Nice one Alexis - so when do you get to road test? laugh

From the graph it builds torque very well indeed on the GT30.

I've over spec'd everything. Injectors are 750cc in size, i run a in tank pump and an external bosch 044 motorsport fuel pump to make sure i have the fuel, and the turbo, well, it has scope for flowing more than 400bhp

I don't think is a fool’s joke as it seems to be too real.

Very impressive results. Your GT3076R is designed to run 525BHP so to get an extra 25BHP just shows how efficient your engine must be. The torque as well is an amazing figure. These results now make you a 16VT legend laugh . I'll be waiting to see this at TOTB? Well done thumb

I know but I read the story in the project folder and it seems to add up time scale wise plus Phill owns a Dastek Dyno. If it is a joke then he’s got us all really well but it’s just too real to be false.

I think people should know me better by know, i've done loads of April fool's jokes on here over the 8 - 9 years i've been on the forum. The RR graph was nicked from Google images, a bit of tweaking in PhotoFiltre allowed me to edit out various bits and pieces and put in my details. The real graph is below

Hi Si,... yes I am afraid so!

Every time I think of something else to buy, some other bill crops up to steal my money away!,.. plus I was ill for a good 5/12 from last year, so that meant no money either.

Secretly I would like Eldinho to sell my old coupe back, but I doubt he will tongue

Miss the fun of the Coupe ownership a LOT of fun for the little outlay really,..the Alfa runs fine, is comfortable etc,..but sod that,..I miss the excitment!!

Hows things yourself?

The fastest 16vt engined car in the world, is this one;-
http://www.sfconline.org.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1101&SearchTerms=LANCIA

It has recently broke the record for 1/4 mile and 1/2 mile. Runs 650 bhp for sprints, but also can run over 900bhp!!!
Guy Croft I believe did the head for the car.
