Hello!

Can anyone let me know how the Esprits performed on the day in comparison to the other exotica?

I saw a photo of an esprit against a noble, how did that turn out?

Were there any other head to head runs with the Esprit?

Let me know, cheers.

Here you go.

I had a ride in one of the Esprits. Very impressive and still a wonderful car.

I suspect a 350 will run very similar figures to my car, as i run a 350 spec ecu. It was pretty consistent at 164/165 all day - would have gone faster with more space but this is probably true of a lot of the fast stuff

Anyone know why i didn't figure in the table? Is it because i didn't have a number on the screen?

btw matt - who's 350 is that? would be interesting to run side by side..

Its a mate of mine, he's just chopped his Tamora in for one.

Hi,

I was in the Noble.. all things seemed pretty equal up the drag strip and on the long straight the Esprit definately had a few mph advantage. Unfortunately I have subsequently discovered one of my turbo gaskets had failed a few weeks earlier so a rematch is definiately on the cards!
