Drivers Run/F-Chat Top Speed Challenge Sat 30th July 05

Davy

Just send it to : Mr Joe.....LOL!!!!!

 

Sounds top. will deffo try and make this.

 

We had a top speed of 196mph recorded there yesterday by, I think, a Porsche GT2 RUF.

All depends where they put the timing beam... and make sure they clear the cars from the end so you have an easy run off option without trashing your brakes every lap!

 

okey count me in just to stop joe winning

 

Put me down as interested. I won't be winning any prizes though

 

Is it the same price for 12 cylinder cars as the 8 cylinders if so thats good value

 

And if you bolt 2 turbos on a V8 does that cost anymore?

I like your style Steve

 

Me too, same as Gray

 

Do you think it could be hot and sunny at the end of July?

(I am bored of wearing jumpers and jeans)

How many people will complain on the day of the heat causing slower times and that their engines need to be in cooler air?

 

Nicola,
if you don't wear a jumper and jeans, the chances are the airs going to be a lot hotter with all these Fchat perverts about
ps that obviously doesn't include me in that statement

 

Same as graham and simon,I'll come but not staking a claim for the top speed prize.
Laughed my head off all day yesterday at the pistonheads event,more of the same please.

 

davey i will put the word out mate, may well come down with warren, and I hope he brings the enzo eater, there may be a few skyline drivers interested

 

Good to see you again at V.Max, and thanks for taking my mate out for a run!

Count me in. I've got no competition that weekend.

 

It is in Italy as we speak, Yes it will be ready.

 

No probs,Stu was a cool guy,with the dreadlocks.I thought he was with the film crew!

 

I'm DEFINATELY up for this....

My main aim will be to beat GrahamS .... 355 Capristo v Tubi ... the final showdown !!!


Judging by posters, great kit coming so far, all we need now is someone to come with their Murcielago..... Simon?

 

A reliable minimum of 540BHP at 7200rpm

Some weight has been removed from the car too.

Its an early F40 with slightly taller gearing.

I have full LM brake ducting and I'm just waiting for a new dual master cylinder.

At 7250 RPM it should be doing 200mph, thats what I'll aim for. She should theoretically hit 215mph at 7800rpm.

BUT, it will hit a brick wall at 203 mph - even more power needed.

So 200mph would be an amazing achievement.

 

With your new fangled compression ratios you may well be in with a chance. All that extra Spider weight may go against you though....

Looking forward to seeing the F40 being driven how Uncle Enzo intended
