bolarbag Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 The time was very impressive, how can a car that heavy go around that quick!!? If the V-spec comes out and is indeed the 400kg lighter that was reported then I'm guessing its going to give that ascari a run for its money!

RiceRocket Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 It was slower, but just means I was even closer to my original estimate Gaz. http://www.achgohairithe.com/content/2008/03/smug2.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Anyone get the impression Clarkson likes the GTR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmigzyTT Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 TBH i dont think the spec-V will be 400kg lighter, maybe 150-200 at best with a small power hike to maybe 550ps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 lol @ 400Kgs lighter... As said 100-150Kgs max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I'd say 400kg is defo an over statement, but if the car came with 18's instead of 20's and they removed the sound deadening and rear seats with perhaps a flurry of carbon fibre you never know...200kg would be easily acheiveable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 The M3 CSL is only 110kg lighter than the standard M3 - and with 25 more bhp IIRC, and it makes a big difference when pressing on. Anything over 100kgs with a small hike in power will see a devastating machine IMO. EDIT: M3 CSL is only 17bhp more (343bhp to 360bhp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmigzyTT Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Anything over 100kgs with a small hike in power will see a devastating machine IMO. Exactly. There are a couple in the UK that are already up to and over 600ps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
