Default 200mph shoot-out in November's Redline mag

I'm not normally impressed by these sorts of articles, but .....

Skyline R33 GTR with 2.7 litre conversion, T78 turbo, 100bhp nitrous, 790bhp at the wheels ...

0-100mph: 6.23 seconds
0-150mph: 12.79
0-200mph: 27.17 (in just 1.25 miles)



Arguably just as impressive was a modded 200SX that did 0-100mph in under 8.5 seconds .....

Oh, and an EVO VII that did 0-150mph in 12.02 seconds!

I went to that

The Skyline in question is "Rocket Ronnie's" which also did a 205mph top speed (limited by no more gears rather than not enough power)

You think thats impressive - you should have seen what the Norris Designs Evo managed:

0-60 2.6 seconds
0-100 5.6 seconds
0-150 12.06 seconds
200.7mph top speed in an Evo 7

C, yep, impressive stuff! Wouldn't mind a sound recording of that day ...

The bloke in the Evo VII had to take the rear wing off first though
But it's not exactly an aerodynamic car ....
