Not long been a member, not long been into kit cars thinking about it. I am a biker or was, until, I was passed around the out side of one of those long on the A41, by what I think was the car at the top of the page. So what I hear you say. The problem is that I was ringing my Fireblades neck (doing a very safe speed officer) thinking I was Foggy. $h!t that car go's can any body fill me in on what that car has got in it and whats it top speed.
Hello '' FOGGY'' , Yes it does shift doesn't it . Was your vision along the dual carraigeway bit of the A41 from J20 M25 towards Aylesbury and possibly around 1st or 2nd of July ? If so , we were coming back from the TWMC sprint at Goodwood , me in a L.Cruiser towing my red Stylus with Tim following . He got pi----d off once we were off the M25 and shot off past me , sitting having a cuppa on my lawn when I got home ! He stayed over and travelled back to Wales the next day.(a Sunday).
Spec' is 225 - 230 BHP Raceline 2lt Duratec /throttle bodies , pro - c/r box , 3.89diff' , riding on 195x45x15 's with 7 inch rims. The diff' gives it very long legs , around 20mph up on my 134 + but it's the torque of the Duratec right through the range at 190ft/lbs that gives it such grunt in the higher gears. When on track for magazine tests etc , he has run a 4.4 diff' and that really does make it savage !!! but around 130 ish all out.
Are you close enough to the Aston Clinton / Tring area to have a look at mine and chatter / swap stories ?
Regards , Rob.
