Good luck, let us know how you get on, get the launch right and you'll be fine. .. and I'll follow with a dustpan and brush to pick up the gearbox/diff/clutch parts. Good luck - just hope the car is a toy and not your daily driver. Boringly negative, but Coupes are stylish quick cheap Grand Tourers, not drag artists

It would appear they dont wish to carry out the £500 bet anymore Its okay though because they will get something to shut them up soon. Certain people on here will know what im talking about

Never that. the thought of going forged isnt even a option i dont plan on getting to that sort of power! I will be happy with 350 and as for betting it was bought up of there own back!

Iv'e seen a 20v coupe run consistant low 11 second runs at santa pod. It was about 5-6 years ago, I don't know much about it only that the tuner was the same guy that tuned my cars at the time and the car got broken up shortly after.

Are you thinking of Markus? I don't think he ever did 11 second but was regularly doing 12 second runs.

Well it was a similar greyish colour to that marvic one in the vid, It could be that I suppose. I'll have to show the video to my mate who was with me at the time.

I'd agree Tim, I've done my time trying to net .'s of a second up santa pod, and it's hard to do in normal car. You just hit a wall whereby the next step is spaceframe it and/or do something crazy with a V8 and a rear axle :-)
Boring Richard.
Back on the subject, the car I saw all those years ago wasn't the grey one in begbie's vid, I saw it in the for sale section last year and I know that low 11's coupe was broken up a long time ago.

Absolutely not - when I was running 300bhp, I did a 13.37 @ 102 - clearly the gain for that run was in the launch, not in the top speed

As Nigel said. It was all in the launch. I had race logic traction control with "launch control", but could actually get a better time ( 13.6) with out it on.
