Thing is there needs to be some kind of rules and categories maybe, as stripping out, nitrous, race fuel, and non-roadlegal tyres all have a big effect, and certain ones dont want to be done by certain people for whatever reason.
I mean for example Martins car is MAINLY a track car, and striaght line performance spec and track performance spec are totaly the opposite, the specs infact work agaisnt each other.
If theres no rules then it mainly comes down to whos got the most cash to blow, and who cares the least how useable n fun their car is.
Itd be intersting to know what its cost to get to each cars current top spec too, i can think of more than one instance (non-cosworth) where a car with 15k spent achives what someone else who spent over 100k couldnt get close to.

Its like with the rst records. Great....sunnys fez goes fast, but i have more respect for the likes of christian who has retained the original type engine and gone a little slower...imo that is the true record.

201.8 aint as fast as 194.7 cos Martin did it.
.At least if Martin beats my record with Nitrous it wont count, then again perhaps the Rules would change again

You bunch of ladies
I bet you lot would argue which fooking bog roll is the best if you were in a room together for long enough! And why double velvet is against the rules

No rod it aint just cos martins done it.
this is totally OTT but to get over my point.....strap a jet engine to the back and do 300 mph if SPEED is all your after....but if the proper cossie record in what you want then imo it can only be a YB running on petrol.

two different things so you cant compare. just do a run without NOS rod and see what it gets. same could be said for martin but installing NOS isnt exactly as easy as just not pressing a button!

martin if you want to be the fastest why not do a run using gas if your confident you can beat madrods record. I say this because it is obviouse you want to be the fastest (as everyone does) but the fact of the mater is that most the general public and ford fans will now see rods car as the fastest cossie

martin do you think 200+ at brunters is achievable without the use of gas. Also do you think that the limits of a yb have been reached in respect to power output and that to achieve faster times other methods should be looked at such as weight reduction etc

martin-reyland, i must say i think the ford tunning world would bow down to you if you managed to beat the 201.8 at brunters without the use of gas. Personally i wish you the best of luck cause i think it would be such an achievment. Ps not taking anything away from rod as i think cracking the 200 mark has done ford justice in the world now dominated with skylines and minly jap stuff taking the spotlight

just finding my feet
ok why noit use normal unleaded, 15ins wheels, standard turbo
sory guys but rods holds the record, it is the fastest, just like yours is the fastest with no no BUT race fuel
who is the fastest with out now and normal pump fuel !!!!, thats a everyday car imo
that to me is the record holder
or just rip the block out and fit a skyline engine and then to the record again
sorry guys but this is a totally pointless bitch about things
may car is powerfull enough that boost hose's explode, thats a proper car imo
a good rule would be a car that dont use anymore than a litre of out every 2 thousend miles , thats what the cossie problem is
