As a 21 year old college student most of my peers have a hard time understanding why I think my 85 hp 30 yr old car is so fun. Usually I get the question, “Okay, It seems like you can make a lot of upgrades to this car, If you did that how fast would it be” I usually answer with a stutter, uh uh I dunno. So, with a 200 hp six and moderately stiff suspension, what kind of numbers do you guys have? It would be very interesting to see some braking stats, 0-60, some form of slalom, anything. I’m also wondering if the guys out there with 300 to 400hp or getting that much more for performance.

The TTDO guy is a regular SCCA AS competitor and was running Yoko 100ES IIRC. and just so nobody's haid gets too big, on a 50-60 sec course, those gaps would prolly double.
The 3rd place car was SM but still on street tires. Those are the guys I know....the rest (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) 2 weeks ago, I ran SCCA in the wet/ damp and they ran in the dry and killed me by 3-4 sec. I'm used to gettin' beat & that bothers me some. I admit, Britian is pretty quick. He drove the shit outta my car.....but others have done better. Andy, Geoff, come on over and we'll plant your ass in my car & you can show me whatcha got....that goes pretty much for anybody here. Anything else is blowing wind. Britian: you proved you can drive. You could prolly jump in about any car there and beat the owners time by 2 sec. ...so could the guys in the Subies. I think your analysis is off the mark as your leaving the drivers out of the equation. |
