Yeah Smit does get some cool times at the Pod


My car has done a 13.2 at santa pod, not with me driving as I cant launch for shit

Dave's escort was in the 11s at santa pod last year.

I can name half a dozen cars on here that run sub 12 quarters with a cosworth badge on the rear!

Put any of those against a skyline with sub 500bhp and you'll see something new

His car is 4x4 and runs 12.6s with full trim on a stage 3 engine, about 110mph terminal.

My 4i is 2wd and the last time i went was doing 12.9s with 114mph terminals

ROFL


most cossies you see running 14 and 15 sec 1/4s...

badly setup worn out rear suspension....check
shitty tyres......check
probably putting out less power than they rolled out of the factory with...check
driven by an idiot that thinks if he,s smoking up the rears its mega power

Why do you keep going on and on and on and on and on and on about skylines ? who really cares . for a start skylines are a 2.5 not a 2.0

i think its more cossie owners dont need to prove things on the 1/4 miles, its like most of them cars go quickly in a straight line, but how do they handle in the corners? plus there small cars, hardly a challenge to make them quick!
with a cossie, u can put ya weeks shop in the boot, all ya mates, and still do some good times

I do not think you are much of a ford fan as you know fuck all about them and now slagging them off as you have just found out about santa pod and persuaded your mum to drive you.

From the way you are coming across I guess you were still in your dads balls when the cossie was new.

Don't forget its getting late and a school day tomorrow.

GTST's are rwd and use the RB25DET (2.5 single turbo) and are probably the most even comparison for a saff.

GTR's use the RB26DETT (2.6 twin turbo) and are 4wd.

Not that the above matters, the cossie v liner/M3/scooby/evo/everything argument is older than the bible. Cossies can be excellent cars, so can alot of others. Just because some cars were putting in slow times today doesnt mean all of them will be.

Pointless baiting thread IMHO
