Default Bugger!! thats fast

Just downloaded the data from my 200mph run. These times were achieved with a misfire every gear change & clearly shows what the lack of Nitrous does above 190mph.
100-160 = 8.09
100-170 = 11.98
100-180 = 14.34
100-190 = 17.55
100-200 = 25.19
With a known 0-100 of 7.15 this would mean a 0-180 of 21.48.
a Macca 1 is 23.0.

This is two up with a maniac senior citazen changing the cogs not the guru Mr Shead im chuffed. .
These times are fast for a 15 year old Taxi , fully trimmed . .
To the Knockers get to Brunters & beat them or keep quiet.

Sounds right if so a fast car low down.
Remember these times were set on the 201.8 day with 200+ gearing & Road Tyres @ 40psi. Will see what can be done with BFG Drag Radials & lower gearing if we get the chance.
The 100-180 time recently achieved is almost 2 secs quicker than on the day those old figure were achieved so lots to come yet. I only deal in facts so at the mo they are the cars standing start PB's. .

even worse when ya see him him waving his hand with his leather driving gloves and flat cap on his head then the next view is his tartan rug in the rear shelf

then the fooker parks in the disabled bay so is also the first one to the shops when you have to park on the 43rd floor

By the way have been competing in the car for over 3 years & its the first time the car did not perform a pity cos i wont be going back to Totb whatever pressure is applied.
On the road it would not have broken im sure & its a road car that i regularily comute to work in & that accleration is used a lot YEP!! Nitrous & all, the buzz is unreal. Why not arrange a ride at some time it may stop your sly knocking of my car. .

Did 3 runs on the day over 195mph didnt realise one of the other runs was quicker acclerating. So revised times below.

100-160=7.90
100-170=11.75
100-180= 14.10 - ( 0-180 about 21.25)
100-190=17.25)
only got to 199.6 on this run

Dont think Jealousy can be treated on the NH, you have to conquer it yourself matey. Dont need you or anyone else to like me chum its facts that you young Herberts cant stand, if it gets to you, just dont reply tis easy. Some like facts they are usually the ones with fast cars .

You keep on chattin about it Rod cos im interested

Lee recently did a properly timed 0 - 150 in 18 seconds which i thought was pretty good given his now trademark missed gearchanges So your 13.3 gives me a little perspective on how yours goes compared to his.

Like you say... the numbers are usefull to those who arent remotely jealous and are genuinely interested.

Neither am I knocking it or finding the 'facts' hard to handle, fair enough you did it, wicked acheivement as most people say, who said you didn't!?

I was pointing out that he was commenting on you not the car or the times! If you read it again, he does say your car is fast, fact!

I take it you dont know him?

Hes one of the nicest guys you can meet and hes genuine with it ...the fact the owns a 200mph+ car is a bonus to him, its not his life as thers more to that!!! He tells it how he sees it ...what do you see?

fair play I hope I can do shit like this when i'm 60, and not just poke small children with my walking stick and complain about the price of half a mild

wonder what the car would do with a propper drag racing set up , I know it kinda defeats the object of it being a road car but it would be very very interesting , and no one can say its not a sicko fast car still in full road trim

I'm really pleased you post your times as it's great to compare my own cars acceleration with yours even though mines slower! Gives me an idea of what can be achieved though!
