should have took the fizzy Daz,could have showed em some proper acceleration.

It was mentioned Albs, plus there was huge hay bails to help stop me at the end of the runway  

[tmx]

how many extra bhp does it give a 2.5?

i reckon the v6 could be supercharged fairly easyish

[Elite Pete]

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

Hmm mine will be similar spec to Mikes when finished and to be honest I am good at launching autos, I think I will have to go next year and try it.

You will definately not stand a chance next year.... Pete will have a 3.0 Omega engine in then

And I will have lost 4 stone by then so even Broocie won't stand a chance

Dont brake until your staring god in the eyes.

you will still be noticably slower on a 0-110mph dash than a similar manual.

MDTM used MikeDundees 2.6 manual against mine, and trust me, he got the best possible from that setup.

I should point out, my autobox is in stunning condition for 153k, so no hassles with the launch starts.

Would have liked to have done this up the runway strip

Was only talking about it with nickv6 on the thursday with mikedundee and with Ian_D as well. If we had known we would have joined in, looked like some good fun.

Organise a meet at Santa Pod and then you can all "run what ya brung"

Might be an idea for one of our meets?

[tmx]

yeah we should get up the Pod PVS???

id be up for racing the MV6

last yr there was a Victor F-D there that was beating everyone namely because it had a jet engine on it

This is a good idea.
My 2.6 manual would be far quicker than Elite pete MX-5 over aquarter mile.It would be almost too easy .

A decent launch will eat an mx-5

[tmx]

no it wont you fail to realise an omega weighs nearly 2 tons

Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) :  125.99 is the true power to weight ratio for a 3.2V6

Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) :  135.16 is the power to weight ratio for a 1.8 MX5

its like trying to say a Scania Lorry is faster than a ferrari because it has a 16 litre straight 6!

[Omega man 2]

What torque does the mx5 have?
