time! Didnt get a chance to really open it up today, infact I dont think we really got out of 3rd gear as things kept approaching too fast! Hope Maria wasnt too scared. She seemed more comfortable than me or you actually!!!!

I need to get it out on track where it belongs as it really is a bit stupid for the road. Its only running low boost at the moment as it needs a few finishing touches to the intercooling and then a final high boost mapping.

Cheers for the drive of the 911 too. Thats in a different league to the 996TT's ive driven before and given me the buzz for one again!!!!!

How much does a sequential box cost roughly? Id love one in one of future cars

Lee - What exactly is done to your 911? I read it had the performance pack or something, how much more power does it have/how quick is it?

Love 911s too

Yep. Stu, I think it needs a visit to you really to finish the mapping off 100%.

Also need someone to help me sort out the fancy stuff the T6 can do like launch control etc as I think it would benefit from it. Can you do all that too?

Never EVER been out in a Caterham type thing, really really wanna know what big power in one of them is like.

Been in god knows how many big power cars, but summat like that must be a whole new thing.

Big reason id like to know is ive never had any interest in them type of things at all, but reckon id change my mind if i went in one!
