@@@ 30-130 and Top Speed Day @ RAF Marham @@@

[SMD]

Yes Ross had a good day and has gone quicker than i did.

I won the last two events doing 7.1without NOS. But Ross used NOS to get this time! Very fast cars. Alot of trouble tho!:banghead:

[SMD]

Not have a go at Top Speed Run Rich?

TerryB 1st run 22.71!

[csl_mba]

Bloody hell you just realise the acceleration on these if the CSL is doing 15 seconds slower than the fastest Evo :supz:

[bryce]

I cant even imagine how fast that feels. Must be awesome :drool:

[SpineOnABap]

They're blisteringly quick aren't they?!

Simon (SMD) you used to have a mental machine then? Gareth mentioned you had an EVO that you'd done up a bit :thumbs:

[RichW]

Not have a go at Top Speed Run Rich?

TerryB 1st run 22.71!

He's just done a 20.45 and 148.08 top speed so beaten my time of 21.47 and 146.58 at the top :bigcry:

Would a 60kg passenger make that difference??

[SpineOnABap]

Is it a bit rainy today?

[2bar boost]

Im quite astonished at the times a CSL runs at this event!

Thought it would be far higher up the leader board :bigcry:

Check out the M6 that ran today 25s:banghead:

They are pretty toilet arent they, i was honestly expecting mid teens, slippery shape compared to the evo, flat shifting, no lag, that is bizarelly slow sounding.
My old Evo 8 ran in the 9's full weight, around 1425kg i think, i would never have said it felt twice as fast and a bit more in a straight line.
Ferking strange that.

[RichW]

At the end of the day, does it really matter?

My old car ran 9.96 @ 183 - the CSL 21.47 @ 146 - given the choice, i'd take the CSL every time :smt055

Agree, the CSL is an awesome all-rounder with real track ability. My modified Evo VI, although fun, was an expensive pain in the ass at times and not half the car of the CSL IMHO. Evo's sound shite too! :whistle::hahaha:

[RichW]

Evo's sound shite too! :whistle::hahaha:

Most things sound shite compared to a CSL :hahaha::hahaha::hahaha:

Im more than happy with the CSL :thumbs: Just find it strange that a Golf Gti can post similar times :hahaha:

Honestly thought from how they feel on the road that it would of ran quicker :whistle: but thats life! Obvious that the CSL's natural habitat is at the Ring :smokin:

trundles off to borrow a vbox to collect my own data:gayfight:

[AlexGTT]

Not surprised at all by these results. CSL is a standard car against modified Evo's. In a straight line there's no contest, especially with the CSL's intergalactic gearing. One with a 4.1:1 diff would have been an interesting comparison.

Throw in a decent track and look at the lap times. That would have the CSL climbing the chart. I remember lapping Spa with a very rapid, flame spitting Evo blasting past me like I was in reverse on the Kemmel straight after Eau Rouge. On every lap, by the time we were going through Pouhon he was holding me up.:smokin:

[RichW]

Absolutely, shows how good the CSL is at what it does, i cant wait to get mine out on track and then it'll be time for some payback :smokin:
