*runs off to clean up mess*

by **AdrianFRST** on Mon Nov 11, 2002 1:00 pm

I believe the surface there dry's quicker than normal. Special compound or something.

Still can't believe it!

Sunny and Ian H are both there. Also present is Jamie from Jamsport, Keith S22.1ZVH and a few others.

Errm, is this a wind-up Ade? I know what you're like for Monday morning mickey takes.

If not, sweet Jesus! Did he leave the rear half of the chassis on the start line 'cos that acceleration must have been awesome!

by **Paul RS1800** on Mon Nov 11, 2002 1:11 pm

That is damn fast.........

He must be getting close to 12sec 1/4mile (his aim I believe)

by **EvilFranky** on Mon Nov 11, 2002 1:13 pm

Thats awesomly quick...especially for FWD!!!! Woohoo!!

by **AdrianFRST** on Mon Nov 11, 2002 1:23 pm

No wind up. I'd not joke about something like this.

Plus my wind-ups usually involve Phil Si in dubious circumstances!

Good lad.. Go on my son..

Awesome time.. Knowing paul, there will be a change of spec and he'll be after beating it next time!

by **Doc** on Mon Nov 11, 2002 1:41 pm

Does he have a parachute???!!!!

I`ll remember not to challenge Paul to a 0-60 challenge

by **chumkila** on Mon Nov 11, 2002 1:41 pm

RSpec!! :aviator:

by TJ on Mon Nov 11, 2002 2:09 pm

FUDGE ME SIDEWAYS!!! 4.2!

It took me longer to read your post ade!!

by **grahamb** on Mon Nov 11, 2002 2:19 pm

If you get in to the physics of propelling a front wheel drive car off the line, 4.2 seconds is highly unlikely, unless you mean 0-60 kph

RWD I'd believe, but hard to do in a front wheel drive car (but not impossible given the right conditions)

If it is true though, big up to the man! He must have had some very wide slicks on it

by **Swanick** on Mon Nov 11, 2002 2:25 pm

quality

by **CarismaDave** on Mon Nov 11, 2002 2:31 pm

4.2

That beats the GTiR's tho

Could someone please lend me the other £5k I need to finish mine...I'm getting impatient!

Dave

by **ArronXR2i** on Mon Nov 11, 2002 2:34 pm

WOW that is impressive

when Paul reads this - a quick question? - do you launch in second gear

by **007** on Mon Nov 11, 2002 2:42 pm

4.2sec

That is amazing!

by TJ on Mon Nov 11, 2002 3:05 pm

And do u have rocket propulsion???

by **moulder** on Mon Nov 11, 2002 3:11 pm

Just read the feature in performance Ford on that lovely car and it said it did a 5.26 sec 0-60, so he must have made a few changes to take a second off the time.

by **chumkila** on Mon Nov 11, 2002 3:19 pm

moulder dont believe the PF times as the strip they use has a bad surface compared to where Paul has run today. Beside Paul already had a CONFIRMED time of 5.12 i believe.

by **AdrianFRST** on Mon Nov 11, 2002 3:27 pm

He did a 5.14 at Trax yep. I'm sure he'll be on here when he gets home to tell us all about it! Roll out the red carpet!!! (with a green stripe

)

grahamb :He must have had some very wide slicks on it

205 section (I think) Yoko AVS, cut slicks but fully road legal, as used on the Lotus Exige.

by **moulder** on Mon Nov 11, 2002 3:30 pm

Im deffinitly not saying i dont believ the times etc, Im just bvery interested inthe set up of his car as Im sure with every1 else on here a car like that deffinitly does something for me in the gawping stakes.

fooking hell

by **grahamb** on Mon Nov 11, 2002 4:20 pm

I've got 205's on my Fessie too, S compound A038R's. I'll have to wheel her out for a play. I'm sure I can get under 6 seconds with some practice, but below 5 is going to take a phenomenal amount of power, a lot more than I've got.

Its just rained in Leicester, so I guess Brunters is under several inches of water by now

by TJ on Mon Nov 11, 2002 5:29 pm

Well done Paul mate! Im well impressed and darn shocked at the time! That is truly awesome!!

by **fiestakingfisher** on Mon Nov 11, 2002 6:14 pm
