I had to look this up to put BigShow's numbers into perspective:

A 993 C4S '97 will do 13.5@102 (source)

Mighty impressive!

Woot! Not bad for an arse dragger! This is where it stands in the Santa Pod RWYB - RWYB - Castrol Challenge - Tables 2006

Errrrr...what is this car doing on the 2nd position?!??

RWYB - Picture Gallery

10.84s @ 130.78mph - Is there a rocket bolted on to this thing that is not visible on the picture?

If you look at the top of the list, this will really stands out from the crowd... Quite a sleeper.

Oh dear a Nova is faster than the fastest Mini CC601 - Sam Bolton - Vauxhall Nova 8vTurbo 13.5055s this need to be rectified .

4WD, huge turbo, nos and being an older car I wouldn't imagine it weighs too much either

[Paul@1320]

all the above making 602bhp and drove it there and doesn't touch it The funny thing about last Sunday was that myself Mark and James turned up at Santa Pod at the same time and not on trailers either.

I was fortunate to be able to sit down in the shade and have a good chat and laugh with them in between qualifying rounds, I obviously told them how jealous I was that they can drive there run 10s and drive home again.

AT least they have give me something to aim for the next round

When you start running these times how much does weight become an issue in getting them lower? Other than stripping out the interior, light wheels, single back box, I can't see any other cheapish ways of getting it down (other than the gym) not to mention I wouldn't want to lose aircon and interior etc (starts to become a race car thats street legal opposed to a road car that goes like a race car ).

Maybe this is another idea, could also increase the scoop size to ram some extra air in MINI COOPER S FIBERGLASS BONNET on eBay, also, Mini, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 19-May-08 20:07:19 BST)

But when you go 105.7mph Ant then we'll have something else to chase, it probably would of gone 106 if Thomas drove it, but unfortunatley he was working.

In all seriousness they're is always a disadvantage when chasing any mph / et record if you have a fully optioned car and weigh 40 stone

106mph here I come

Few more mods and I will put it on the strip to see if I can get close

Whats the weight of bens car without driver?

It weighs as much as a napkin and has a turbo... nuff said really. Next year will be a different matter.

Nice to hear that. Fast MINi.

[BigShow]

Hear this!

[Hyper Active]

So is that louder than your Milltek was ?. Have you done a power run on the rollers with the Borla ?.

[BigShow]

It is louder for sure but not by a massive amount plus its a much deeper sound, as GT4 Baz said, it sounds like well tuned NA engine now.

Highest power to weight ratio is always the target but at what expense and what the owner can tolerate in confort and noise, the biggest problem with removing weight is once you've experienced the higher power to weight ratio you dont want to go back, just like running nitrous
