Had a race with a mate in his MK1 FRS tonight!
Setup at Graham Goode Racing making 297bhp... We did two runs, first was a rolling start in second gear, second was a standing start..... On both runs I was pulling away all the way to 130mph (When I let off)!!
It was not by much but there was a clear gap opening up each time!

Power to weight comparisons...

FRS 228bhp per tonne
RSCabby 231bhp per tonne

Although I am now running 4psi more boost than when I was on the rollers a few weeks ago so am making a little more, maybe 235-240bhp

A good result I thought!

The power to weight is really close. Well done mate. What gearboxes are you both running?

It is Geof and FYI the new FRS is 205bhp per tonne!
His is a standard FRS box and i'm still on my trusty XR3i box!!

Far less weight in the cabby obviously helped you out quite a bit in the lower gears but would've though FRS would've roped you in a bit towards the end. Nice take though!

good job karlos, and the xr3i box held together aswell- thats a result

i must say that is quick as ive had a mk1 frs with 290bhp and 314lbs and i was chasing evos and cossies in it at lakeside lol so your rs must be a proper hoot to drive fair play karlos

where was the frs rolling roaded,my guess on a dastek roller.seems thats the preferred rollers for the frs guys.
ive got a graph for mine for my frs 310@fly on a dastek but no way i would say its 310,prob make nearer 250 on a dd roller

crazycage

isnt a normal rst about a tonne? And the cabby close to 200kg more ? I could be well wrong tho as i know very little bout them.

Cheers fella's!

Cabby is 995kg RST is 980 so not much in it! With the T3 and IC you may as well say my Cabby is about 1005kg.
