Makes me want to drive a csl now

Joking aside, Vmax looks a pretty cool event - I'd like to have a go. I assume the speeds are not "on the clock" but more accurately assessed (if anyone knows)? Anyone been?

Does anyone know who owned the car at this point? The pic was posted 2008. I did a bit of investigation but came up blank.

Possibly it's Billy83?

They put a V-box in the car .

Lots of register cars old and new .

Haha, that's me on Page 7, FEZ.

Go Pro is attached to the front bumper so must have been a trackday at the Ring.

"done one lap in this on Nunburgring
awesome"

Must have made an impression anyway:whistle:

It hit an official 170mph at Vmax and was dyno-tested by Thorney's showing 373 bhp at the flywheel in standard form @ 7800 rpm.
