Brett the lunatic with the porsche 928 is claiming to have done 208mph

So it sounds like he finally hit his 200mph target.

Apparently he did it out on the road though not at brunters or similar and no independant witnesses or anything, so obviously not "official"


http://forum.nitrous-advice.org/view...p=70014#p70014


Interesting though as I believe its still a standard engine (other than the 700bhp nitrous kit!)

Agreed, its not just irresponsible, its also pointless as the speed acheived has as much to do with how stupid you are at keeping your foot in than how powerful your car is, so its not really a direct comparison.

But all that said and done, over 200 is still a pretty exclusive club to be in!

As far as im aware he has done nothing to get it off the line quicker, last I saw it seemed to be on standard old suspension and cheap tyres.
But I guess if he was just playing with terminals that wouldnt matter too much

This is really old news should see what happened on Pistonheads .

Only Brett timed it. heres his reply when asked why he didnt get it properly timed, on the Wizard of Nos site.

Lol, I don`t need an "Independent Body" to confirm anything, I did this for ME, although I actually do have proof that a couple of the local Porsche guys have seen...

But the point for me was to do it with a totally standard 928 (not a stripped down racer) and to achieve my aim of going faster than any road going production Porsche including the V10 Porsche CGT which has a top speed of 205/206 mph.

This was never about "records" for official books, it was about my utter faith in WON and the new REVO system.

I talked to Ant at WON about this & they confirmed its totally in his head. The car has a 1000bhp Nitrous capability but its limited to a 200 shot.
Its done a 13.8 quarter also a claimed record hardly 200mph pace .

Rod, you havent spoken to Ant recently enough I suspect mate, when was that?

And like I have already said, its shit on the quarter, nothing has been done to it to help it on the quarter.

He's got GPS datalogs to prove the speed apparently.

Last time I heard anything about that car it had SO much power it was lighting the tyres up on the whole 1/4 mile @ santa pod, shame the 15 second pass at under 100mph didn't really convince me it was as fast as he thought.

What is the best 1/4 mile its done now Chip ?

Trev's a clever enough guy that your car hasnt been able to get to 200mph without his help yet


I've got a lot of time for Ant, he has a lot of knowledge without being quite so promotional, but ultimately TBH I really do think Trev actually does know more about nitrous than anyone else, so you cant really hate him too much for claiming it, its a bit like when people hate you for sayin you have the fastest cossie, you do have so why shouldnt you say it?
