Looking at the data logging curves, you've got to be thinking that faster onto the straight going to be better. I know how fast I can get round that top bend, but that's academic as above 150mph Nobles are bricks...

Got another 5-7mph I think. Also folded his wing mirrors in...and neatly dragged the glass out when the air got behind it... oops.

There is one Noble around that'd get the top speed (for a Noble that is). I here it's hit the limiter in 6th not that long ago. That's got to be high 170's.

Nope. AdrianW. Even Trevor Jasper from Roush who did all the M400 mappings says it's mind bendingly quick.

Now, let me see, Veyron 1000bhp @ 1900kilos, SL 600 1950kilos Hummmmmm Mr KLeemann 1070bhp needed... bigger gearbox,stronger diff, half shafts,Bolder nerves required.Oh and a pair of racing shoes.

At this point no, because it works, use a undertray which was standard on later cars. Will use a RS500 Splitter next run to help stop air going under the car & also lower the car as its standard height at the mo.
I think we are nearly flat out anyway 212 is my guess at Flat out in 1.5miles have done 210 so far. Gearing will allow 216.4 on the limiter but dont think we can pull that. However 210 was considered out of reach a year ago so who knows.
Have received my VMax entry offer so hope to do that early next year, However have been asked to go to Dubai to represent the UK so cant plan much at the mo.

NO !!
have a gentlemans agreement with the Reyland Cossie that we will keep it to 1.5 miles so a comparison can be made.
