    Thanks for that Lee! I'm hoping it should be a bit faster after the engine rebuild!

    212 mph indicated on private runway not too far from Poole harbour.

    Ok it wasn't in the car but on a lightly fettled 'Busa - Felt as rock solid and safe at that speed as at 50 mph - but don't try waving at anyone at that speed

    My T5 is pretty fast and stable but I was to busy concentrating to look at the speedo. I'd like to do a flying mile day just to see.

    My 68 Camaro did 0-107.28 MPH in 6.922 seconds and the 1/4 in 10.594 seconds @ 133.21 MPH on it's last run against a quite nippy Audi rs something or other. The Audi ran a 13.126 seconds @ 116.00 MPH so it was no slouch.



    I don't know what it will do top end and the speedo only goes to 120MPH but it used to make the dotted lines join up

    The drag Supra and the rig (as she currently stands) are both out there (out there being Canada).

    The Supra is running a supercharged and turbo charged 9.4 litre Chevy V8 (we love those engines, swear by them for our drag cars) running just shy of 1500hp. Does the 1/4 mile in low to mid 10s at the moment, just can't get the traction down fully. When it can plant the power down without just spinning the wheels, should run mid 8s. Just the start that is killing us at the moment with that one.

    I'm gonna run the rig and hopefully get that running the 1/4 mile in 12 seconds, that's my aim.


    I like going very very fast if you hadn't guessed?

    147 in a stock 854 T5, 150 in a stock p1 v70 on the speedo with a 19T and remap I saw 160 mph before chickening out she was still pulling and showed 156 mph on GPS, I had 160 on the clock out of my P2 but never had gps to refer to.
    My Jag XJR would hit the supposed 155 limiter at 165 speedo, Ive had 155 out of the S4 and still had loads left to play with.
