Go on!! I'll stand you quarter if you want.

That's quite a long list of "invited" cars.

I'd assume there will be more than 1 Cerbera doing the honours, can't see 1 staying running long enough to get through the entire list

I am happy to have a go but reading through the posts I think they are more interested in 'factory standard' cars rather than something like mine.

Fair enough. Mine is about as std as you can get (i guess they don't count interior trim as a mod do they???!!

I'll have a go. Would be nice to get a few std 640 or 720s along.

^ Do you know of any then?
Let me know if you are going for sure and I will be your wing man ( that is if you want me to be? ).

[splatspeed]

toy with them then destroy them

[dilley]

I quite like the idea of coming along,even if only spectating

not too far from me neither.

Oh yes.

We need a couple of cars. Bluesatin's is std isn't it? Looks the same as mine - would be an excellent advert for the brand to have the two of us flying dowm a mile!!

Pete what speed do you reckon you can up to in a mile ?

[steve_d]

I've had an email invite to this has anyone else?

I think their definition of non standard was turbo or supercharged.

So did I (forced induction if boost standard), and there is definitely a non standard Porsche turbo on that list anyway - so would assume that Ultimas very welcome

Well I did 124 in a 1/4 so thats....erm......at least...496mph in a mile.

I should think 185-190mph would be on the cards for me.

If that is the case, I would love to have a go!
If the GTW doesn't hit the magic double T, even in that distance, I will eat somebodies hat! ( Only if it is made out of cheese and pickle enveloped between two slices of crusty bread )

[itsallyellow]

post a reply in the cerb forum. Would be great to have some ultima's there.

Saw your car on Sunday, I should have said hello!

Don't want to kill any of the excitement for the day but I've tinkered with a simulation program Cartest 2000 which is very detailed
(www.cartestsoftware.com/cartest2000/index.html)

Have a guestimate of the GTR720 in there and with 0.36 drag coeff (guess) get 5.63 secs from 0 to 100mph which seems reasonably accurate
Could create a GTW650 in the software (would need bhp/revs and torque/revs and confirmation of ratios), but then am sure it would be more fun to just wait until the day itself

[bluesatin]

looking into it

[ultimad]

Tempting.
