Although the forum shootout was initialy meant to be for Hot hatches, it seems to of attracted a bit of attention. But with it being a public RWYB day, obviously anyone can attend..
Have seen a few of you boys at Pod before actually and fancied a run along side a 335 (seeing as the mapped ones were running very similar times and terminals to me), but never happened in the end. But if any of you do make it on the 1st Feb, i'd be happy to have a friendly blast (although you may have to sit and wait for me to get off the line with this weather ..
Oh and my 13.2 @ 107mph was done with Stage 1 Remap and exhaust (315-320bhp), so not really what I would call highly tuned.

Be interesting to see Carlos' timing slip to compare with mine to see where the cars are quicker/slower etc..
Anyway nice forum chaps..

Mate I'll give you a go if you want .. I have got 400 +/- bhp and about 450lbs tq, but monsterous wheel spin in this weather , so you may do it to me.
If your up for it I'll get time off with mrs and work and catch you down there.

Cheers,

ZK1

I was working. Also I heard it was going to snow so my mate in his 911 turbo didnt show either. He is after a mid 11.

I heard you went well mate? 12.9? or was that someone else?

That was a mate, but cars look very very similar. My best was a 13.2 @ 111mph in the end. His was quicker, but has more mods and less weight..
Ended up being a cracking day to be fair and apart from the ten mins of snow, the weather was fine, fecking cold, but fine.. lol

13.2 is still motoring mate. Well done.

What spec is your mates one which did 12.98? How do you find launching the FWD? What was your and your mates 60ft's?

I didn't find the grip that bad considering my tyres were near enough shot, but best was only a 2.39 (not sure what Jonny's were)..
If you want to know his spec, have a butchers here at his build thread..
