Your car or a simillar one?



All the same, very tempting if I was to have that sort of money

dhorwich

that thing was awsome.... can you imagine how quick it would be with the addition of a turbo..... there was a DAX in CCC with a turbo'd hyabusa engine the other month...!!! quick as f*ck..

westfields own car - it doesn't weigh 410kg either - their car is 510kg at SVA. Ours is 480kg at the minute.

chrisp

LOL imagine what it will be like with NO2

igratton

Yeah...

imagine what it will be like when all the ali panels get replaced with carbon fibre sheet. and when all the nuts and bolts get replaced with titanium ones. and with race suspension. All being well we will weigh 450kg wet.

That was their boggo basic ROAD car !!!

Ian.

Ross Taylor

When are Radical going to lend them an SR3...?



Can't see anything being faster round that circuit than one of 'em...Even an Caterham R500 would struggle to beat it...

Just imho of course!

Ross.

DanTheMan

most excellent, I want one, can you fit a flat four engine in it ?

igratton

Only slight problem is that radicals are still not road legal. There isn't an SVA approved SR3 out there at the moment. It would be comparing against a true race car.

Even so - the SR3 would toast the zonda too.

Ian.

igratton

Dan - no point in fitting a scooby engine m8.

The busa engine and gearbox weighs 85kg with all the bits (loom etc). A scooby engine and gearbox is too heavy.

Besides - £2500 buys you a Holeshot turbo kit - 1.3L bike engine producing 320bhp @13psi....ummmm nice.

Ian,

Was that you I saw buying the orange paint at b&q !

Dave (Still wanting a ride even more now!)

IWatkins

Old V6 2.5l Cosworth as used in the Opel Calibra DTMs ? 450bhp and approx. 95kg ?



Of course, if you can get your hands on one.

Cheers

Ian

Andy Mid.

incredible !

I didn't think that this was it's most flattering view


especially when compared with


but laptimes speak for themselves and that was quite a result !

igratton

LOL.

Our car has a slight throttle sticking open at 8,500rpm problem at the moment. We'll get this resolved before Bedford.

Our trick race suspension may be on by then too.

Ian.

ARRON BIRD

Ian you better let me drive it matey or theres real trouble.

dhorwich

Am i right in thinking if you put a turbo on that car with 320bhp the BHP/TON would be around:

695bhp/ton....


Dan

igratton

er - we figured a 460kilo car with 320bhp motor would be something like 607bhp/tonne.

I think a turbo could ruin the car - we'll try 100bhp progressive nitrous to begin with I think.

Ian.

care3

wow,well impressed

hypoluxa

Sorry Ian... its crap. It won't get down my drive.... not that I'd be able to get in the thing once its their mind. Which is a good thing... I think

dazzaTypeR

How satisfying is it when 20k can beat mega bucks.....






I dont care how well built your bemmer is...

CraigH

All I can say is Westfields demo car sucks. It's slow for a start

Has a 5hite coour scheme

Lights look ****

Wheels are dire

Brakes are crap

Seats should be in a mondeo

etc etc.

And yes - ours is better, nicer looking, faster and cooler

johnfelstead

i wish the atom was ready, thats gonna kick your asses ian/craig LOL 450Kg and 290BHP and 250Lb/ft torque and more downforce.

mik

But on the plus side craig - the wheels stayed on

Car looked (and sounded) awesome. Even with w4nk-lights

uxg

I'd still rather have the Zonda anyday of the week

igratton

If we had 300+K I think Craig and I would be sharing a Zonda too.
(Obviously we'd need an Enzo and Lambo too for daily drivers).

But for the time being we'll 'make do' with the westi

Ian.

CraigH

If I had that kinda money I'd have the westie and a ongoiing supply of 450hp Holeshot lumps

And I ain't sharing a Pagani with no-one - all mine!
