Fastest cossie in scotland....

How does yours compare against the focus - techincally not a cossie but defo quicker than a t4 saff....

Daviet

dont think andys or charlies are built for top speed
and dont think they have been timed either so rather pointless post

Daviet

how does he compare against yours ??

Dingy

not really...

fastest cossie is a LARGE claim...

so point to point the focus is faster
0-60, 100, 150 the focus faster

Just fail's on top speed down to gearing ?

Was just interested how it was against the focus that was all.

Dingy

hammered me....

26psi t4 car LOL....

You mean you're stiring Dingy...

Stoo

It's the highest recorded top speed Cossie in Scotland. There are no doubt more powerfull cossies. Just his speed was recorded.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here. It's quite simple.

Steve, don't put yourself down mate, you're car fooking flies and you're not a bad driver either..

rapidcossie

power wise Im not 100% sure what andys and charlies cars run.

I know what andys old engine made and Im 5 bhp behind it ATW on the same rollers.

If andy or charlie fitted a longer box then no doubt they would be up there or infront of my speed.

Until then mine hold the highest timed top speed.

Stoo

Also, what Focus? Andys? Which is a track car? Euan's never had his car on the track and Andys isn't road legal.

Daviet

so hows it faster point to point? what happens if that point was 184mph ?
and anyway theres also the carwise sapph in scotland now so dunno if it still stands?

Dingy

Well, its clearly got some power....simpley wondering how much it would get wasted in a straight line by the focus thats all..

Just trying to compare things...

Dingy

point to point as in somert with corners....

or length of brunters LOL sure by the time the saff is moving the focus has 1/4 of a mile on him.....

I dunno

Asking for comparisons LOL

rapidcossie

cant compare the cars at all on track as Andys is on another level altogehter.

BUT in a stright line with traction not an issue you could fit the same gear boxes to both cars and make the focus 2wd and who knows what would happen, its kinda impossible to compare the to cars.

I think what needs clarifying here is Euans is the fastest TOP SPEED cossie...am i right??

Point to point he's not got a chance against the Focus..not many have..

rapidcossie

Sure Andy has bigger fish to fry anyway

Daviet

well its fooking obvous isnt it if its something with corners lol you seen how easy andy pulled away from you in the focus lol and you used to always harp on about how your car was built for track unlike rod...so id imagine it would be the same for euan lol
hope you dont think its a diss at your car as yours is my favourite mk2

Dingy

he pulled away from me like i was parked up ?

really ?

Not really in a straight line......corners and brakes yes, 500% difference LOL

Dingy

and comparing my car to a wrc spec car is even more redulculas than comparing it to a saff...

Not what i was on about, just the speed....


I know mine is over 500bhp per tonne at 26psi.....

Not sure the power of eaun's to be honest or the weight....

Be interested in how much the focus weigh's though

Daviet

you must have had a good few tonight lol
were did i say like you were parked up ?

Daviet

so why compare a sapph to a wrc spec car then
just as stupid then eh

rapidcossie

my car prob weighs a bit more than a standard saf due to the exhuast, wheels, brakes, two coolers etc.

My car is anywhere between 530-550 bhp fly realistically.

I know if i took it to another rolling road they will tell me its 600bhp fly.

Dingy

Sorry, thought ???? ment its a question not a quote....



and i was comparing scotland's fastest cossies not my shit box against a car LOL

Dingy

Sorry but surely a t4 can't make 600bhp.....

There is a big differance between quickest and fastest. Andys car would prob be the fastest cossie in scotland if it gets timed, think it would be Sharpy's old escort to beat. But as it stands Euans is the fastest timed top speed car so whats the problem with the statment.

rapidcossie

I dont think my car is anywhere near 600 bhp but I reckon my normalish T4 turbo could get close if we ran more boost.

Dingy

have the scot's not got it...

I have no ISSUES with the statement ffs...

I was asking for comparisons.....

Got sensible replies from the owner.....

Daviet

nothing could make your car look like its parked up mate its a fooking missile

He did say on another rolling road other than AVA m8.

Dingy

Thats a large claim mate

mine wouldn't make any more than 540 flat out.......

rapidcossie

I asked Alan(who knows a wee bit about turbos) if mine could see 600 bhp on my car and reckoned it might get up there somewhere.

Think alot of it has to do with the exhaust on my car and a few other mods that he has carried out to the turbo.

We are going to try old turbo on more boost when we get a chance now we have sorted airbox.

vroooom ptssssh

It's the fastest cossie in Scotland till someone else Proves otherwise...!

Thats not to say their isnt a faster one out their....they just havent proven it.

Dingy

awesome....

rapidcossie

I was basing it on dastek rollers(xtreme in whitburn) when they RR'd colins 3dr, judging by the power his made there compared to AVA.

Going by what he got I "should" get 590 fly on same rollers

Dingy

Thats very good....not sure anyone claimed otherwise LOL....

So with your exhaust,and inlet mods the power of your car at fly would be alot closer to what most people get on a bench dyno. Out of interest what has been the max seen on a dyno with a T4 ?

rapidcossie

i think some of the bits on my car address some of the probs that engines that have been dyno encounter when they are fitted to the car.

There are a few cars that make over 500-600 bhp on the dyno then are fitted into the car with exhaust systems that massive restrict the power, by how much? who knows?

intercoolers are another area where dyno' engines suffer, the ACTs cant be controlled in the car like they can on the dyno so again who knows how much powe the engine has as the ACTs increase.

Be it 500 or 600 bhp you should be chuffed to fook of an awesome motor euan .

Stu.H

You causing trouble again, Dingy?

Daviet

anyway as i said above since the carwise car is now in scotland is that the fastest sapph
