Last season 13 of us where pulled by the official VOSA roadside squat team! they had 4 4 poster ramps and where inspecting evry 3rd car that came along the road, When we all rolled along we where ALL pulled in, out of 13 3 cars had prohibition notices, All for noise ONLY, 2 of them the noise was coming from the pro chargers at the front!! This was hailed as a credit to the class.

The Vosa team where towing away un roadworthy cars by the dozen.

 

All 3 cars where taken along and re-mot'd of course passing with flying colours. Most of these older cars have very loose legislation on what noise and regulations they should meet. An mot'er does not know how it should sound, it can come down to having to resemble the original manufacturers specifications, Most SE cars ARE actually as quiet as a standard car, unless they are nailed, hence the word "Street CRUISE" just cruisin baby...;-)

Each time you have posted Scott i have said i understand what you are saying, i still understand;)

 

No bother, just seemed like you were putting forward counter arguments against what I was saying so thought you weren't following me :)

Is that the official world record? Like guiness world record or whatever holds the official 1/4 mile records?

 

No one like Guiness will do an official world record for a single make car, who cares its fastest road legal car full stop, not one car will tell you the truth about its full spec, it will be 'sure that run was pump gas' how would you know is 98 with power pour pump gas??? no thats like sasying its pump gas................................with a gallon of toluene, some methanol, nitro and octane booster, pump gas is out of a pump nothing added, I would happily run 2.5 bar on 98 with the power pour, thats not pump gas. People get too set on ive done this or that, enjoy the cars for what they are very fast very expensive big boys toys.

So as far as the fastest road legal car in the world goes, and the fastest jap road legal car in the world goes, nothing is actually official? It's all just youtube and timeslips? Edit: Oh and take the owners word for it with no checks/testing?

 

I'm not trying to be clever here by the way, I honestly don't know and it seems mental to me if this is the case.

your missing the point which is the point you are making, ALL the cars are altered to do the cruise, how many race with a CAT and would make their emmission target (older cars won't have this problem) sure you can plug a laptop in and input a tune that with a sports cat may just scrape thru but try and run it like that, I had VOSA look at a stock BPU car and the guy pulled it to pieces, they can ask you to rev it, its not just tick over, open WG is totally illegal. No there is no DB limit BUT as the VOSA guy explained the wording is of the lines of causing a nuisance and as he said in HIS opinion it was too loud and thats what matterd, HIS opinion.

UFC - Cain Velasquez

 

Boxing - There are a few

 

 

I don't see the comparison though. All fighters are checked prior to the fight for having anything to aid them in the fight, wouldn't be the first time someone has removed the stuffing from their gloves. Also there is performance enhacing drugs tests etc.

 

Yes you see the victory on tv but it is strictly governed and in order to become one of those champions you are under the same ruling which is in black and white. In order to beat the best you need to be the best, not buy better tyres and say "road legal" in the video heading.

No Scott that is the point and you have answered it UFC !!!! But there are other organizations, so those champions will claim the title as you also said in boxing there are prob 5 diff world champions in diff organizations, its not in my eyes a quantifiable claim as it will always have a variable aside from the how many non Toyota bits are fitted, if you are saying I have the worlds fastest Aston martin it should be that an Aston Martin, not an aston with a chevy box, ford diff, mercedes fuelpump, and BMW gear lever, ALL the major mechanical parts should be from the manufacturer (modified however you want ) but stock casings and same amount of cylinders etc. is a Pro Mod car eligable as a contender if you get it to drive on the road. Even my car if I fit a 5 speed seq box is no longer really a toyota is it ????

Thems the rules though John, they are written in black and white and anyone can feel free to take a crack at it. You asked about the UFC, not the other organisations. The best in the UFC is not necessarily the best in the world, just the best in the UFC.

 

If there are no official rules for running a street car then there are no official world records. If there are rules for certain countries, and certain events.. then fine. You can be the fastest in that country given those rules, and the fastest at that event given those rules but you cannot claim to be the fastest in the world as other people in the world are restricted by different rules.

 

 

Edit: It would seem there may be a gap in the market here, a world class of street drag would be ideal.

Again Scott and im only trying to show how confusing it is, I never mentioned UFC, you did, I said cage fighting !!! do you see where im going, you immediatly think UFC, you may also think a Supra with a big block chevy and street Lenco is a Supra........ imo it aint and hence this discussinon of fastest supra/drag car/street car will always have a diff opinion and never ever be settled.
