Is the bear starting to get worried that the mighty desmond 4 pot may just be a problem ,lol

  as long as I get sub ten secs I'll be happy

[henryd]

Used to be something like £30 for as many goes as you like.

Or untill the AR25 expired

I'll borrow a labradoodle and show you what a four pot diesel can do driven in anger...

Oct. 4th. Get a proper 0-60 time. Any one ever been to this?

Not for a very long time. Twenty years ago, We were at RWYBs every 3or4 weeks, when you felt disappointed when you only got a dozen runs in rather than the 3or4 you might manage today. Several times I put 20runs on my daily Capri that was my ride to work. Stock 2.0l Capris run 17.1 seconds at about 75mph. A stock mk1 3.0l might just break into the 15s.

I bet that a strong 3.0l Omega is going to manage mid 16s if anyone drives it hard enough; autos will be easier to launch hard and consistently.

Talking of Crapis, I saw a very nice black A reg 2.8i on the M25 this morning, heading clockwise past J11 at about 6:15... 

Christ knows why but thought of you as soon as I saw it

[Webby the Bear]

ps, is it just room for one car at a time? and whats the chances of blowing up my AR25 on 4 or 5 fullbore runs? lol

[4x4]

2 cars side by side,and depends how you drive ,if i was driving i might get 2 runs out of a ar25 you will be fine for 4 or 5 and i can offer a recovery service just in case

lol for the whole 1/4 mile im just going to floor it in sports mode

how close are you next to the other? wouldnt want them or me to make a mistake and end up colliding

Plenty of space if you are the faster car

No lane divider's apart from a painted marker  Auto and sport mode , stick in 2nd and size 12 to the floor and smell the ar25 melting 

[cem_devecioglu]

dont forget -  tc off..

You're probably only 12' from the other car, Webby, and 12' from a concrete wall on the other side.. and as has been said, there is no divider - stuff it up badly enough (or if the other person does) and you're into a wall or a car.

Having said that you'd have to drive like a complete dingle to get an Omega that out of shape, and if the other car is fast enough to get that out of shape it's probably far down the road already..


Left foot on brake, bring the revs up to just off the stall speed of the torque convertor and when the lights go green, mash the throttle then feather the wheel spin off.

I don't guarantee you'll get even one run out of the gearbox doing that, though.. so probably a better idea just to treat it like a traffic light GP.


Oh and as said, I'm not sure Santa Pod offer 0-60mph times, just how long it takes you to complete the set distances (0-60ft, 0-200ft and quarter mile, usually) and your reaction time..
