Yuo'll have to wait for the 200mph ticket dude , but i can guaruntee it will eclipse that easily at Brunters and TOTB , i hit 187 just over 1/2 way down bruntingthorpe (speed limiter ) !!!!

AEM now so even with the auto diff it should hit over 200 before redline , with the 6spd gearing it was only doing 6000rpm @ 187 so the new redline is 8000 !!!! :read:

 

Dude :cool:

 

and it doesnt owe £50K ...............................Yet :cry: :cry:

did anyone see 5th gear this week?

 

What were they doing buying a lotus to try and top 200mph, they should have bought a supe, i was most amused when after paying 20 grand odd, they didnt even manage to get the thing home before the gear box went!

 

Then after spending big money on a turbo, tuning and gearbox refurb...

 

the gearbox went (again) on the way to the runway! LOL!

That feature about the Lotus and that trackday was a load of made up story-telling. The Loti gearbox killed itself about 10 days before the track-day, not on the way up as suggested (they were there long before we showed up).

"many of the cars had over 600bhp" - did they? It was actually two- the red SL65AMG that buzzed the camera, and the black RUF GT2. The average output was a smidge over 400bhp.

There was a Supra on the telly though - for a total of three seconds.
