Muffleman Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I've done a search but not seen anything. Very impressed to see the Envy car hit 9.875 today (THINK it was 9.875 from memory, but if I'm wrong I'm sure I will be corrected) The pro game really seems to have moved on this year with 8 second passes now being regular. However, the envy car is still a manual and still full weight. Top job fellas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Is it really full weight? I thought they were running loads of carbon products... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted October 7, 2007 Author Share Posted October 7, 2007 By full weight I mean not stripped, still has full interior, stereo etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Thanks guys, it really was a great run today, we got into the semis, but didn't win against a tough lineup. Our car is full weight and then some, the only 2 weight reduction products we have on the car is the carbon bonnet and tailgate, but the car is still above factory weight for a UK specified vehicle thanks to the TRD wide kit and roll cage. I'll post up a vid soon. Nice to see a lot of you today Its feels good to prove the car is capable of 9 as we've always said it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Our car is full weight and then some I always wonder why this is. I presume it doesn't get used for trips to the supermarket or a day out to the seaside, it gets trailered to events and it's a drag car that represents your business - why not strip it?

Of course it does. Kevin drives it from his house to work in the summer and it goes out for drives in the country all the time. He drove it 500 miles on Thursday to Brum and back. Although it excels at straight lines, it can do other things and its a street car. Customers don't want drag cars built, they want fast street cars so thats why we don't strip it. Its a demo car to show that fast cars dont have to look like a shell! Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkirby Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Well done guys, i was going to pop along to say well done but you all looked busy so i thought i wouldnt pester you Must be tempted now to strip it for a few months and try to get the time a bit lower Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Was a great run, crowd loved it when you got into the 9's, only bad bit of news now guys is you have to get all your flyers re-printed!! I did not understand the 10 second rule though? does it apply to all classes outside the pro class? So by running faster than a 10 you disqualify yourself? One of the FWD cars did it as well and that’s what the commentator was doing a poor job of explaining, something about 10 secs and faster has to be in the pro class.

T2 MSW Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Is there different requirements for the Pro class? is it something as simple as street dont require a roll cage or something stupid like that? Obviously I know mots of the street class have cages in, just wondering where such a stupid rule comes from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
