Darren, Any idea on the M6 speed?...As discussed the limiter kicked in about 100m from the barriers on the right..so a little boring but...Lost interest by the time i reached the beams!!...however did keep my foot in a couple of times so would be interested to see the final results... Reckon there should be a trophy for best ever VMAX smoking start.....and the winner is... I thank you

Actually I think Trackdemon gets that in his Mini at the last one although the acceleration left a bit to be desired

That M6 start gets my vote for prettiest arse waggle down the runway with the obvious exception of the young lady holding the sound meter!!

Smoke wise the black Lambo had a v smokey one but allot of it was clutch smoke I think comming up through the rear central vents... looked v expensive!!!

Bah.....

I'm talking smoking skid marks .....50 m long !...

Steve's effort looked more like the burger van had set on fire!

Anyway he's a southerner so it doesn't count....i meant the Sheffield V MAX smoking start trophy!

[550Hep]

LOL a Lambo burger van!!! There's a thought maybe find an old LM2002 and see if you can get a hot plate in the back!! LOL

As for the Sheffield massive!! Wey HEY!!!

[nastywej]

Murci melting a clutch....not an nice site.....

A Brave chap...much better to gun it in second gear from a rolling start...unless you have money to burn ....just like your clutch.

I felt free...!!!.....Never been able to rip it off the line in the Gallardo...2 painfull @ the next service etc!

Oh, bollox.

Burriana has a lot to answer for.

I've started looking at 911's now.

Crap.

Sorry Ben I can't remember the speed of the M6, although I do remember it hitting the limiter well before the laser trap.

I remember the E60 M5 two events ago hit a limit of 164mph before going through the trap. I would expect the M6 to be similar with the same running gear.

161, 161, 162, 161, 162

Nothing like consistency, although I thought I saw a 164 on the sheet of paper?

[trackdemon]

Joust, next time please make sure you physically drag me into the pax seat of the M400 - I quite fancy finding out what my lungs feel like at 1.4 x normal weight

Pretty bloody good by all counts, Steve.

My dad has the lungs of an 80 year old now!

Will do - I'm always amazed at the lack of people bugging me for a ride - I don't bite you know
