The gauntlet has been thrown down; to beat the factories 9.9
Discussion
Oh yeh, I forgot to mention, whilst at the factory for the open day earlier this month, I bet Richard (for the moment, an undisclosed sum of money) that my GTW would better the factories 9.9 second quarter mile time and we shook hands on it. The run is a way off at the moment but I intend to visit Santa Pod early March. Not the best test for the GTW but a start and a bit of fun to boot. My word is my bond and I will be paying up if I lose (for example, should a wheel fall off or I am stopped in my tracks by a mother pushing a pram across the track ) but rest assured, it aint gonna happen! LET THE ANTICIPATION COMMENCE!
You know me pee, easy come, easy go and now that Phil has kindly educated me in the ways and wherefores of the imperial measurement system, I am prepared to take on any Ultima at the 440 YRDS!
G!, where the devil have you been man, I was worried that maybe you had consumed one lettuce leaf too many and did not have the strength as a result to switch on your PC.
Phil, thanks for your kind offer and as of now I will be referring to you as BBC, in honour of your forthcoming video recording prowess.
Paul.B, at last, I have a purpose in life! I will have to speak to G and get into shape.

Hey Wanye...What makes you thinking you could beat the 720 hp Record Car from Ultimasports ? Do you have 4 WD ?
Why is it GTW instead of GTR ? Is that a different body/chassis or why the "W" ?
Anyway I cross my fingers a second time for you to beat Richard....If your car crosses the finish line previous to your stomach and brain, you should have chance to win :--:

The stomach I am working on, the brain on the other hand, should be no problem - I don't have one!
The GTW is called such because it is mine and the only difference between it and the GTR is every mechanical part of the car has been liberally doused with my own blood, sweat and tears.
With regards to my measly wee 650bhp compared to the mighty 720bhp of the factory record holder (for now in any case), I can only hope to be a little more polished behind the wheel than Richard or perhaps have slightly less of a head wind on the day to stand a chance but I am an optimist, and feel that the GTW will prevail.

Being a Doc, you should know what a pink is and the fact that because I am a male of the species, I don't have one!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN OH DEAR, OH DEAR Pi5ton, I am counting on you (maybe not so much 'you' but more what you have spawn and the promise behind it!), is there something you have not told me?

There is only one chance there let alone two and even if there were, they would both be a resounding NO!
p15ston, there are no smileys there so I don't know how to take that but if you mean I am a load of talk and therefor cheap, you are damn right, but at least you guys can be sure you are getting good value.
