They are poor times IMO, and that's what you get on a BB - OPINION. The reason I think they're poor is that there are much faster times by other RWD cossies, simple.
Karl has his reasons for the times and he even seems satisfied by them? His opinion!
Anyway, Porkie/Brom/Scotty/Rainbum - forget cars, my cock is soooo much bigger than yours (and that's what its all about, eh
)
and its ginger!!!

Think about it....
My car did a proven 191.6mph @ 7550 rpm - redline at 7800 - Doh
So Karl should easily do 200+ reving to 9000rpm

I think he will do it piss easy as well I personally dont think it will be easy & my goals are more moderate.
!/ 191.7 to set a new RWD record
2/ 194.8 to set a new overall record
If 200 can/is broken it will be a big big bonus, yes ive spent the money & meticiously prepared the car, but i think the 200 barrier presents a big challenge in the confines of Bruntingthorpe.
Can Run higher boost than on the Dyno & a 900psi bottle pressure we will have well over 750brake if required & i suppose we could take some race fuel to get even more Power
. BET IT AINT EASY THOUGH.Rod

Ranj at our brunters thrash what did you back up with the cossie managed 250hp RST you had vs RWs 180 hp monster?..... Nothing as it is pretty meaningless, big numbers are fun, records are fun but dont get too worked up LOL
So why do you have to prove it?

if hes already said he couldnt give a shit i doubt hes interested what you think
for something that i KNOW has already hit a rev limiter at a calculated 200+ i know "sum people" aint going to look silly at all
would you like to now dispute the laws of mathematics too because i aint a mathematician
i refuse to get drawn into this repetative shit again so thats goodnight from me (and piss off from him )

mmmmm if i'm correct. Lee cattermole was doing 3.7sec to 60 with rwd saph and he has a lot bhp also. and what about steve from A1 with his focus...also under the 4 sec to 60.
or is it that Karl's gt40 turbo has to much lag and comes with a big bang and keeps the wheels spinning.
cheers

I hate to say this, but I can see where Ranj is coming from (but he's still a cock ) .
I'm also of the Rod vein - put up or shut up.
It's all very well making claims about hitting the limiter (which is "allegedly" set at 9k) in a car (with no accurate rev counter) allegedly running a L6 ECU (which can only track accurately to 4000rpm and by 6000rpm is running a few revolutions behind - so fuck knows what it's doing by 9k+ ) on a single coil system that is basically crap above 7k .
However, until a car is proven in the same way as everyone else who has done so publically, then I cannot give what is said any credibility what-so-ever. Who knows, the alleged 9k rev limit "hitting" could have been a high rpm misfire at 8k due to the antiquated nature of the ECU / ignition system etc .
I believe my Escort is capable of mid to low 3s 0-60 and high 11s quarters and approx 170 - 175mph, so it MUST be true.

To be honest im sure Karl dont care if you believe he has done 200
The fun for me is BEING able to build my own car and enjoy it
Im sure if you went to an F1 team and said make this do 200 mph and here is a blank check it will happen where is the skill in that
At least Karl ,Me , Tim ,Dingy ,Olli,Brom Martin etc etc Have the ability to build our own cars which i find gives you SO SO SO much more satisfaction than just handing a check over
If Rods car does do an official 200 mph first big deal,
When Karl does time his car and it does 200 mph im sure he will have a greater satisfaction of the fact than some people
Just makes me MAD

Mike why do you come on to this Topic with facts its not what the dream merchants want to hear.
I can beat Mike Tyson in a fight & i know Ranj. Yum & Sunny will back me up , Karl relies on the same back-up from his cronies. Claims without facts i believe thats called Bullshit.
I spent the first 5 years of my Cossie ownership doing a Karl, i was forced to run my car before i started 'clucking' .
Karl lets hear no more of this 220 mph (9K) claims untill your car is complete & ready to rumble ,so call off your Norrisettes & come back to reality. 220 will require over 950 bhp in a Cossie so perhaps your Power claims are too low , so from now on lads, Karls car has over 1000bhp.

pokie m8 when we saw your car it was goin like f*ck m8 and could have had scotty no probs n if theres more to come then it will be awesome. Would luv to see carl do 200 mph but thats his call, and rod good luck in your attempt m8, because i no my car will never see this sort of speed unless i hitch it on the tow bar of concord
