How dare you even suggest the car and driver may cheat!!!!! 
It's simple......
If the car wins the handling circuit, the guy with the black visor will be me.
If the car loses, the guy with the black visor will be Simon.

And?
I drove mine like that everyday for 2 and a half years
Some of the roads round here are nigh on identical to those in that clip
I cant drive round corners for love nor money, but i have a damned good go trying, and a whole load of laughs

Well I've thrown my cards on the table to show you what I have been doing. With the exception of Messrs Darley and Felstead, I reckon the rest of you are just keyboard warriors. If not then get your videos up on the site - show us what you're made of

So what do we all reckon we'll get on the strip then???
Come on - let's see what you realistically think you can do.
I'd love to see myself in the 11s and think I will be very lucky if I do - but probably low 12's - but I'll certainly give it a damn good try.
Oh and the car is an STI5 RA Ltd running 366/375. I'm pretty sure I can get a good launch - not sure if I should try flat-shifting the gears to get the very best time - or if that could potentially blow up the gearbox (really don't want to do that as I need it to drive back home to Portsmouth) - any ideas???
Cheers
Terry

i think your gearing will hinder you a lot terry, as youll be going in to 5th before the line. if you had UK ratios then 11 would be possible, but on RA gears im not so sure.

But don't you think I will be accelerating quicker due to the gearing?? And a change to 5th will only hinder by say 0.2s - but if I've made 1s in sheer acceleration with short ratios????
I dunno - but will have fun finding out
So what time are you gunning for Neilo??? And be honest

nothing else bar a remap, its just on its running in map at the mo you see....and Bob couldnt fit me in until the 13th.
not sure about the NOS. i will do some runs without it and see what i do....if i find that i cant even break 13 without it then ill have a rethink!! if however i did 12.3 without it, then i wont bother!
