VMAX VII Speeds are here!!!

[s3am]

Hi Craig,

Splitting hairs I know, but I saw 172 on the boards. Though at the time the ever optimistic speedo read 183 -I wish!

Car now feels better than ever, after a bit of 'Italian' tuning.

Great to meet a few more guys, and put some faces to monikers; AdamT, Daz, Shady (nice to see you today as well), as well as to see some more familiar ones.

I see 5 Ferraris on the Top Speed list, just none made it to the top ten.

Don't moan to us 'cos the piggies beat the donkeys...

With regards the GT3, didn't think they could be tuned a huge amount more. DMS say only another 20 bhp.

Standard GT3 MkI: 360 bhp
Standard GT3 MkII: 380 bhp
Standard GT3 RS: 381 bhp

And, as examples:

Manthey Tuned GT3 Mk1: 395 bhp (extra 35)
Manthey Tuned GT3 MkII: 410 bhp (extra 30)

I also know of, as I said, a 450 bhp GT3 MkII - that's an extra 70 bhp.

Craig, There are a couple of results that have been mentioned that look unusual. As Martyn said, I think his 181mph looks high, I would be amazed if a 993 bodied car with 450bhp would have beaten a 996TT with 100bhp more (the DMS car). Also as Adam said I don't think the Red RTurbo got into the 190's. The CTR is much faster than the RTurbo, so I doubt there's only 3mph in it. Guy

Rob DMS best on the board reading for the day was 184mph.

IIRC DeR hit 177.

I was in with DeR when 177 flashed up (the Road Angel said 175, but my hand was shaking at the time, trying to keep hold of the damn thing!)

[johnny senna]

I don't think my car hit 165 mph. The fastest I saw on the boards was 158 mph. Also Bod911's car didn't go as fast as shown on the table, I can't remember exactly what he did, so I will find out.

[johnny senna]

Bod911 did 169 mph.

[rods]

Seems like they were getting there 911's mixed up....

Fastest I saw on the boards was 157mph - not bad for 3.0 N/A rice rocket! I think the MX5T pulled 134mph when I passengered in it...

Yes I'd confirm 134 TD, though in the morning I'm sure I was hitting 136mph.

Hmm MX5T, think I like that designation Think I have some tuning to do and I need to turn up the boost.

Nah nah nah nah nah

so did you see 145 ??

Need to have a chat as well oggsie me boy !!

[craigw]

It's always the same chaps, a few results are off because the timing guys have a tough time seeing the numbers at these massive speeds,particularly when we have a few cars which look similar, will have all amended when we get chance, thanks for your patience.

Craig, if you give a list of what ones to be amended I'll do it, I don't want to step on any toes suggesting people went slower than they actually did!

Leean was waiting for those results.

Hope she's not too disappointed to come second, a valiant effort though. Well done to Lol, hats off.

Sam

oh and ps she actually got 168.

[sdewey]

Muncher

I'm not definite about that 136 mph pass which is why I was asking for verifcation, so I'm quite happy to split last place with you.

I probably didn't get anything recorded as my car wasn't given a number.
