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.

I agree a GTA would be quicker than a dini around a circuit with the same power to weight ratios but the driver is much more a consideration here. Its also a bit unfair to suggest someone gets a competition license and travels 200 miles to a circuit they have never seen before in a car that may not pass scrutineering. I've witnessed the car make 100 mph on the quarter, I've never seen a GTA do this, standard cars make about 90. I'm sure Gary will be able to post some times up later in the year, but you'll be too busy to get to a quarter mile strip Peter I expect. And if you do beat the 'dini he'll blow you away with his mk1 Escort instead.
