    Wow, that hole must have taken a while to wear through. You didn't get any codes when the hole was just starting to make itself known?

    A few of the cars tuned by Jan over the years make over 300hp at the crank. One of them makes 271whp = 312 crank hp has stock m45,intercooler,pistons, rods, crank, and even stock flywheel/clutch.

    I got codes and a pretty loud hissing sound when it happened.

    Wow where have you been....General Mechanical Drivetrain Loss....15% for Manual transmission, 25% for Automatic and Manual All Wheel Drive

    101mph in the 1/4 mile isn't 260whp more like 195-210whp, my car on stock tune, stock bottom-end, stock head, Stock intercooler 16%, megan header, borla race, CAI, did 90mph in the 1/4 mile it only was making 185whp/163wtq on a dynojet...we all know enough about that to be true, also driving plays a big proponent in times around a track.

    :)

    I hope your time is made first time on drag track, with 130kg driver and 3° Camber.

    If not....then your writing is useless.

    This 300HP car beat my road 270HP version car in third gear from 100kmh up like nothing.

    So you have 100% right!
    Why you not come to bedford and beat all our asses? You will be a champion mate. :)

    Ah yes, this carp again. It's damn near impossible for ya'll to be at the same place at the same time. Even harder when large oceans made it impossible to drive to meet.

    So stop this carp cause like other battles that have raging for millenniums this one will never be settled.

    Want to keep the pissing match going? Please take it elsewhere.

    That's an opinion :Thumbsup: But it seems most people just drive around town and there's more chance in a "little drag race" against a ricer than a "road race" against one? But, that's an opinion too :cool:

    over the speed limit and RACING are 2 different things.........1 will get your car crushed........because that's how dangerous they deem it.......

    if you really want to race show up at the track and show us just how fast you are.............

    If 165+ on a public "road" is what you are speeking of... Then yes... I have.:eek6:
    Yes it was a DUMB *** move on my part BUT, it is when and where you choose to do it. In my case I was on a rual country road that only sees traffic in the early morning and @ 5PM... No cops, and if I screwed up... Somebody MIGHT notice the wreckage and my body lying in a corn field before harvest.

    Dumb move"s" indeed... But everyone does it atleast once. Cant tell me you havent.
