Hey, lag monster or not, once that thing starts sucking in the wildlife along the road, there's no catching it.

180mph top speed? Challenge accepted
at old setup (460bhp), 280kmh (via gps)
Now with 2.4 head, cams, solid lifters, 9000rpm... it must go faster!!!
and what is the 1/4 fastest time?

Can't see the video unfortunately mate??

Don't even bother asking about the 1/4 mile time...I did and regret asking, apparently someone MAY have broken it but the people involved are keeping it hush hush for some reason????

A bit of honesty would have been nice, for example they are waiting to update a website and this is part of an unveil then I would understand but instead they took the piss, won't be forgotten.

As far as I'm concerned Mavric and Flea still hold the fastest time at 11.9 seconds @ 119/120mph

Done with race fuel and slicks, so it doesn't count.

Well yes it does, it's the fastest overall FWD fiat coupe 20v time, whether its done with slicks, race fuel, fully lightened chassis etc etc its still the fastest 1/4 time achieved with a FWD layout and 20vt power plant.


We weren't looking for dedicated non slick everyday road car times, unless they can beat that time that is?

I don't like face fuel as its too unpredictable with ambient temps.
Therefor I won't use it unless the mapper is next to me.

Not to mention the correct pipework and pumps needed to operate correctly.
Drag slicks I love though.

I think there is too much of a fuss made about people complaining folks are using drag slicks, you wouldn't go running in a pair of slippers....

Well, that time has been beaten, so it doesn't really matter.

@JTB "Face fuel"

I'm with Davie, this whole secrecy thing is frankly pathetic

Now where did the gay emoticon go

Bloody predictive text.

I meant face fuel

You must have been on Face Time ....

I agree. It's also boring, let's talk about face fuel some more, that sounds interesting

Glad to see some people agree with how ridiculous the "secret squirrel" thing is, not just my perception eh Barbz? Cheeky sod

Luckily we don't care what you think.

Yeah, for someone who doesn't care, you're crying a hell of a lot.

Yeah its pathetic boring rediculous and silly

Jbt and Bigenz are those comments aimed at me?

Pretty rude comments.

Look out, the top secret power rangers are on one! Lol

I know of a VW that can do the 1/4 in 9 seconds......but I can't say anything more about that!

I'm glad you found time to buy the magazine there Phil .

Don't forget though that power isn't economical.
Really glad your back on here as this place just isn't the same without your nice comments lol lol lol

Davie if you don't like it then don't give it

Thanks John

I'm happy to be back

It was a youtube vid, you can't get UK mags out here unless at the airport.

You should've said Phil I would've gladly sent you a signed copy for some bedtime reading .

No need for that, I'd get bored, as I said earlier

You are a hard one to please Phil.
Do have a lovely evening,take care and speak soon.

Same to you

I really can't understand why the traders section closed with your lovely attitude.

Read the post,as I believe it was you who criticised followed by sulking when you got it back.

I reiterate,if you don't like it back then don't give it.

Sadly you don't know me, I was not sulking, I was very interested in the 1/4 mile discussion and found the secrecy infuriating tbh as other members have.

As a trader I'm pretty surprised at how you are acting. Losing my business and a couple of folks I know in the process.

Trader or not,when someone makes statements like you have done I fight my corner.
Your pleasant enough via email when enquiring about your car yet when there's a crowd you decide to be inconsiderate and rude.

What makes you think you've got the right to know what I get upto in my spare time just because I put up a comment saying I've been to Santa pod?

Come on guys, put your toys away, have a beer and go to bed. No need for this to get out of hand.

After coming back on here and finding the traders section gone, and reading lots of threads about the place isn't the same anymore. I don't think my previous 'nice' comments are the issue tbh John

I've looked for that 9 second VW video, it's a direct link from a friends mobile onto Facebook, so I can't post it on here.
