Steve,
I'm pretty sure Ronnie did his 207mph at Elvingdon. It was a midnight purple one that I am thinking of that did a quoted 211mph...

And they are the fastest of the fast!! I bet not many standard 'supercars' could get anywhere close to 200 at Brunters!

Ronnie did over 200mph for a FastCar feature a while back with Glen when he had his R34GTR, im sure that was Brunters. Il have to dig out the mag.

What does everyone think about stability at high speed? In the 3door at 7k or so in top on the M-way the car felt perfectly stable to me, dunno about other cars

well done for being the ONLY cossie to crack 200
Not true actually. If you said "The first road legal Cossie to crack 200mph" then you would be correct. as far as I'm aware.

Anyway, well done Rod and Mark.

Exactly... I totally agree! There is sooo much rumour about the Touring cars power outputs and how fast they were!

Lets not forget that its taken Rod and Mark to build a GENUINE 600bhp+ engine with a Proper Turbo and then stick a load of NOS up its ass to get to 201mph on a 1.7mile straight...

I just don't believe an RS500 touring car with all the spoilers on did 200mph on a T4 without Gas.

I think Andy Rouse had 200 out of his race one didn't he? - but I think it was only indicated on the speedo and not properly timed.

I remember hearing about it on the radio ages ago - could all just be poppycock as my memory isn't that great!
