PassionFord Post Whore!!
It does make you wonder what is next though 
A couple of years ago that didn't seem possible and I remember thinking 0-100 in under 7 seconds was god damn amazing 
That car is an amazing feat in engineering

Simon said he would do 0-100mph with a 4 at the front.... I didn't think he would but he is clearly going to do it easily as soon as he gets a proper launch and the clutch bites!!!

Awesome times. I wonder what the fuck that feels like??!!
As for other fast street cars, I think this is about the top of the tree......

surely if martin can make the most of swapping from 2wd to 4wd he can be on for some awesome times
The thing i like about the Norris evo is its a very allround fast car track, 1/4, top speed etc

an absolute amazing feat of engineering.seen at totb in action,mind blowing.looks so cool and different,goes so weeland sounds the tits.
simon like martin has an amazing machine well worthy of the respect it gets and the time and effort put in.
top job.

I know the engineering of a Veyron is from a different planet, but I still suspect the clutch wouldn't cope with too many more.
As a side note, I was talking to Simon about the clutch yesterday and he said they usually last a full season... When he was putting his engine in on Friday he went to fit a new clutch and realised he didn't have one... so the used one went in. I expect the new one will be delivered and fitted by the end of the week.

I dont know so i cant comment it would be good if he was but that evo is damm quick

Fuck me, its almost perfectly linear acceleration all the way to 120mph at the rate of .5 seconds per 10mph, thats just insane!

I can see Martins car getting close to those figs once he develops it....
BUT Simons is going ALOT FASTER STILL!!!!
Its an 8 second car no doubt in my mind!

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Out of this world.
I hope Martin has something up his sleave as it seems he is in a dissadvantage with weight and power, would be amazing to see a font line up of Evo, Skyline, Cossie battling at TOTB.

Must be awesome to drive ..
Rocket ronnie might need to go on a weight saving mission
But keith cowie what about him he is meant to be near the 8s is that right
i was talking to him last year at totb & he was gutted he had water pump failure i think

The moral victory goes to the ford then
(although probably be the only one that does against the jap lads, martins car is aweomse im sure but i doubt it can beat that thing in any meaningful metric)

120mph = 120 * 1609 = 193080 meters per hour
/3600 = 53.6 M/S
It reaches that in 6.3 seconds
So acceleration rate average is 8.5 metres per second per second.
Gravity is 9.8 metres per second per second nominally
So its pulling .867 G
Which by the time you take off wind resistance of a car, means that its probably FASTER in a straight line that it would be off a cliff
/3600 = 53.6 M/S
It reaches that in 6.3 seconds

I think renton should use that in the write up
Can you imagine how boring redline would be if i wrote for it?
