I was 2mph faster than even Phil Morrison in that car that day, and im sure with some late breaking (or moving the barriers at the end and driving thru the carpark ) I could push 127
Best one was in the Hyundai Getz we had down there once, 100mph on the Datron took about 10 runs

The only Porsche to do 200 (202mph) at Brunters is owned by a bloke called Guy Ratcliffe (think thats his name) Its a Silver 911 of some type & he took the rear wing off to be able to reach 200. He won TV2004 & several V-max events before Myself & Joel turned up at TV2005 & set new standards. We have run 210.2 at Woodbridge, but never had a dry at Brunters in our latest Spec. The Brunters record is 211 by a Long Tailed Macca 1. Joels 215.7 is the fastest ive heard of & that is a tough Target to beat. Tests suggest we will max out at 213/214. We have booked the date & now only have to GO DO IT.

Some of the funniest stories ive EVER heard involved him (Non car related tho Take my wife, no, please )
Used to say about the most humanly possible from a Cossie engine was something or other, and he had one with EVERYTHING ever in the world done to it, and it was a "grenade engine" as he called it.
Basically he seemed to not understand the concept that there clearly are better and more capable tuners than the ones he used
Pretty sure he said the most humanly possible with a Supra engine was 600odd too

aye thats the dude His porsche with the race engine had a timer to rebuild in it - 100hours or something - was a moby dick engine or something - god i am racking my brains now lol! Should have been fast though....
I think i beat his grenade engine clain on a welded 2wd block built out of odds and sods lying around.... funny that one never lasted V long

Hehe - I knew you'd all remember him in the end
I still think the porsche did have a real moby dick spec engine which should in turn have made it hell of a quick, but there was also some v funny chat like above
And Rod - Imagine baiting someone with insider knowledge....

It took 700bhp to get a Porsche up to 202mph in 1.5miles to get to 243mph would require 1317bhp according to my Data. Would require more than that because it would need longer to Stop & require a lot longer gearing to get there. I guess 1600bhp should do it. So it is possible to do it because he was claiming that type of Power, if he did all credit cos thats incredible, but ive never seen it proved.
