Apologies if a repost, but this is currently running 500bhp through 4wd.

Anymore details or pics looks a little wider than standard?

Arches look fairly standard to me. Will have a look at my Corsa C when I get home.

By 1998 the Impreza had already won a world rally title and was being campaigned by one of the most famous British Motorsport personalties to come out of the 90s. I think in actual fact probably everyone would have known what it was.


Anyway, my contribution, my current car crush, w220 S600.



You see an old, bus sized Merc. You'd expect it to be a V6, or at a push a V8 with a modest 300BHP or so. What you probably would not be expecting a Twin Turbo charged V12 with 600bhp/700lbft (albeit with extensive mods like a remap and... well, that's it) allowing it to fly down the 1/4 mile in 11 seconds or so and would muller most cars this side of a Veyron from a roll. And it looks like a 2 grand 320. I think they're fantastic!

11's? Really? Where's the proof.

http://www.dragtimes.com/results.php?carmodel=497&op1=%3E%3D&data1=&search2=et&op2=%3C%3D&data2=&days=10000000&carmake=30&name=Search+DragTimes

Slowest cars on there are listed at around 12 flat with a tune, and as low as 11.5 on drag radials + tune.

To be honest, its a little difficult to find much info on S600s specifically in terms of tuning, far more info is out there on the CL600 & SL600s, but they have the same Engine, Gearbox suspension design, etc, and all weigh as much as a small Planet so its reasonable to think anything you see a CL/SL do, the S can do in a tenth or two more, and it isn't unknown for CL600s to run mid 10s, but that involves a bit more work than taking it to a guy with a laptop and pay him ~£500 but there is potential.

That is just ace!

I've posted this one of mine in various other sleeper threads before, but i'm happy to post it again.

It's borderline Q car rather than sleeper, but it still has the desired effect on the road.

Nice boring green Golf



Plus this



Gives just over 300bhp and the potential for this

[exiged]

I remember being left behind some by a bike engined smart car a few years back.

I often carry ladders on my 330d, and with it being the estate i think people expect it to be slow when in actual fact its pretty god dam nippy.

[sim16v]

Everyone knows the 330d is the fastest thing out there, even with ladders on!

Jesus, what on earth would an old Sierra need to drop a Cerbera ! don't Cerberas do 0-100 in like 8 seconds, weigh not much more than a tonne and have 400 plus bhp, even most mega tuned Cosworths would struggle with one.

We need to know more about this Sierra, it is the car Equivalent of feral Big Cats roaming Bodmin Moor or similar.

Yup from the factory (which mine is not) 0-100MPH in 8 seconds 0-60 in 3.8 and good for 200MPH and eaten alive by a Sierra. Have asked numerous people in "car circles" in my area if they have seen it or know of it. A couple have seen it and got wasted by it so it is local but I have no idea who owns it or what the hell they have done to it. Whoever did it has my deepest respect.

I dont think any standard Cerb will do 0-100 in 8 seconds....many of them will be way slower than that.

4.5 Cerb quotes 0-100mph in 8.3 seconds.

An old Friend had a Corsa with a 2.0 engine from an Astra GSI, badged as a 1.0 12v, with steel wheels.

Not in the same league as most mentioned, but caught a few people out

The Tigra used to hold the FWD record for santa pod. It may still do, i'm not sure.

He should get it 'mapped and REALLY surprise her!

Sorry if it's a repost but I remember stumbling upon this online when I had my lupo gti. Wheels and brakes are a bit of a give away but if you pulled up behind it at a set of traffic lights you might wonder....

Might have posted this before, but 1160hp twin supercharged LS2 mechanicals warrants a repeat appearance, even if the rear wheels are a bit beefy

I want that so badly
