what would 1 do flat out in 6th on 195 45 tyres? say @ 7k

 

oh yeah in a corsa turbo?

 

does it need better brakes to stop from the said speed? if so you know the man!

 

i wouldnt mind knowing the said speed the clown says he wasts zx-750's on the motorway ffs he dont need better brakes martin he needs a better car

 

Standard wheels on Cav turbo would in theory if it could do it be about 170+mph

 

I used to have a 280hp Calibra some years back and that would pull an indicated 150 @ around that rpm! Probably really only about 140 though!!

 

Ive got a book somewhere that has the standard calibra turbo listed @150mph, it also has the RS500 @157mph which is about right. HTH

 

Did it not have 6 gears? My Cav turbo was hitting a "speedo" 150mph at about 5.5k in 6th

 

Maybe that was in 5th fook knows it was many cossies ago!
I know it used to max out at around the 150 mark though

 

Brakes on way are 296mm 4 pots. What price can you do Martin? If you can beat deal I've been offered I'll take them from you.

It pulled easy to 6500 revs in 6th, which I make 161mph on this:

Hitting the limiter in 6th (7500) would give me a theoretical 186mph. Will at Cossvaux (built car for himself before selling) too it to over 7k in 6th which is at least 173mph.

Give it a long enough road and I think it would pull to limiter.... but I'm not gonna try!

 

its not got enough power timmy youll be beating martoooon next with a caravan 2 wake up

 

Hahaha I wish Gus!

 

I remember the adverts which declared it " the most aerodynamic production saloon car in the world" funny cause i always thought it was a coupe?

 

Well mines a Corsa, so its quite un aerodynamic LOL

 

corsa turbos arn't that quick they suffer from massive traction issues, the non turbo 2.0ltrs (xe) are nearly as quick as they have more chance of actually having some traction , they could be fun but as most just drop them and and do nothing serious to the handling, "a set of high poundage spribgs and it'll be right"

 

Thats why were talking about motorway speeds as I know I can't do much in 1st 2nd and 3rd. Though if you have a brain you can adapt your driving style (shock horror), and feed the power instead of planting your foot like a brainless moron.

A 2.0xe being nearly as fast is one of the funniest things I've heard, my mate had an xe on carbs, was quick but a miles away from mine, even round town.

 

I shouldnt imagine youll have many traction issues from around 70mph!

 

Tim,
You've been hanging round your Scooby owning mate too long . I would be VERY surprised if it exceeded 160mph .

 

Mike, less of the insults!

A passenger ride awaits you to disprove your non belief!

If somebody had told me before I experienced the car, I'd of laughed at the thought of it too..... but it just pulls and pulls!

Kev I do have traction issues from 70mph onwards.... in the wet Spinning in 5th last night

 

Nobodys mentioned it, but the car is a long long way from standard in terms of power

 

Tim,
Can't wait .

You have to remember, I've seen so many claims of "she pulls off the clock on the motorway", yet when timed with proper gear, fall woefally short !

 

I've not got a speedo, so I'm working things out off the revs. So it pulls straight off the clock as soon as I leave my drive

I'd love to get it on proper timing gear!

 

COSSVAUX
nuff said

 

Well they have built one hell of a car so NUFF SAID really. Also that cossie of his thats no slouch.

Still think you should have bought a real car tim a cossie

Never mind me and gus will come looking for you soon

 

I'm still gonna get a Cossie, but for the grin factor I'm quite happy at the moment

When I fancy becoming a bit more of a bufty I'll get an EsCos

John now you have told me your getting a smaller turbo I might not even waste my petrol

 

Only for a month timmy

Just wont play on the motorway im sure if marcus's scooby can keep up just sure i'll get by you

 

Thats got ridiculous gear ratio's, and he was on his own, I was 4 up! Admitted himself if I'd got into 5th and 6th gear I'd of mullered him. Normal scoobys are no contest for me! Easy!

 

Put your excuses back in your hat boy.

Next youll be saying you can beat the bondbug

 

a man that goes and buys a corsa over a cossie must have been on something i've heard this corsa beet the nasa space shuttle to mars and back thats how rapid it is is it a bird ,is it a plane no its TIMMYS 200mph corsa...

 

ROFLMFAO

Bring it on timmy fastest boy in rotherham

 

mr rainbird watch out the vauxhall boy is coming past

 

For my next trick I'm gonna walk on water ROFL

I'm not going to say I'm going to beat anybodys car, as thats not my game, but I WILL stick my neck on the line and say it WILL do 160mph.

 

u coming up timmy???????????

 

Shut up tim be lucky to see 100

 

Me old Cav did more than that Young Tim! lol

This'll end up like Andy's fookin Nova,blown up and in bits!
