these were the figures form the run which was aborted at 185mph

[quote="MADRod"]The Data below compares GT35 run with latest Spec.
For comparison only, have used in-gear data on previous 0-80 time.
This is not the actual aborted run as the computer went AWOL same as the car. This was a Test run & Mark backed off at 185mph because it had a persistant misfire. Car had Spare wheel & Tools in the back :eek: .
Misfire or not the gains are massive & suggest a fully fit car will be past 200mph sub 20secs.
