Shame its N/A

 

That looks the tits!

Love the rear wheels too

 

Very nice, wouldnt like it to touch the road never mind the track

 

whats n/a mean?

 

Naturally Aspirated

ie, non turbo

 

Love that car SO much, other than the mega laggy engine.

 

What do you mean Chip?
Or are you being sarcastic?

 

I mean its laggy.

Put your foot down at 2000rpm, lag
3000rpm, lag
4000rpm, lag
and so on and so on, until you hit the limiter, and the boost STILL hasnt arrived.


A 3 door needs 300lbft to be interesting IMHO, and on that car you are waiting forever and it never arrives.

Love everything else about it though!

 

See what you mean Chipper

 

y do u think he hasnt used a turbo?

 

i like a lot

 

I think he said:

 

love it but to good a condition to track race would be a shame

 

Do you not like naturally aspirated full stop, or just cars that should be have a turbo. In other words, is an M5 laggy to you?

Benni.

 

Depends on the application, 2 litres in a big heavy car like a sierra though, N/A just isnt up to the job of making it a reasonably quick car.

Decent 2 litre vauxhall lump in a westfield though with 250bhp and 600kg, is perfectly acceptable, as is 150bhp on a motorbike.

M5 are ok, as they have 5 litres in the first place.

 

Cool. Fair point well made and I will now agree, lol.

Benni.

 

i'd wager it goes round the average circuit quicker with the n/a than it would a 300bhp turbo YB... Broadmoor's mates with their lovely n/a 3-doors don't seem to be at a disadvantage...

edited to say, ps, and it's a f*cking cool car : )

 

Depends on the power, if its only 200bhp, like most "basic" N/A YB's tend to be, I reckon it would be much quicker turbo'd

 

That is very different, yet very cool.

Do you have any more information on these? Sounds interesting.

 

very very cool car.and looking at the build quality of the car cant really see it being a 200bhp lump.
not that heavy a car when all stripped like thatcar is aswell.
also if the gearing is matched to the engine im sure it makes a mega fast track car.just like hondas can with very little torque.
ive seen a mk1 escort with a 250bhp n/a engine and the thing was very very quick round kaimes circuit.seemed to be perfect on a tight twisty track.

 

if you search for broadmoors posts hes put up a few pics of the cars at different track days
they own some stunning cars

 

Lovely car, was going into my favourite 3 Doors list until I saw the manifolds missing a few vital things.

I like the cut out doors.
