JamieP Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 Do you mean that up to now the Truth was not out? So much about the 'stock' GTO, it now turns out it was stripped to bare metal. Anything else you forgot to mention? to be fair he never said it was a stock gto.......that was my mistake..last time i saw it it was stock:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 he also said the clutch was stock.... then thats changed too!

Rich Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I mentioned the go kart as he had only 90bhp he managed a fast quater with low terminal......now whats that mean? Simply he was fast off the line. I agree GTOs can be quick off the line once stripped out,but 0.8 60ft you d need more power to get there that quick never mind grip.

Jake Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Right, that's enough chat. Are we going to get to see these other timing slips which all have sub-1 second 60 foot times or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 4 seconds 0-60 is nowhere near consistent with a 0.8 60ft time tho Jim! 1.8 maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I think that there are enough Forum members around the UK that Jim can find one available nearby. That would move us from 'woulda coulda shoulda' territory into reality for a change. What do you think Jim, is it doable or will we keep chasing our tail here?

If you don't post this proof of yours in the next few posts we'll all know you're a liar. we should get jim to line up his car against the former UK record holder for 60 ft times and see how he goes on.

JohnA Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Jim, if you think that you can change the subject again and talk 'Santa Pod Officials' it won't work my friend. Stop wasting your last 'free' posts and do the right thing. Come clean. Do it mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 surely youd also have to run smaller rims to get a good time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmeshowyou Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 right. I'm bored of this now. Can someone verify my (very approximate) maths please... 60ft = 0.0099 miles 0.858seconds (jims time) = 0.0002hours To cover that distance at a constant velocity you'd have to be travelling at 49.5mph. Assuming linear acceleration (we know this was done from a standing start) this would mean at the 60ft point you were doing 99mph jim. Strange that you only see 4 seconds 0-60 on the g-tech and even stranger that for the remainder of the 1/4 mile you only accelerated by a further 5 miles per hour. Did you take your foot off and maintain a constant speed? I would have thought that was pretty easy to verify on this dvd we're all supposed to buy. Are you sure the timing gear can't be at fault?

letmeshowyou Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 no, you havent tho. with your foor to the floor it takes nearly a quarter mile to get from 99mph to 104mph. What use is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 All i am saying is the slip is not doctord in any way, so argue this with SANTA POD on 01234782828 ask them about it dont abuse me as i never posted my slip in here. We've NEVER SAID the slip was doctored....we've said it's wrong and that's that. Something caused the timing beams too trigger early. End of.
