IMO it makes it the car it should have been from the factory, I'd not driven a turbo until yesterday, a friend has just bought VXR#47 and I had a spin in it yesterday, and I much prefer the sc. Torque from low down and all the way through.

:yeahthat:

Trying to work out what speed you were getting to at the end of the longest straight (down the runway, before the sharp left hander).. I can only just nudge the ton down there in my slow old NA, and I brake as late as I can! Just trying to see how many mph per £k for the supercharger.. ;)

I had a top speed of 122 on the scangauge and I would imagine thats where it was, as the day went on I was trying to brake later and later there until at one point I decided not to try and turn left and considered that straight on through the cones would be the better way out!!!!!

Excellent, thanks. Probably won't get a chance to get down there that day (busy unpacking from moving house the previous day!), but would certainly be up for a pax at Abingdon if I can make it there next month.. :) chinky chinky

Too busy looking at the track at that point, but the time before last I went out in the passenger seat of my friends 996 Turbo and he hit 133mph down the straight. I think my Eunos I hit about 120mph, but its hard to tell as the speedo only goes to 110mph. The VX I think I was about 110ish ?
