Ed30 beaten by a CTR
« on: 25 November 2007, 23:31 »
My friend who has an Edition 30 exactly like mine told me he got beaten by a Honda CTR - old shape - when he was driving on the autobahn.  :embarassed: :embarassed: The Ed30 pulled away slowly upto 125mph but then let the CTR catch up.  But what got him was the ease and speed at which the CTR passed him at 140mph.  He didn't really want to go faster than that as it was dark and the road - ahem Autobahn - was narrow in places sort of like an English dual carriageway A road.  None-the-less, my friend was surprised that he didn't lose the CTR in the first place.  :shocked:

Thats what I've been saying to him too... his nickname is 'Fast' by the way, he's quite short and appears to have red eyes :evil: - probably due to driving too much.  :evil:

From what he told me though, I reckon for the CTR to have that much extra pace at 140mph must have been tuned or something...  :huh:

CTR's can be tuned with engine mods and exhaust at around 230bhp. If you supercharge them they can go in excess of 300bhp :shocked:

The Ariel Atom has a supercharged CTR engine and puts out 300bhp. :evil:
