A guy from Option appeared on Supraforums and gave a brief summary of the story, I pasted it into a text doc and attached it above, post 2.

 

From the same thread re top speeds:

Neither of these cars came close to making the kind of power big power MKIVs are making today. When you look at the ease with which Tommy Banh went 201 mph, going from 80-204 mph (AEM log) in less than 1/2 mile of the TX Mile, and leaving a lot on the table, a properly set-up MKIV will go quite a bit better than 210 mph. Peter on this board recently went 225 mph in a MKIV making less than 1000 wheel.

 

Only on SF would 210 mph be considered ho-hum, although it's not.

yeah supes look fantastic and go like stink but the best 1s are made as good as they are after they left the factory, the veyron was built to look and go like it does

WOW - that is impressive......would be nice to see what big-powered supras can do today.

 

Agreed Veyron is a feat of engineering.

Till the "eye spy" camera people catch one on the back of a recovery truck.

 

I love the Veyron and in my dreams of winning the lottery (Euromillions) I would buy one straight away, sod the house.

With only 50 made and all sold by VW, perhaps they are worth a lot more than a Million and hence sold for more too ;)

With a Euromillions win, do you honestly think a few extra 100k will make a difference, by time paper work goes through and you get it delivered etc, your offshore bank account woudl have made it back in interest.

 

Plus you never know I might be waiting for the 1250 bhp version due out.

Now you know he won't sell if it is going to you, or is the kit you are on about a different one?

 

Sod him...he showed his true colours.....not a professional at all and I wouldn't trust him at all anymore.

 

i'm talking about you buying one (or two just to be on the safe side) from another trader when you win the lottery for me :D

ONLY in the UK is the 200 mph barrier deemed impossible.

Crap like "massive frontal area", "poor aerodynamics" , "front end lift" etc are spoken by those who would dung themselves to even hit the std 155 limiter. If a std version, delimited, in the USA in 1993 can hit 181mph in a road test (it's in a book I have somewhere) the extra 19mph when BHP is almost tripled isnt that hard.

I have been well wound out in 6th, and i can tell you those Mecs stuttering at 155mph in the other lane of the autobahn are almost a blurr when the Supra is at those revs (18" and UK diff) in 6th.

I like my top end runs :) and Supra's do it so well!

Wasn't the speed people scoffed at something like 240mph? Only one did it, the Jun Bonnieville car at 247mph.

 

I beleive we were talking about 9ff doing 248mph at Nardo at the time ;)
