I would disregard the 6.71 and put me down as a 6.95er, In drag racing you only set a record if you can back it up within 1%, so as the 6.95 doesn't back up the 6.71 its a 6.95 car at the moment

has Roland ran the 350turbo car yet?

Mods - Alta V2 15% Pulley, Alta CAI (with top), JCW 4-2-1 Mani, JCW Back Box
Cost - £1100
Wheels - Run Falts @ 31psi 195/55R16 X-lites
Outside Temp - 14deg

1st - 6.2
2nd - 6.0
3rd - 6.5
4th - 5.9
5th - 5.8

Avg - 6.08

only problem is im still waiting on my bottom bush mounts you can hear the mani hitting the anti roll bar, the engine check light comes on and the ecu retards the timing you can feel it

if i get them fitted then ill like to do a back to back test with a Intercooler to see how much of a difference it makes!

We'll see next week when we put a std manifold and stock exhaust back on
I personally reckon about 8-10 if you're lucky.

Nothing like real world testing for back to back mod changes and a dyno if you get your hands on one.

Certainly looking forward to your results on the Mini Mania 4-2-1 Manifold. Mine really seems to pull much hard in the mid range torque.

Good thinking Jon! Hope to see all you 6secs or less especially at this to see if if everyone comes out in the same order on the dyno too!

Tempted to say that 6.5 sec might be rogue one. Sometimes its easier to take the slowest and fastest time off first and then average. Especially if there are times that are quite a way different.

[BRMCooper]

the times are all over the place because the two 5.sec runs i could feel the timing go out a bit but the 6secs runs you can really feel the timing go way out! its sooo anoying it feels like someone turning down the boost

thats why i really want to get the bush asap and see the times then tbh the 6dead is all all prob get from it.... at the moment

[Paul@1320]

I reckon after a while we'll be able to work out a formula for weight / horsepower = 30-70 ET or 30-70 ET = power to weight ratio

About 6.2 second. I have my tacho in km/h so it was from 48kmh-112kmh. But because I am runing 205/40 17 and tacho lie a little (about 8km/h) I was measured from 50km/h to 120km/h.

2002 car (longer gearbox).

So I actually measured longer distance then you. The right will be from 56 to 120. But I cant' help I do not have a mph tacho.
You have in km/h too...so it would be easier to do this in km/h.

There are some pretty amazing cars with similar 30-70mph times:

Impreza STI: 5.0
Evo VIII: 4.9
Exige MK2: 4.8
RS4: 4.1
Z4 M Coupe: 4.6

But the ones to beat are:

599 GTB: 2.6
LP640: 2.8
Zonda: 2.6
Carrera GT: 2.7
Veyron: 2.0

Come on Paul, load up the nitrous and see if you can wup the Veyron between 30-70!

I get the older box. I will try in second tonight.

I totally missed this post BigShow, glad you believe we can go in the 2s but really you should be asking Roland with the GTT350.

Just experimenting at the moment so might have a new figure later, this is nearly better than drag racing, defintley a lot cheaper

Where are all the heavy hitters times like GTT270, SuperCoopers, Bhozer, Lucky Dave, Crofty etc etc
