If you PM me your address I will sort you out some entry forms.....I assume you own some form of competition licence...or can get one before then?
By the way.....overtaking Ferraris is not very impressive....when I see them at events they tend to be pottering along because they have careful middle aged owners who dont want to thrash or damage them!!

ooooooh really . Well you was the first too slagg off my cars handling so i just returned the compliment about yours .I still don't reckon that a GTA will be faster than a 200+ bhp 700 kilo 5 dini at anything except 1st gear traction . They may feel fast but they aren't all that really . Renault 21 turbos go and handle better and only cost £500peterg wrote:Until you go understeering wildly into the first decent corner!!!!

They handle great Mick , mine snapped the engine mounts off with the power twisting them , it still handled though with nothing holding in the engine except the front gearbox mount !!!!! It would lift off oversteer into the corners but this was exaggerated by the lack of engine mounts somewhat They'll make 250+ bhp with a modern gt28 blower , forged pistons and steel liners and a gt turbo carb fitted with an intercooler . My old engine was knackered and still really flew on only 15 psi of boost , it hit a 100 mph in a quarter of a mile from standstill without traction , i only pulled away with low rpm and still hit this speed . I' d like to see a GTA do that without a huge budget !!!!!!MicKPM wrote:If mine handles the way you're saying it should then I'm really looking forwards to it. Might have to see how it compares to our mildly modified 19 16v as well although I'm not planning on making the Dini run +200bhp
