Hi everyone, new owner to be here.

 

I've just sold my 1965 racing car to settle a few bills and I'm looking at a 2.2 S/C next week that was once owned by Rossco on this forum.

 

Sounds like its a decent bet as its mechanically and structurally sound, just needs a bit of tidying up externally (just....ha!) 

 

I drove a really nice turbo last weekend, but I like the idea of the progressive power of a supercharger. Getting a boot full of boost in the wet at the Nordschleife doesn't fill me with excitement..!

 

I've had a good look through the forum and got some good pointers. Hope I'll get to know you all a bit better and meet some of you out on track somewhere

 

Cheers

Simon

Welcome! Whereabouts in Hampshire are you?

Cheers Strugs. I'm just south of Alton, not too far from you by the looks of it.

A properly mapped, reasonably powered turbo (240bhp) will be smooth and progressive. The problem comes when you get above 250ish, most maps will use a lot of boost which makes the transition quite spikey.

Yep, close by. I'm just up the A31 in Farnham. My Stg 2 SC is not for sale but if you wanted an 'experience' of it to compare and contrast you'd be welcome..
