Isnt the TOTB all about top speed? for that you need alot of bhp. Over 300bhp through the front wheels is pretty insane and makes the car useless for anything other than top speed runs - who has the cash or lack of sense (besides that sunny dude) to build such a car?

its all well and good having these high powered RST, but they are hardly EVER on the road..

I had a nice drive in this morning

I appreciate having 300bhp ect and is alot of maintanence/money, so fair play

A day off work and then having to drive to an event to rag thier car, for most people is a little too much dude.

I have asked, but most peeps are more worried about earning money to live and pay rents etc.. than running thier ŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁ worth of car down a strip for no reason other than trying to prove sumin they dont need to

Sorry lewis,
My own car/s are ready and could go, but i see no point if i will not be ere for the final.

Regards

if they r quick enough then they will b in the final! htats the whole point in qualfying!

I just dont see the point in buildin a car to make all this power & then turnin down a chance to prove the car in a safe enviroment!

But each to their own!

As per pm Lewis I would come but am finishing a 2 year posting in Northern Ireland next Friday so no chance of me getting out of here before that otherwise I would have loved to have a crack at some more times.

Thanks for the invite though

I can see why people want to build quick RST's etc.. maybe for the pod or for fun.. but if it was me personally, it would be to compete.. This is a perfect example to prove what your car is capable of IMO.. id be there for sure, if i had some decent power

like lewis says, each to there own and all that..
