Ahhh... must ave been one of em new fangled digital fings.........catches fings at the speed of light nowdaaays ya know!!!

Your cornering so fast your wheels seem to have dissapeared into the track sir!!

M

mprocureur

If you can go from 0 to 125mph in less than 7,8s, you are faster than the Kawasaki ZX-12R one of the (may be "the") quickest road bike of the world.....

V
Mike, Yamaha R1 rider (0 to 125mph in 8,5s)

Think it was 8000 and he asked me to take the corner at half speed so it didnt blur!

johnfelstead

Its corners that count mprocureur, i stuff em on a twisty road or track, ask any biker who has sat with me, they all cant believe how fast it is.

Basic spec is Escort Cosworth Turbo engine running 1.8bar boost peak, 1.5bar held (approx 330BHP)
BorgWarner T5 box
2wd cosworth read diff with quaife LSD
Big capacity baffled sump
Hybrid Turbo

Twin fuel pump system with presurised swirl pot.
Fully independant suspension, adjustable for toe, camber, caster.
Alloy uprights and hubs
Avo 24way ajustable shocks
2 1/4 turn quickrack
escort cosworth rear brakes
wilwood racing 4 pot front brakes
15" alloys with AVON ACB10 road legal competition tyres
700Kg fully fuelled, oiled and watered
0-60 in 3 seconds (traction permiting)
0-100 in 7.5 seconds (traction permiting)
Geared for 175MPH (i have seen 165 so far, it doesnt feel too fast )
One rather sedate driver behind the wheel LOL

The car is the 2nd fastest officially timed westfield ever on the 1/4 mile (i had a blown head gasket when i did that run)

Think thats enough info to give you some idea of what its capable of.
