always a bed at mine if you need it for the night before (james can sleep on the floor )

althouth the saturday night is camping, we arrived a bit late on the saturday this year (4pm ish) so by the time we had set up the tents the track had closed. Whilst its great competing in the atmosphere of all the crowds on the sunday, it doesnt help that more precise clutch control compared to an empty track on the saturday. Next year I want to get there by, say, 11am - midday saturday, set up the tent and get racing

According to the website mentioned in the 2nd posting on this thread, Autocar and Evo average reckon:

S2 ELISE 111R 0-60=5.1 1/4 MILE=14.6
S2 ELISE 111 & 111S 0-60=5.0 1/4 MILE=14.2
S1 ELISE 0-60=5.7 1/4 MILE=14.4


I wouldv'e expected the 111R to be quicker than a 111S and certainly not to lose out over a 1/4 mile. Fishes - we need you there in July, all in the name of scienec you understand! I'm up for the arrive on Saturday and do the driving then as there is a lot to see on the Sunday and we can laugh at DustyC's hangover and headgear properly!

BTW - Shnozz and Cuzza - had the sports exhaust fitted, sounds lovely


Excellent Is it much louder or just nicer? What's it like with all those revs?

Is claire out too then?
Perhaps my early suggested bar is not appropriate!
If she is out and driving then perhaps coming my way is a good idea. I'll call you, its easier!

As for Thorney Island and drag racing I'll post up all the event detials nearer the time. I posted them in several forums this year and there wasnt much of a response from PH. Hants TVRCC turned up though. Hopefully it will be better this year.

And regardless what times you get, you'll never beat me for having the biggest hangover!

The elise is well up there anyway : )

Performance Statistics: 0-60 mph



It's not in the list (either of them ) - the Esprit is in there though:

I thought the 111R was supposed to be 0-60 in 4.9 according to Lotus ?

0 - 60 is pub talk

same as 1/4 mile times published by manufacturers. Race your car on the track and this is more evident that ever. 0 - 100 on an elise is poor when compared to any TVR. But in the real world, its a different kettle of fish. Cuzza and I have been out and about several times and no sooner as I have reeled him in on the straight, he has left me for dead on the tighter bends.

Even when drag racing the stats are pub talk. I was way off the figures quoted for the TVR. Now it could be that I am a crap driver, but it also could be the fact that I wasnt running 3 cubic inches of fuel to just get me to the finish, I way more than a guinea pig, I didnt have tyres warmed by hot blankets priorto the run, I didnt have a start line made of bubble gum to get traction and I actually used the clutch to change gear.

Since playing around on these sort of events its come home that the stats mean nothing. Get your car to the pod, or come down thorney island next year and give it a bash, you'll get the honest truth and have a scream at the same time

Addendum:

The Metro 6r4 does it in 1.9 seconds. They used XJ220 detuned 6r4 engine.

www.carclassic.com/html/DM27.htm

does not quite look the part though

I wonder how a 111R would do on the track verus a bog standard Boxter, EV8, Subaru i.e the sort of cars you meet on the street.

This thread originally started because i couldn't understand how a 4 litre Chimera with 235BHp as standard and apparantly 120 extra BHP when the Nos button's hit was posting 13.5 seconds. We're talking 335BHP in theory and 1000 kg's ish in weight?

My Elise is 800 kg's ish in weight and only 148BHP.

Based on this, the Chimera weights 200 kg's more roughly than Elise but has over twice the power.


I already knew my car was supposed to do just over 14 seconds according to Lotus for the 1/4 mile.
Now, I realise the two cars are different weights and i suppose it's all about power to weight ratio, traction and a lack of mechanical sympathy i guess and (as has been mentioined) reaction times.


I know the Elise kicks arse on corners and the TVR catches on the straights, in day to day stuff. This was never in despute. Just cant get my head round this 1/4 mile stuff.

I will, 100% be doing the next 'Run what ya brung' event i can. I 'm gonna have a lay down now......... in a dark room........I'll be back later........


13.7 sceonds.....Standard 1.8 Elise.....Thats bloody good!

Mid engined helps for better launches perhaps?

Easier to drive and control to get better starts?
A lot of it is down to the persons ability.

Also perhaps its just to easy to spin the wheels up in the TVR. Perhaps too much power is a bad thing for the launch in this case.

dave, tis only friendly banter, not arguing with you.

A 4 litre chim will not be putting out the 240 suggested by the factory. Its probably closer to 210 and thats at the flywheel.

However, thats all pretty irrelevant anyway. You have 1/4 of a mile. Traction is your enemy or your hero, depending on how you view it. Your elises are high revving small capacity engines. They have little in the way of torque. The TVRs are the opposite. Big CCs but not much of an advantage in terms of genuine bhp.

Stick that onto a slippy runway and it means a TVR will be struggling to get traction off the line. In the meanwhile, a revvy lightweight elise is off and has done the first 60 feet. Over a mile, on a straight, the TVR would slaughter the Elise. But in a 1/4 of a mile its a different story. Nos is not going to help. If anything, you engage Nos at the wrong point and you are going to get even more power to spin the wheels and go no where...

oh, and cuzzas time was 14.7, not 13...

I would like to try and get in the 13's as that is the pub talk figures. Cuzza was not too far off the official times at all, which suggests he picked it up far better than I did.
