Thanks

Thanks, I thought it was in the 13's.

Every TVR so far is in the 12's, didn't realise these old things went so quick.

New shape RS6 just hit 11.1 - nice car

How did you get on ?

Who me....I didn't go up the strip as I was too busy eating chip butties and watching the cars

Fastest road car was an 1100 BHP GTR @ 9 secs dead and 155 mph
Fastest road bike was a Kawasaki @ 9.9 and 142 mph

Surprise of the day was an original Fiat 500 that looked reasonably stock (from the front anyway) that ran a 13.1 sec and a moped which managed 87 mph.

Others - An M4 that was almost a sec quicker than an M3 (low 12's)

A Datsun 240Z pulling mid 12's (some of you younger readers won't even know what a Datsun is...lol)

With the advance of dual clutch transmissions, cars are getting quicker now, with A class Mercedes, Audi A3's, Seats and Golfs putting in very respectacle times, The TVR's manual gear changes seemed to take ages by comparison although their overall times were pretty good.

Whackiest vehicle of the day was a jet powered mobility scooter, although it didn't run as the owner had only just finished building it, and my favourite car was the RS6
