Default New fastest FWD vauxhall road legal time: 11.3 seconds
No nitrous
Pump fuel
888 toyos not even road legal drag tyres

11.32 @ 136mph




Specky with his blue tigra.


The vauxhall lads are going to be threatening to do 10s road legal soon I reckon as there is still a lot specky could do to get his car off the line even faster IMHO

That's awesome and hell of a terminal!! He'll see good increases in the terminal if he got his 60ft down (I'm assuming there's a bit of work to do on the 60ft)

Nice work, has there been some major development to this car? It was doing slower terminals and times at TOTB with nitrous on?

PMSL at some comments.. this is a proper achievement and no mistake,
takes quite some doing to get it right..


also, the golf that runs 10s... I thought he changed to drag tyres to do it????
UNSURE on that point though.. either way, both cars are very quick!

it is a proper quick time no mistaking, have replied on other thread tho as andy nicholls rover 200 has run 10s on a few occasions on road legal tyres in a road legal state car at pod, with high 140+ terminals, also 10.4s on slicks at pod. both times with laughing gas on though but road cars can/do use it quite legitimately

ah mixed thread input but the argument is not that nos does/doesn't say its road legal but the other thread just states that vx has the fastest fwd legal tyres/tax/mot no nos

He has only just got the nitrous working on it although I don't think he was using it at the pod, he most certainly wasn't at totb.

Its now doing the times near to what I would expect a 500hp fwd car to do, clearly getting the hang off getting it off the line now

Agreed, the Golf and Rover both use nitrous to match those times iirc
