Advantage Leon;complete with steroidal fuel,nitrous injection,and 'banger' power.

Yes he was quicker also best top speed,although I think he and David bribed the timming boys hehe.hehe

Correct Mark - both Leon and I out dragged and out Vmax'd the CGT - but sorry no bung needed - the numbers never lie!

There's no "even" about it, no argument from anyone that the gin palace is a fine machine!

I suspect Rods with race fuel might have been a high 190s bod, too.

Not sure what effect Schoo-makker juice in regularish road car lumps will have?

Mark's Kleeman is just the absolute f@cking business, though, is it not?

I mean here we are, flapping around every 3 months like a bunch of demented demi Lufftwaffia, spending £x/n-1 for the odd mile an hour and yet this unassuming SL quietely lopes in, sets up camp for a few hours and by any moral standard, makes off with 90% of the tea & biscuits, all the while exhibiting more composure than a female monarch during the letting orf of a fake pistola whilst marching amidst the plebian mass.

I many ways, the argument for a big, modified Merc for VMax and something lithe (RS, GT3, Noble, Evo, Scooby) for the weekend hills seems a more logical approach.

Will this profound logicality have any sway on the sufferance described?

Having seen Polarebert's video elsewhere, the CGT driver was saving the clutch and preventing the car from stalling by gingerly leaving the line. In the race to the first right hander, would that be the reason Leon destroyed him perhaps?

Leon was faster than me and I think the CGT was trying here

Not a chance - the CGT clutch is pretty much on or off anyway and the chap was not best pleased at the 911 onslaught! He confessed to me that he was giving it the max! Best sounding engine in a road car though!

That is a thought - Leon is usally a good 10mph down on me so if I put 102 in mine do I hit 208? lick

Spill the beans Leon - what spec RT12 are you going for - the whole hog?

If Leon brings an RT12, you might as well forget it - the challenge will be to see if anyone can replicate Guy's original 200 busting feat and/or which is the second fastest chariot.

The only way from that, is via Veyron.

That will be a challenge then - though buying a Veryon to top the Vmax tables is a bit of an extreme measure!

Well lets say RT12 is 700bhp,it will weigh a bit more than yours David so I reckon if you could find about 60bhp[ie,Jungle Juice.yikes]that would cost a tad less than a Veyron.hehe
Then it would then be a close run thing
