Just stumbled across this whilst browsing.

Surely the 0-60 time from a stage 3 sapph 4x4 on standard turbo cant be this fast ??

2.99 secs

was gona say sounds like the rapid 1 he a user on here

then clicked second link and saw his car

 

i think by rapid 1 's own admission it was a little optomistic

 

Tyres
Reaction 1.027
1/8 ET 7.731
1/8 MPH 91.89
1/4 ET 12.117
1/4 MPH 112.48

thats the times i think

 

If it was Rapid 1's then the time may be a little optamistic as it was recorded at Ford Fair. The car was fooking quick though

 

So ur saying the timing gear wasnt accurate ?

 

was doin 3.2s most runs at donny south last year and he won quickest on the day.

 

wasnt a stage 3 on standard turbo though and he was running a large shot of nos.

 

Ah nos thrown in that explains it !

 

evening all

The figures u read were well out on the UK Street Racers sight

Cat is closest for the 2.99

Car was running 400 bhp on engine and 100 bhp gas

And all I'll say is it WAS timed on Silverstones/ Ford Fair timing gear, BUT as cat says when the car went to 450 bhp on engine and 150 bhp gas was running 3.2 all day on Nitrox timming gear which in the year I run the 2.99 the best I could get on that gear was 3.5.

The only other thing i would add is I wouldve raced any other car (street legal) 0-60 on any given day at any given time with equal conditions and track etc

Those that have seen the car launch 0-60 will know I wouldnt have made myself look silly
