After speaking to Mike at Hever Caste yesterday, and having a go revving Jessica, I'm definitely getting my clutch and flywheel done when the factory clutch needs replacement.
The exhaust and cats is tempting too, but my car spending for this year is already getting a bit silly

Good Choice. Pehaps the start of a bigger project The exhaust and cats is tempting too, but my car spending for this year is already getting a bit silly

As you know, I make several tests to measure my car to know its performance perfectly. I am announcing the numbers are still tests that I myself and not numbers announced by the manufacturer or Mike.
For a scale reference, I took the number 52 of Evo, which compares several cars having made themselves the tests (0-100km / h, ...). I know that some figures are not the same in other magazines, but it has the advantage of having the lowest figures, so the best performance -> always motivating for my preparation.
Vehicles competing are:
The Mercedes SLS AMG, Porsche 997 Turbo S, Audi R8 V10, V12 and Vantage the Ferrari 599 Fiorano HGTE.
The goal is to see where my car and I had a lot of surprises. I would supplement the figures As my ......... measures precisely. The primary goal is to be as much, if not more powerful than the V12.
In green, the best result and in red the worse.
We note that my V8V BR is better than the V12 V 0-100 km / h, but less good when t / min. are low. Mike result is even better, as it got a 4.1, is very close to the R8 V10. But the o-100 km/h is very difficult for me, i have only a 4.4 sec. with the traction control.
By cons, what surprised me most is the force times t / min. high in the 120-140 km / h, whatever the gear engaged (3rd and 4th), the acceleration is even (much) better than a 997 Turbo S. When I saw the figure, I thought I was wrong speed, but after redo actions, these figures are confirmed.
So we can say that this preparation is made for t / min. high. I am studying (and MIke also) a change that would save low-end torque to fill this "hole" visible on the power curve of Mike.

Hi Vince,
I've got that issue of Evo and its No. 146 from Aug 2010. The 911 Turbo S does 60-80mph in 3rd in 1.8s and 70-90mph in 1.9s versus V12V on 2.4s and 2.4s. Not sure where you get your km/h data from as all data is in mph. How about testing 60-100mph in 3rd gear which should give you a good spread of the rev band. My old 911 GT2 used to do it in 4s as a reference point. The V12V in the test did it in 4.3secs and the Turbo S in 3.9s.

I have updated with scans of EVO Magazine. This is the French version of EVO, with the speed in km / h
But ok, i tried 60-100mph soon!

Vince, which V8V have you used in the comparison? 4.3 or 4.7?
There several ways to look at these numbers, one is to recognise how the V12V has become slow against these newer rivals, another is to recognise that you have a very, very fast car there. But the view I take is that BR has made a massive difference to your original and it must be fabulous to drive now. Mine goes in next week, getting very excited now

yes, it is true, I should have clarified. V8 V is 4.3.
Bravo for the transformation in BR. You see, Mike and Adrian are great guys!
Have fun!
