[VNV8]

[LS1TOY]

:eek: thats unreal!!!! got car can drive!

[XLR8 V8]

Very impressive driving :headbang:.... but the guys standing scattered around the middle of the track everywhere must be confident that he'll never make a mistake too :stupid: They're standing awfully close to the places where the car would spin across if he lost it ... Yes, I know they're marshalls looking to see if he crosses the lines, but there doesn't seem to be any safety concern

[El Narros]

The worst bit was no one clapped when he finished.

[LS1TOY]

maybe he was a crap one???:confused:

[Ricky]

maybe he was a crap one???:confused:

I thought the same in a way because we didnt see any one else so who knows if he was one of the better or worst of the drivers.

[fredsta]

Unbelievable, isn't it a caterham 7 kit car?

Yes it is. The driver is actually only regarded as an average driver by UK standards.

Interestingly enough a Caterham 7 has the world record for going from 0-100mph-0 of 12.1 seconds, beating the record previously by a Maclaren. Reason it's so fast is the low weight of around 540kgs, which makes the power to weight ratio of between 400-500bhp per tonne depending on the motor. The Caterham company bought the moulds from Lotus when Lotus stopped production as a Lotus 7. Originally it was designed by Colin Chapman as a cheap alternative to racing.

Sure that figure is correct? 0-100mph is only 160Km/h and I know a few turbo Pulsars that can do that(not to mention quite a few LS1's)

[mac06]

That's 0mph to 100mph and back to 0mph. They can do 0-100kph in around 3.5seconds.

I know from a recent article on the Bugatti Veyron had a 0-100-0 of 9.9secs.

60mph....2.5secs
100mph...5.5secs
back to a stop from 100mph in 3.4secs...9.9secs.Total

Sort of makes the Caterham a bit of a SLUG!!!:rofl:

Those are some awesome figures:bow: In perspective the Bugatti Veyron is around US$1.4 million. The top of the wazza Caterham would probably cost around AU$150,000. In kit form they start at around AU$17,000, but that is a pov pack. These are designed as more of an affordable fun car that can still be driven as a road car.:)

[OLDYELLA65]

I reckon I could pull at least 3:evil: cars that would push this time ....will test one of them sunday week!!:woohoo: I'll get it incorporated into our next test session!!Stay Tuned!!:)and all under $80k...and road registered!!

I notice you've got a 427 Cobra Replica. Now they were also an awesome car that gave a lot of other cars a run for their money. It all goes to show you don't need a bucket load of cash to have a lot of fun.:driving:

I would never say Cobras are a cheap option!!!

This Car i'm sure would give 9.9secs a push once it's rebuilt!!! Local Mechanic had car in for a Cam and decided to showboat on Cold tyres.. backed it into a paddock through a fence and a witness said "END OVER END 3 TIMES!!"... And both occupants walked away with a couple of scratches!!

Now that is (or was) one nice looking car!!! :drool: Hope you get it back together in even better shape than before.

By cheap I meant relative to the Lambo, Ferrari, Bugatti's of the world. $80,000 is a fair amount of money by anyones standards. Incidently the Caterham copy kit cars can be built in a very good optioned up version for around $50-60,000. The beauty is you can do as much or as little as you want. As for me, at the moment it's just a dream:(
