Yes, do it, its soooo funny. Ricer Heaven.
Where do I start????
NOS - great stuff.
Would you like either ;
A-) A microswitch on the accelerator, that detects when the throttle is at 100%, then as long as you are not in first gear, feeds a gradually increasing boost from 0% to 100% about two seconds later, thereby saving the transmission and engine the huge thump of immediate 50-200% torque increase.
or
B-) A bottle or two of NOS mounted on the rear seat that you have to lean over and spin the valve open, then press not one, but two big buttons on the steering wheel with "NOS" written on them. Has side effect of making pedestrians wake fast, waves come in quickly etc etc.
"You owe me a ten second car"
Completley lost on the non-UK audience. They mean a car that does a quarter mile drag race in 10 seconds. Do you know how hard that is?
Example :
M5 3.8 340BHP, 295lb-ft torque, weight 3638lb QTR/Mile 14.4 sec
A Dinan M5 E34 540i Turbo WC, 650BHP, 700 lb-ft, weight 2825lb, QTR/Mile 12.2 sec.
McLaren F1, 627BHP, 500 lb-ft torque, weight 2205 lb QTR/Mile 11.1 sec
A standard RX7 Twin Turbo posts Qtr/mile in about 14.0 @ 100 MPH. A mate had one, and they are great, huge brakes, huge go.
Veilside, who make the bodykits, see the film for a product placement sticker, are very very good, and I`d love one, but without all the garbage Vin Deisel has in his.
Now the fastest street legal car I can find, is a Honda Civic at 10.988 secs at 133Mph, but this is a unlimited mods, Turbo AND Nitrous (Garrett T04X/T3 and 23 psi XS Engineering NOS). Kerb weight about 2500lbs.
So, how can you get a 2500lb Civic to beat a 2205lb McLaren F1?
Simple... Gearing. Lets try fastest to 150, or.... 170Mph, or..... 190Mph.
Hell, I bet my eleven year old 535i is faster at 140Mph book v-max !!!
How sad are they going to be down an autobahn?
So, rant mode off, a ten second car is pointless out of the states (55mph) or on long journey, (3hrs at 8000rpm at 130mph anyone?)
Whats with the computers in the car? I work repairing laptops, so don`t even start me off on those.
And, and, and, and, please don`t let there be a revival for the neon lights that go under cars. Nice on a full price Strosek Nissan 300ZX but just plain ridiculous on mums old Golf MK1 or uncle Bobs Escort, the one made up from 10 years of stolen parts!!
I drive a 3.6 M5, insurance group? err.. all of them.
In 1990 it was the fastest factory sedan in the world. Oh, hand built too.
Its a deeply disturbing mass market film designed for the "max power" reader who quakes at anything over insurance group 10!
Might go and see it again at the weekend
:p
