All MV6s are 3 Litre or 3.2 or if its a facelift could be a 2.6

a manual MV6 3.0 or 3.2 may stand a good chance depending how long the strip is ive dragged my mv6 a fair few times and it will wipe the smile off any 306 GTi 6 owners face & various other Hot Hatches

put it against a VW Golf 1.8t GTi though and you will be the one with no smile

[cem_devecioglu]

for the short distance drag weight plays an important role..

I remember the face of brand new 3.0 Audi A6 owner when  I was in clit

[Mr Skrunts]

So, is there any video evidence of these events to prove that pete wasnt cheating.

[TheBoy]

I wonder if my 2.6 would have beat it?

I have managed 7.8 0-60 and this is before the porting and 3.0 cams

Nope, it wouldn't, not on that short stretch from standing start (where the hairdresser made his gains). In fact, I reckon he'd leave you for dust at any achievable speed on that stretch.

2 Omegas really impressed me on that larking about - my own, and MikeDundees.

My own felt good and strong, sounded great in the cabin, anyone care to comment on what it sounded like from outside?  I reckon by 153k 3.0 auto was about similar to Hotel21's 67k 3.2 auto, though he won due to a cleaner start.

MikeDundee's, a MDTM'd modified 2.6 manual, was similar to my 3.0 auto, with mine winning purely on a better start.

Of the 3 attempts against the mazda, 1 I aborted as a car was driving the other way up the strip, another I tried starting from a patch of gravel with obvious results, and another was driver error  .  Ignoring the aborted attempt, the fact EP managed to get his going quicker, I would have to conceed defeat graciously , but always up for a rematch

All of his runs he got good, quality starts, which is where I think he gained most of his advantage.  Great going EP

I have never heard such rubbish.I love the MX-5 ,and have driven them several times ,as I have two girlfriends that own one.
They are the ultimate girly sports car.
But they are no match for my 2.6 manual ,and they longer the distance the further the little MX-5 gets left behind.
So I have two suggestions for Miggy OOF drag racers.

1. Learn to drive as well as Elite Pete.
2.Keep away from the pies and KFC.

or a longer strip

I think I was only hitting slightly over a ton before my breaking area...

[Omega man 2]

My sister has a new shape mx-5 2.0 sport. I drove it down the country last summer while my mig was suffering from a case of blown engine.

Not my cup of tea at all, no legroom, sore arse and I couldn't hang my arm out the window

A well looked after 3.0 with recon heads and manual box will destroy a 2.0 mx-5 once the driver can get it off the line properly

[MikeDundee]

Was good bit of fun, but if the strip was longer it would have been a different story, well done to EP Daz does have a video on his phone the only problem is you can't hear the car engines for Daz's laughing

[tunnie]

I think Pete had to get Daz to hospital, the baby was ready, hence the rush!  

Seriously though it was very quick, only a 3.0's or 3.2s could beat it  

[Elite Pete]

Err think again

[Robski]

wheres the vid EP?

[Elite Pete]

They do handle ok, even with Petes poor driving style......but part of that is due to the low power output so its difficult to get yourself into trouble when applying the power.

Pretty piss poor in a straight line though as they are pretty tame on the output side with the 1.6 only managing a 0-60 of 9.6 seconds (terribly sorry old boy, I am a little tired) with the (much better setup) 1.8 just edging 9 seconds.

I wonder who it was said this

[tmx]

i bet it would of been interesting with a manual v6

[MikeDundee]

Well I did have a run in the line up, and came last, seemingly screwed the start :-/, need some more practice
