Gaz Walker Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Do you get to keep the Ferrari once you beat it? Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NGA Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 it wouldn't be a straight line race though, there'd be cornering and stuff. We could work out a course so that you can finish on a long straight and use your nitro then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Nitro? You've been watching too much Fast and Furious Turbo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NGA Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 ok Turbo..I'm green on all this. that's why I came here...to learn. Turbo's cool, that means cornering isn't a problem eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Cornering shouldnt be a problem with a driver who knows what hes/shes doing. That counts me out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Yeah we need one of the single turbo guys to go for this. Dude? Paul Whiffin? I know Paul's a bit handy round a track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Paul would be best suited imho... v powerful car, he does track days, and its a manual, and its BLACK, perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJI Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I'd be well up for this as I have a Racing License and numerous Formula Ford races under my belt. But unfortunately my car isn't setup to beat a Ferrari 360 round a track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not it's more than adequate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I reckon Paul would be a good bet too - especially with a few more bits on his car since he was the only supra in the top ten at TOTB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Well my UK-spec is running about 400bhp on stock suspension but I think that will not even get close to a properly driven Ferrari 360 round a track. Something like Paul Whiffin's car with huge BHP would 'reel' it in on the straights but through the corners a 360 will trounce a Supra. ('trounce' maybe a bit too severe word but it would be a good few mhp faster). So it basically comes to the track layout and how many corners there are etc. The 360 is a mid-engined sports car setup for track driving, the change of direction on these cars is a lot more than what a Supra can do with it's front engine setup. I hope I'm proved wrong if a high powered Supra did go up against a Ferrari 360 but I think the pure racing pedigree of the Ferrari means anything but a stripped-out fully setup Supra would stand a chance. If this is what Paul has then I'd say go for it ! But I know my Supra is definately not capable. And also if Paul has done a number of track days and knows the limits of his car round corners then he most definately is the prime candidate for this challenge.
