Ha, talk about working backwards? If Roland turbos a R53 to get high power, why would he supercharge a R56?

Excellent - can't wait to see that - the one you did for the R53 was the best single mod on my car. Feels funny driving without it now whilst I wait for my R56 JCW.

Around a racetrack yes, but around on one of the gymkhana / autocross courses in the 2005 Grand Prix Rally (Victoria, Australia) I set the fastest time against a couple of 500+hp evo 8's and 9's, and even a 911 GT2 with carbon / kevlar panels etc etc.

So Roland, when are you shipping one over here for me to test drive?????? I'm thinking I need to book a holiday to the UK.

Lee, will you ever be taking the GTT300T on the drag strip? I'd love to see some times and let paul use the formula to work out what bhp your running

2 much · Oct 17th, 2007, 06:21 PM

might have a go next year i will try anything once

the biggest problem with my car i would have to change the camber settings as the car is really a track car . but with a bit of tinkering it could be strip car for the day

having said that i could run it like it is see what happens
