Blown BA In Your Face Member 6,195 Member For: 21y 11m 1d Gender: Male Location: Peninsula Posted 04/04/04 03:29 AM Share Posted 04/04/04 03:29 AM Totally agree Peter. I was telling Siccar, not to embarass himself by getting hosed down by an APS stage 3. I know that even the standard porky GT is on the edge against a stage one, a worked GT only just over a stage 2, a worked GT no chance over a stage 3. But at least we don't shut down at 230kph, and the GT does handle better. From what l saw a Calder a few weeks ago, a $15grand worked engine on a GT ......certainly did not impress me or the other turbo guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres more to these cars than hurtling down a strip in a straight line In your dreams Hyp....in your dreams :lol: Mate if you need a hairdryer to hurtle your T down a strip (very bloody quickly I might add from your posted times) that's fine. CAPA have already put 400kW on the bum of a supercharged XR8, so more must be acheivable.My dreams have resulted in a Typhoon in my Garage in Dec to keep my GT company.If you check the stats on REAL DRIVING, as in going around corners etc, you will see the T does not have too much to boast about compared to the GT. Put an extra 30 - 40% power into any factory engine you have to shorten its life, not to mention the life of the transmission (common sense physics). Your car is making a real quick time but big kW = Hand Grenade City. If it was all so easy and reliable FPV would have made the Typhoon 320kW with 650nm, they could have, but they didn't. WHY?
