I took her out for a ride & could only reach 192 on the ring road back straight, her comment I thought this was a 200mph car so she agreed I need more Power.

good luck in going for more

Good luck Rod would be great for all ford owners if you could beat rocket ronnies top speed
Really hope you can do it
ADE(185.5mph) is not stoping as well he got more plans to go faster

Your safe mate as you know, cant see a Cossie beating the Rockets 205.8 but will give it a go
u said b4 your inspeed 60-whatever times are quicker than ronnies so only really the 0-60 bit u losing to him on, and how much track does that use
Maybe a better mod rather than spending thousands on engines would just be to fit a parachute to leaving breaking even latter
Good luck tho whatever u do
Hopefully be reading about a new record soon

May be just better to build another bit of runway on for this test lol. 205mph is going to be hard to beat at brunters, ronnies car has the advantage of the 4wd for the launch then switches to 2wd. Best of luck to ya

I dont think Ronnies 4wd is much of an advantage TBH, it dont get him up to speed hugely faster, its at higher speeds where the acceleration is most effective, so more power and better aerodynamics will be the main factor if you cant brake later.
Rear diffuser etc to stop air being trapped behind the back bumper is an obvious one if its not already been done by Rod...

Unless you are mega fast on the bend it makes no difference certainly its within 1 mph. With a semi -track car like Martins he may make it tell.

If one car is already at speed coming out the bend compared to a bloke sitting on the straight from 0mph how can it be within 1mph? Oh shit i assumed all recorded Brunters top speeds were from a standing start

To quote
" To test what this monster of a car was capable of, it was taken to Bruntingthorpe proving ground, two sets of timing equipment were set up near the end of a two mile straight. On each run the speed was increased and the car was checked, finally we reached a speed that was safe for the limited two miles we had, checked the times against each other and took the lower of the two. This was 211 mph, not bad for a car that you can use every day. "
That is taken from www.gtart.co.uk under projects
So take
and shove it up your ass and NEVER question me again I only post facts I can back up , have you got that ?

Gary's car or Andy's cars would both be capable of speeds well exceeding 200mph, like many others, but have not yet had the chance to prove it properly.
Hopefully at some point there will be an event to prove the higher speeds, over a longer distance than the 1.25 miles used for TOTB. This really requires 1.6-1.8miles at either Elvington or Bruntingthorpe. However many cars will still not reach their max speed there, as true max speeds often takes several miles to reach.
