Default Wow !! Datron figures arrived

If your not interested in performance Data you will not like this thread.

Received these today figures for Daddy Thrash run in the wet.
It shows the 0-150 time to show just how slowly Mark started in very wet conditions then at 150 he started the run & at 170 hit the gas still past 200mph in 2/3 of straight. Have given the GT35 spec figures as a comparison taken in perfect conditions & using Nitrous from 100mph on.

SPEED.........IN THE DRY......IN THE WET
.....................(GT 35 Spec) .......(GT 40 spec)
0-150------------13.30 -------------25.32
150-160-------- 1.70 -------------- 1.83
160-170-------- 3.80 --------------- 2.77
170-180-------- 2.40 --------------- 1.99
180-190-------- 3.79 --------------- 2.58
190-200-------- 6.71 --------------- 4.54

150-180--------- 7.90 --------------- 6.59
180-200------- 10.50 ---------------- 7.12
150-200------- 18.50 --------------- 13.47

170-180 1.99secs in the wet sounds a bit crazy .
Must admit i dont know what to do after these figures, ive geared for 216.4mph , hope its enough. Any 20" wheels out ther lads.

If you have forgotten how wet it was Click Me.

That's amasing

a) Just how much faster the bigger turbo has made the car
b) The fact the comparrison figures are made in the wet

Sort a run in the dry, please!

How many miles has the engine done now?

will post distances tonight but this is the black art of Topspeed records.
From memory 150-200 was achieved 380M shorter than in the dry giving vital seconds on the throttle. Also calculate 200-210 will take about 700M ( over 100m sec at that speed) so thats a big task. Need to be over 200 inside a mile my calcs suggest this is just possible.

if you swap the rear hubs over for granada ones you can get any size you want virtually off the shelf (assuming the cv splines are the same on the back end becausei know everything else fits, you running 2wd rear set up right?)

with 4 studs it's a bit of a mission to get rims that and for what you want
the only downside is the width of the 20's will be silly ridiculous

top figures though

I reckon it would be just as quick on ice, the difference is now in the amount of thrust generated by the turbo out of the exhaust

Good results rod, can't wait to see/hear what it's like in the dry

Christ on a bike

As said.......It would be interesting to see some dry fiqures for the GT40 spec Rodders...

150-200mph in the wet is rather brisk
