PistonHeads needs you.. and your car!
Discussion
We have some bikes coming, sorted by Autocar.
Now, stevieturbo. We need to know more about this car and I entirely agree this should be there to represent PH. Is there a build thread or any more info about the car?
Oh, an no conspiracy on the supercar heavy wishlist. We have a wide range of stuff coming but as you'll probably know supercar manufacturers don't tend to be too keen on supplying press cars when there's something competitive going on. Bizarrely all we've spoken to have said 'fine if it's an owner in their car though...' hence the appeal for exactly that.
Anyone with a LaFerrari out there?!
Cheers,
Dan

Sounds like a great idea but hopefully there will be a wide range of cars and not just supercars.
Saying that supercars don't actually tend to do that well in drag races anyway, sure with the development of auto\DCT style boxes they get impressive 0-60 times but quarter mile times are always pretty poor considering the power most put out (and how much they cost).
I've seen 6 figure supercars regularly shown up by £15k Supra's which have just had a big turbo strapped on.
Hopefully there'll be some tuned cars to show the supercars how it's really done.

He runs a turbo LS motor in what looks visually like a stock Cortina, but I think he traps close to 150mph in the 1/4 mile.I'll send him a PM and let him know about this thread.

If this is really "Piston"Heads and not just a supercar site, then how about inviting stevieturbo?

Of all the cars on PH, his certainly deserves to part of this.
I wonder if xpuffin has his Monaro back on the road yet. Not sure what it was capable of in the 0-60, but killed most supercars at VMax http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/profile.asp?h=0...

Shall I ask my mate whether he wants to get this out for a run?

Or a bit too extreme for this event?
Possibly a bit short notice for a Thurs/Fri event though.

It's geared for the mile and any Monaro is generally crap off the line, so it wouldn't have a good showing initially I'd imagine. Once it got going on the other hand... 300bhp/ton said:
