turbo

The thing is, once you start swapping engines you can make any car quick. I used to be very much into hot rods. Basically street legal cars (usually really old, like 1930`s -> 1950`s) but with a big block chevy engine (or rover v8) in them. Most decent v8`s can kick out 600bhp in a road going car, which is mind blowing.

Ive a video of when jeremy clarkson used to boast each week on top gear about the latest super cars, so a bunch of hot rodders invited him to get the quickest car he could and bring it to the drag strip and they would teach him a lesson. He turned up in a cyclone pickup which as stock is as quick as a lambo diablo. They pitched it up against a street legal 1934 ford coupe, with a big block hemi engine in it. The bloke was still running his engine in, but he left the cyclone standing as if it was a bus.

One of my favourite hot rods was a completely stock looking ford anglia from the late 60`s. (harry potter car). The bloke fitted an rs500 cosworth engine in it & running gear. But, it looked stock. Around a proper race track, he was something like .4 seconds slower than a forumula 1 car. Amazing when you think he built the anglia in his garden shed.

Ive also seen a mk2 ford escort, space framed, rs500 engine kicking out 500bhp on a race track. That thing looked stock from the outside, but its the quickest car ive ever ever seen. It was leaving a ferrari f40 for dead on the back straight and nothing could keep up with it on the bends. He was getting wheelspin every time he changed gear. I spoke to the owner and he then told me that he also had nitrous on it, but darent use it!

I know another bloke who put an escort cossy engine & 4x4 running gear into a renault 5 gt turbo.

At the end of the day its all down to what money you want to spend on something!

Biker

have you ever watched bike racing in the rain? does it appear slow to you?

Well off road isn't a fair comparison with road bikes, you'd have to use a scrambler


On the road even when I had a mildly modded 1200 Bandit (not the fastest of bikes) I never met a car that gave me anywhere near a challenge, most car drives either loose power or their balls once you get over 140

lol I really don't know where you're getting your bike knoweldge from


I've been round corners at 160mph before (bike would only do 165) is that what you clarify as slowing down?

lol and I've had the back wheel out beside me on many an occasion. Sliding easier is not an advantage, much easier to not slide at all!

Sure the majority of cars these days are front wheel drive and we all know they can't go round corners fast without understeering!

was probably a CBR250 or 400 :p

And don't forget I've been in the bike scene all my life and I would say that 90% of sports bike riders can't ride for ****!

the bike was a 1000RR. the car was an enzo though :p

And also agree, most biker riders are ****, which is why it might let them down round here.

Biker, perhaps you know stuff bout doing your bike test etc then, im after doing mine for this summer.
