And anyway, who really cares what happens once you are much over 100mph on the road anyhow?

We've got a pulsar and I had a stage 3 saff 2wd.
On the road, side by side, rolling from 40-50 mph up to 120 mph, there was nothing in it.
The cossie would pull after that, but only very slowly - people always exaggerate the last bit!
Pulsar is back on the road, so I will be out and about in it a bit this year....

A 400bhp pulsar doesnt seem likely to me to have beaten a 650bhp liner TBH
If the head gasket keeps doing its cause he hasnt fixed it properly in the first place, did he strip the block and get it skimmed flat?

The short gearing of Pulsars limits there speed to around 145Mph but they do get there pretty quickly - a mate owned a 280Bhp one and nothing could really touch it up to 100Mph

And anyway he would still get beaten by a standard sunny with the boost turned up in a sprint to 60 though, MarkTurbo's car proves that, but obviously your brother can drive better than the ones he has met so far.

It did a 12.5 in damp conditions at Brunter and 12.6 in the pouring rain on a slipping clutch at Elvington.
What's wrong with thinking a pulsar will beat a cossie.
What's does that 500bhp Cossie do the 1/4 in as a proper 400bhp Pulsar should be able to do it in mid to high 11s.

I thought I'd heard Kev Sharpes was in the 600bhp region when he did his first 10s?

Saying Gti-R's run out of puff at 100 is bollocks, mine still pulls well right upto 150
Its pointless aguing about it here though, Cossie vs Gti-R day anyone

i've seen a couple of awesome pulsars, was well and truly whooped by a 380hp one....
They will hold their own against most cossies until we're talking big power, once we get past stage 3 cossies even powerful pulsars will find it hard to keep their (ugly) noses in front. Just don't have the punch a cossie does mid range or up top.
