jevansio Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Just not enough time left for me to complete my project (still need brakes & full suspension setup), I would love to take mine down just to get some official all round times to see if the car has fulfilled its purpose, next year is much more doable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sherwood Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Yes it's my real name the entry went in some weeks ago in Adam Sherwoods name as he will be driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 There must be some fast cars on here as I'm forever seeing threads about beating Lambos, Ferraris etc etc so those Supes are still going to put in a respectable performance. So what gives? Amen to that, with effing bells on. Perhaps the spirited driving chronicals should be retitled "Billy Bullshitters" or "Fast Lane Fairytales".

Maybe you should be asking the other question as to why all these 'supercars' dont attend this event - there have only been a couple of GT2 porkas over the years from the 'presitge' brands and as far as I can recall they were plaugued with issues.

Robbie Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Ok I'm up for this. I spoke to Gaz At pod on sunday and he's convinced me to come. All I need now is a place to stay the night before, some cams for my other engine, a quick tune and something that reads and writes to .xls files so I can enter!

Because hardly any of the owners even know about TOTB? Believe it or not outside the jap/max power culture the event is unheard of, however you will see plenty of Ferraris, Porsches & Lambos at Vmax- an event that gets a poor showing from jap marques.

Terminal Velocity was another event that seemed to attract a different group of cars, a few tuned Japanese cars but lots of Porsches, TVRs, Vipers, Ferraris, Mercs and so on... http://www.megaboost.co.uk/supra/mine/tv2005/ Is there any talk of TOTB on Pistonheads?

Believe it or not outside the jap/max power culture the event is unheard of, however you will see plenty of Ferraris, Porsches & Lambos at Vmax- an event that gets a poor showing from jap marques. Max power culture? Is that why you see GT2s, Ultimas and Vipers turning up to it? There were Ferraris in the car park at the event I went to see, back in 2003, and its been on TV numerous times, so I dont buy the ignorance argument at all. Vmax.. drive fast in a straight line for a couple of miles.. whoop de do. Sounds like an event just designed for supercar owners to have fun in their cars without breaking them. IMHO track days are where you get the best mix of normal stuff and special stuff and with people actually driving them as intended (mostly).

Gazboy Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Is there any talk of TOTB on Pistonheads? Virtually nothing mate. A couple of Vipers and a Porsche 928 that is unlikely to make the noise cut.

IMHO track days are where you get the best mix of normal stuff and special stuff and with people actually driving them as intended (mostly). Vmax was conceived as just that- somewhere you could legaly and safely rag the tits off your car with 39 mates, some timing gear and a rat burger van, with a 1/3 mile standing start then a 1.6 mile rolling drag- so not massively different from the 1/4 and top speed event at TOTB except we don't time the standing start bit as no one really gives a hoot. My snipe was at this forums SC forum - you don't see the Porsche forum claiming to slay something much faster- well you get the odd idiot who claims her Chim 450 beat the shit out of a SL65AMG but that's about it. Anyway, about that BPU slaying a Veyron... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sherwood Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 We are getting the car ready for the 8th of July top speed day. I hope they run the one mile distance as TOTB it will be a good test day if it is dry. Did a static test on the car it made 112db so need to make a baffle to reduce it to 103.
