SUPER SCOOB REQUIRED FOR SHOOTOUT!!!
#1
URGENT!!!
We have lost our CAT 4 car for the up and coming Cossie battle, and need a replacement.
You will be needed for two days (25th/26th April) for a rolling road test and varios performance tests. Accomodation paid for if needed.
Anyone got any suggestions?
If so, call me asap on 07971 087017.
Anything over 320bhp considered.
Stef.

Stef,
No chance - I didn't think such a car existed (unless we're talking PEs rollers, then you need to subtract 30bhp anyway!).
Prepare to be wasted in EVERY category.
LOL
Cossies will win on default, 'cos Scooby drivers are so yellow and have heard how good our Cat 4 car is, so are pulling out left right and centre.
Any news on your gearbox?
Mike
PS. Did I mention that Cossies rule lately?!

Moray,
You have to remember that this is in their minds at the moment and NOT proven on the track (or anywhere else for that matter).
Besides they wouldn't want the public humiliation of being beaten by a 14 year old Ford....

Perhaps, but the drivers need to be good as well!!!!
Mike.
If it comes to it I'll enter Cat 4 as well!!! lol
Apparently my gearbox only had a faulty bearing, so should be ready in time.

Craig there's going to be an even faster Cossie there. He was running very low 12'5 on Sunday at the Pod. Somehow I think you chocolate engine boys are going to be struggling to beat that

Weaver,
I won't disagree - but that is one category, money no object that is largely irrelevant. The more a Cossie will pee on me, the more irrelevant it becomes! However when I pee on a Cossie, it is extremely relevant, obviously!

Er Moray,
My car isn't 14 years old, my car isn't even in it. The reason being that Stef's original Cat 4 car from Scotland (c400bhp) was supposed to be capable of 12.2s standing quarter, as my car has only ever done a 12.6 (and is 2wd, so not like for like), I picked a 4x4 capable of a proven 11.80s @ 115 mph (did a 12.04 on Sunday when his water injection wasn't working....).
Obviously we are gonna kick your butts.....
LOL

Lets see now... Car goes in straight line for quarter of a mile... Car's don't go if slightest drop of rain occurs... Humm... I agree Mike, this does look like (steering wheel optional) cossie territory.

Moray,
Despite your technical mind, sometimes I do wonder if you can actually read (or absorb the stuff you do read )! It is only at Santa Pod that you have to stop racing if it rains. The performance testing will be done at Alconbury air field rain or no rain... Santa Pod's specially treated surface turns into a skid pan if there is water on it, which is why they HAVE to stop in the rain. Even when it is virtually dry with just the odd damp patch, it has been know for powerful cars to step sideways at 100mph (I have the skid marks to prove it ).
There are five categories to each car. Top speed, 0-60, standing quarter, power figure and handling. Even if we don't win the last one that leaves four out of five in every category (apart from Stef's - bvgger!).
Read it and weep...
LOL

Mike,
Assuming that my only source of information on this subject is this thread, maybe you will appreciate why I may have read more emphisis on the quarter mile times than on other forms of testing... you yourself talk about cars in terms of quarter mile ETs on the thread.
Obviously you have been obsessing about this event for ages. I first read about it at the top of THIS thread, so I don't have the advantage of knowing all the previously discussed stuff that you do. Sorry for not being clairvoyant!
BTW: What number am I thinking of?
Moray
PS: I suppose I might tend to switch to low bandwidth when reading anything you post, is that unreasonable?

Mike,
You've got 160ish HP more than Stef, but can only do the 1/4 mile 4/10ths faster. How will any Cossie with a similar out put to a Scoob be close!!! The top category we all know you'll walk, but the first 3? Yeah, right!
