Robert Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 yea my girlfriend bought a copy today, article is ok but i think hes off the mark thinking his 832BHP nitrous is the fastest in the UK, im sure dude or paul whiffin are more than a match, although i might be wrong.....

Robert Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 yea in the article leon says hes blown two engines in the last few months, hes says "one of them was way over 1000HP"......interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hornet Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Plus Kev @ Envy was around 800bhp WITHOUT laughing gas and should be around 900 when finished being built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Leons is supposed to be around 1045, without NOS, i thought that was the figure from THOR where he had it maxing the dynos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know Leon very well, only to say hello and exchange pleasantries with at shows but I don't think Leon would claim to be the fastest in the UK. I think that would more than likely be the magazine embellishing things a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would more than likely be the magazine embellishing things a little. Exactly, I mean thats what they said about Steve Whittakers car in Jap Perfomance this month, when there are 3 Supras that have clearly run faster times than him. Leons, Johns and CRD's.. its all to sell magazines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Ignoring all the stupid pub talk power figures, AFAIK, I don't know of any Supra's in the UK that have run faster terminal speeds than Leons, although Dude and CRD have run faster 1/4 mile times. Terminal speed is a very good indication of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Terry S Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Knowing Leons spec, IF the car is running right, it will be by far the most powerful at present. Look at his & dudes terminal speeds, they compare very favourably to some of the others you mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKEYmark Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 its good to see the big power cars racing. for all the big power they have the times dont seem brilliant only IMHO. leon has plenty of power but dont seem that savage off the line. the crd supra seems to impress me lots even though it just more a race teams car. paul w circa 800-900 hp and 11.8 1/4 djcraig circa 900hp 3.1 stroker kit stripped out with nos 11.0 1/4 leon 800 + stroker kit 10.7 1/4 dude 600+ 10.853 kev h 800 + 12.5 1/4 christian d (hks twins) 12.2 it just seems mad in america some people running 11.2 with stock turbos and 10.85 with a shot of gas. its only going to get better over here now there is more competition. seems to be a flood of single turbo supras about now. when i was at pod at one of the big jap car days and skylines running 10.2 they just seemed to be so fast. i think dude will be the man to beat with his dedication and passion to be no1. lets hope its a better year for all supras and get the reputation for been competition for skylines. btw not pulling anyones efforts down as i know how much it costs to try go fast cant wait till all these new times start to come in. the next totb should be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
