199.4 MPH and improving !

[andrew_forrest]

Today we had a Scoob v EVO shootout at Bruntingthorpe proving ground.

It proved one thing, Scoobs are faster and more reliable than EVO's

Or at least they certainly were today.

I ran 197mph then 198mph next run, then 199.4mph and we ran out of time to try again !

Now, where can I find that last 0.6 mph

(with hindsight, I think dropping off my 11 stone passenger may just have done it !)

[RS Grant]

Thats f@ckin crazy....

Well done though mate!!

Cheers,

Grant

P.S - You have mail.

Unbelievable Andy - well done for claiming some EVO scalp ! Are you running these sorta speeds without a rear spoiler ? Just wondered as i saw what happened to Petta Solberg when he lost his in the rally of Findland

I may be paying you a visit before Xmas for a remap bty

Cheers

Andy.........

figures arent everything, as long as it feels fast thats the main thing

can i come in the car the next time you go that fast please??? i have a dream of getting to 200mph (even in someone elses car)

[jcscoob]

WOW !!!

Ps, your a mad man, lol

[weeb]

briliant result!! what a speed!!

[imprezapete]

Way cool!

I have always wanted to go 200mph! bit of a dream like Gumball

[dougster]

Did you have the roof scoop open?

What about smaller mirrors or taping up the gaps in the panel work? Is that allowed?

Nice work anyway Andy!!!!!

[dave_morgan]

Excellent!! . I've seen videos of 200mph scoobs in NZ, but didn't realise anyone over here was that close. How long was the run? Would be great to get the scoobies getting good results in all disciplines at TOTB next year.

Underbody diffusers must be the next step surely??

[dipsy]

Well done Andy .Who said scoobs are slow

[frank c]

Well done Andy....

200mph ...Don't think i'll ever manage the thrill of travelling at that speed...

[RA Dunk]

FANTASTIC - THAT TAKES GUTS. SUPERB. WHAT A NOISE TOO.

[Kenny.S]

Very impressive mate.

On paper what is it geared for? How many revs did you have left at 199.4mph

Kenny

[andrew_forrest]

It was over 1.4 miles, the car was still accelerating as it passed the timing beams.

It was running 7560 rpm at 199.4 on my custom gearing set. The limiter is at 8400 although power starts to tail off from 8000 onwards.....unless I hit the nos button..... in which case it just keeps going

I didn't use the nos for this top speed run although with hindsight a little 'jag' would have been order of the day I think

Andy

[RA Dunk]

youve got balls i,ll give ya that much lol wouldent mind sitting beside ya at that speed though that would be a proper brown trouser moment for me but would be worth it just for the ardrenalin rush!!

[mazheriqbal_mohammed]

Nice one Andy what a result!!!!

Think there is no end to what you can do to your Scoob, keep it up!
