takes a lot more for it to feel fast on track..

Yes it does.....straight line, santa pod, brunters, road....all very well but when you have long sweeping corners and tight bends it really does slow you down...

Think he might start doing some more track days as its so much more fun than straight line nonsense

Totally agree with Phil, Brunters size makes anything sub 140mph feel very slow BUT 180mph+ feels mentally fast where-ever you do it if you ask me as well!

However I do think track is more fun and rewarding so look forward to seeing him on more trackday . Is he on at ND?

Take some silencers out then Porkie!

100% unsilenced would mean some awesome flame spitting fun

I can imagine!

Get tubetorque to make you a 4" side exit straight through system with zero silencers and another one for the screamer pipe and just swap them over

Would be crazy loud

Maybe a little expensive for the one unrestricted day a year though

takes a lot more for it to feel fast on track..
Feels strange tho', the smaller low powered cars just carry so much speed through the corners. I suppose on track everyone is going the same way and as fast as they can, where as on the road i have so much more acceleration it much faster than most cars.

I really need the coilovers decent brakes, and some slicks now to get the full benefit of the performance more money

I've always found power doesn't make a huge difference on track, especially to the fun you get from the track day! Hence i've left my 205 engine alone in the track car
