Hi Zero we were on Cup 2s on a wet day and trying to manage wheel spin for much of the day. I think she'll do 6.5 secs to 6.7 secs on a nice cool day. From the 202 trap speed and with the cars that were there (and knowing what sort of power they have) personally I think we're maybe even running nearer 700 bhp. Not all the 700+ bhp cars could have had a bad day. Full results below and the Agrera and a tuned Noble Carbon edition with 700bhp should have trounced us with 1000bhp and 700bhp through the traps. There was a 700bhp GT2 FS owner there and having run against us he also feels we may well have closer to 700 bhp too. Not bad for a car with GT2 hybrids and a few bits and pieces without an engine build!

This gives you an idea of power to weight of Agrera and Noble http://fastestlaps.com/cars/koenigsegg_agera_s.htm...

Here's link to full results on the day and they also make interesting reading

Thx... some interesting results there... how was an Aventador faster than the 918's?!!

Good to see the big bug on top - what a machine !

I don't believe it was personally. The black 918 saw 215 mph on speedo! The white 918 wasn't being driven brilliantly.

997 9e XX should have defeated the big bug lol. Owner was struggling for traction in every gear lol and new to the power kit which is circa 1350hp

If you have a look at the leaderboard on VMAX site a similar 996 9e XX holds the all time record at 229mph! That cars been 250mph this year and 9e feel its good for 260-275 mph which is just ridiculous. Bug was king on the day though!

When you look at what your car cost imran to get to that level its a performance bargain tbh. Its not like its an outright drag special either, its a beautiful everyday driver. Perfect compromise for me as you could park it anywhere and aren't scared to use it. A lambo or a Ferrari would be ace but you'd constantly worry about town driving and leaving it anywhere.
The 911 gave me the impression that pound for pound it was the best value car there as an all rounder.
Perfect garage :
Tuned 911 turbo for daily driver
La Ferrari for high days :-)

haha I'm more easily pleased. Have a hankering for a manual F430 Coupe. Shapes really grown on me. Prefer the 360 but think F430 will be far cheaper to run! Love the 458 too but not sure about auto transmission.

Can you not estimate from the data Toby?

Nice result IMI. Well done. What fuel were you running?

Here's a MAHA.

I ran early runs on normal V power but later I used 20% MS109 mixture. The car runs better on a blend of the good stuff when running multiple runs all day and avoids detonation. I'm going to use 50% mixture next time as Ken kindly gave 10 litres of the 20 litres he had. It was mixed with 54 litres of Vpower. Will call you later Nick been baby sitting all day

What boost did it run out of interest Imran?impressive gfor stock internals. I could see me getting a very long ban with that as a road car.

In normal mode for road driving she's only running 1.1bar. In sport mode she runs 1.3 bar which is still nothing if you consider a GT2 RS which has v.similar turbos runs something like 1.6 bar from memory. Do not want to blow the engine up though lol. Its a beautifully judged tune.

I have no speeding points unbelievably in 8 years of owning her

After going to an event like VMAX do not feel the need to open her up properly! Fastest I've been in the car stock was 193 mph. Fastest I'd been after the tune pre VMAX was 179mph up to VMAX!

Any of you guys interested in some drone-shot footage from the day?

Have you got all the runs from air? How much of the run does it cover?

I was only v.slightly slower two up at 201.7mph

Wow! And still alive to tell the tale !!! What's it like hanging on for 200 mph ?

I've been at a GPS verified 159mph in my old Impreza, quite frightening tbh Over 200 must be insane!

TX.

Felt no more frightening than doing 70 mph on the motorway and it was a wet & windy day. Unbelievable how stable she is at high speed. Anyone who's passed their test would have managed 200 + out of her without breaking sweat.

Hi Chris. It was a last minute thing and took another pal. of course you're welcome anytime.

[IMIA]

Heres the other 9e 28 against a 650S, SLR 722 and 991 turbo S with 650hp - give you an idea of how quick this kit is - I'm guessing I may be have leak some where with the symptoms I'm currently suffering

Did you run the 120 mixed?

Nope 100%.

[IMIA]

^ the other 9e 28 is the same car but has recently had cats removed hence is running a slightly different map which allows her to spool up turbos a bit quicker. The other 9e 28 is also a manual. The stalling etc of my car and being 5 mph down to VMAX a few months ago may perhaps be related to the issues I'm having - or may be driver related i.e. Oz is quicker - but my cars unfortunately going to have to be flatbed to 9e as PSM / ABS error messages and not staring have not been solved. Oz may have just driven his car better on the day but on the second run I led for over half a mile when in 5th gear he pulled away from me. First race I mis shifted twice. Having said this without the cats his car should defo be a bit faster.

[IMIA]

Thanks Chris. I doubt it's serious. Just an air leak, fouled plugs, coil pack or faulty maf. Could be anyone of those. I should have sent the car for a pre check to 9e before VMAX - Ken kindly offered to upgrade the map etc so I can benefit from the revised Map of the other 9e 28 but just didn't have the free time. Doubt it's fuel related as giving the car even better fuel shouldn't effect her. Will just have to run around in the air cooled whilst she's being fixed!

Heres a really good vid the Audi V10 makes. He races me at 10.30

9e 28 recovered to 9e today. Strict instructions not send back to me unless much faster. Was v.impressed with low loader. Fingers crossed nothing serious - shouldn't be as her engine is virtually new.

Good luck and hope it's a simple fix.

[IMIA]

Heard back from 9e. They say no fault codes so its a matter of working through the basics. Engines fine thank God according to Ken!

[IMIA]

So the 120 Octane VP Extreme fuel fouled the spark plugs up!

How does that work ?

no idea Toby - will ask Ken when I pick her up but he's tinkering with wherefore a few weeks. Thinks he might be able to get up to 15% more power by refining the tune and making more changes to intake system so he can have her as long as he likes

Not sure if extreme is the same but normal VP import contains MTBE which cannot be used with ID injectors.

Just in case you have ID injectors fitted.

Whats MTBE? I have stock injectors I think

Interesting I'll ask the supplier. I'm swapping the cans I have left out for MS109. Its eye wateringly expensive and I bought the stuff thinking I would obliterate my twin with it. Wacky races! Another dastardly plan in ruins lol!
