Not scientific at all. Real world testing in actual real world conditions is far more representative than manufacturers figures in ideal and unlikely conditions.

Those ARE real world tests from magazines!!!! Read more closely. They just give manufacturers figures for reference.

But for traffic light GPs?

Yaris owner just needs to blast to 30 or 40 from the lights and then nonchalantly stop racing to win every time, leaving the Mini/Civic/Golf owner frustrated the race didn't continue to 100mph+ through the High Street so they could finally overtake

Or b) Yaris pulls up next to a Golf R and gets beaten by that too??

[MiseryStreak]

Or c) McLaren 765LT?

That would be down to the wire I think, as the Golf R DSG is quicker than that.

Yeah, that sounds quite sensible.

Me, I was just being silly!!

Unlikely, the average Golf R driver has notoriously slow reaction times away from the lights due to being too busy looking in the mirror checking his quiff.

I will post a picture when fitted. They look the mutts nuts for now and Speedline were terrific to talk to and be a customer of. Very grounded, very helpful, very nice people and the product shipped next day via a quality courier.

Send them your business.

Dear Torqu3steer,

I am also trying so hard for finding a solution for a roof rack. Without transporting skis on the roof I can't have the GR sadly. And I want it so much that is hard to describe.

Could you find a solution since then?

Because frameless doors, racks only could be stabilised on the cf roof itself, which seems rough, so vacuum wouldn't be sufficient I guess.

Toyota official site:
"forged carbon composite roof. This high-tech and super-strong carbon sheet moulding compound (known as C-SMC)"

1., if the roof could be "smoothen"
2., could handle the "super strong" roof a pair of skis with suction cup?

Sure, if, if, if. And even no aftermarket solution.

Shall we give up?

Could you mount skis on the back window? or failing that on a bicycle rack on the hatch?

Why don't you just get your passenger to sit behind you and put them on the passenger side, rear window to dash.

Carwow drag race against the Mini GP 3: https://youtu.be/7OpYRTupJJ0

The mini isn’t standard fitted with a Venturi intake rated as an additional 15-18bhp 17-20Ib-ft torque.

There's absolutely no way swapping out the standard airbox for any system is going to give anywhere near 15-18bhp. Anyway, the Mini GP monsters the Yaris when rolling.

Quite a strange but interesting comparison I thought. 4wd vs fwd/manual vs auto/small engine vs smaller engine.

Mock up of how that may look...

[LemonTart]

This is quite cool, a video of the build inside the factory.

You can get inflatable roof racks that protect the roof and lash down through the windows I think?

Or just hire skis?

Don’t they normally rely on rear windows opening otherwise would be very short?

Crazy talk.

[ecsrobin]

Not much love for a non circuit pack car.

How much is it to list on collecting cars?

[bennno]

Costs vendor nothing to sell / list.

[PhilPol]

Carwow, you need to step up your game and get a collection like this together for a video.

Just beautiful to see them all together... wow...

So you lost £875 plus the hassle of selling.
