Then jumps when changing gear, should it have a solid back end idealy?

Would make sense for a drag car, but I'm lead to believe it's also a road car?

For about 2 seconds, then it runs out of puff.

58 psi :shocked:

I don't even know if that is good or not :lipsrsealed: :wink: What does a ARL boost at?

That is ridiculously quick. Why didn't the guy in The fast and furious just drive that instead of his crappy Supra!

Post by: Neo Badness on 15 November 2011, 23:44: 58psi = about 4Bar. Which is quite a lot. Like that it's a road car too.

Look it up but i'm sure a stock GTR does 0-60 in just over 3 and this thing did it in a run at 2.7

From what I can see in the video, the Mk2 in question is running a 9 second 1/4 mile. The Astra VXR it is up against runs a pretty respectable 14.6 so it would seem the timing at the strip is pretty accurate.

To put that into perspective, a Bugatti Veyron runs a 10.4 second 1/4 mile.

Post by: Neo Badness on 17 November 2011, 23:13: Is there a build thread for this or any info on spec's for it?

Assume it must be running haldex rather than syncro?

Nice bit of engineering. I like the idea of pulling up to a veyron at the lights and then giving them a spanking over the .25 mile :grin:
