I think Andy F's home brew system must be good for about 350bhp per ton.

hey reffro, does that bike ride itself then?

Why do people NEVER INCLUDE THE DRIVER?

Unladen F1 car roughly 1450bhp/ton
With driver and full tank 1150bhp/ton

big difference.

JF is just a show off power tart!

JF, "helping people with their cars" doesn't count !!

Otherwise I'll claim 1500bhp/tonne when I "helped my mate" with his Top Fuel Funny car.

well, i half designed/built the esprit. The only thing i didnt do was pay the bills, but the time i put into it would have bought it 4 times over. So to me it counts.

The Atom i have money in, so i part own it. I say i am helping with it because most of the car is owned by my friend and it was his idea.

the Westie was my car 100%

Not that i give a toss about all that David and unlike some, i aint a showoff, i use this kit as it's intended, it's not for posing.

I forgot my STi and the GroupA rally car too.

So, when it's all said, and done, it's about 215bhp/ton for John then Just as well that he's a good driver, or should I say "cone BASHER"

Thats what happens when you try things out to go faster, sometimes it doesnt work. I did end the day significantly faster than any other Subaru though, so trying diferent ideas paid off.

Dont ever be afraid to screw up in the quest for improvement, you of all people should know that one mark. LOL

oh, i have seen the odd person having a go at posing in an Atom, but that's not what they are about, unlike the exige, which the majority seem to use for posing as they arent much cop at anything else it seems.

I have yet to work out why they are always so slow on track??

Funny, I say the same about Westfields..

I guess you're going to accuse Walter Rohrl of posing in his GT2 when he set the lap record for the 'ring

I can only assume you're referring to yourself, given you never seen me drive my GT2 or Exige. It's good to see someone being so modest about their abilities.
