Thats very strange 210.2 is exactly what we pulled at Woodbridge at TV2005 now thats very strange dont you agree.
Would need a big increase in Power to get from 199.4 to 210.2 so over what distance was this done & how was it timed.
So we need to do 210.3 then lads at least it sets us a Target.

This is a congratulatory thread for an awesome achievement, if you want to be an argumentative tosser like normal then start a different thread rather than wreck this one, and choose someone else to argue with too cause im utterly bored of you TBH mate.

Rod Tarry hasnt ever done that off gas, and doesnt have 4wd transmission losses.

So although equally quick, its not really an equivalent car.

Thats not taking anything away from Rod though of course!


But Nitrous+2wd isnt a level playing field with no nitrous + 4wd

Steve,
Just goes to show you don't know EVERYTHING . There was a tuning company that took one of their cars to New Zealand and it did 190+ mph . I can't remember who it was, but the car was white . I also think it got totalled out there by the driver, but it was a good few years ago, so I my memory may be getting confused with another car .
