Nice work Tiger.
You'll easily do low 12's & Maybe quicker if Traction allows.

very nice, much much smoother than your last graph :D

*edit* - er..the power is still climbing at 7500rpm...is that where your gonna set your limit? i havent budged mine, not keen on revving too high :D

7500rpm is not the limit it stopped cos of a bearing failed in the turbo and the turbo is less than 5k old :eek:

Well done mate - AWESOME STUFF !!!! ;)

It's fantastic to have at least one true 'respect' vehicle on the forum in terms of power/performance :)

Like others have said, all you need to do now is run n time it down the track :)

Power to weight translates to low 12's - high 11's, given all else falls in place, would be great to see that happen :)

oh you mean the press forged billet pistons that practically DO NOT BREAK ever...and thermodynamic restance a few degree's cooler then the sun :D


i give tony crap about how much time and money he has spent on this thing, but you have to admit, its gotta be one of if not the best corsa on the planet. Must be nice to own something that special...

I mean think about it, some guy could rock up next to it in a new porsche..and not only would it cost more than double, the porsche would prolly get smoked, and prolly get less attention.

Just had a look at that link posted above.

Mean little car love the way it looks so tame, but its completely wild! Very cool you must have a true passion for Barinas!

Nice work!

Ummm he liked the vauxhall vectra for its speed until he turned the corner, so don't think JC would be the best critic to look at Tony's car.

Time slips Tony! :D Dmwdave isn't getting any slower ya know!
