Theres no way the bucket V2 will catch Sunny's RST. It wouldn't even be fair. No disrepect to the bucket but the money spent on each car is very different.

178mph does seem a bit quick to me, esp when 500bhp cossies are only jsut managing that. Granted, it is bloody shifting some, but i dont think its doing nearly 180mph. Its just a fiesta dont forget.

AS for Adams car, if he had the tp250 kit, it would give the frst a damn good run for its money up to around 100mph.

And i have to laugh at the greenstuff pads bit also. If i had that spec, i certainly wouldn't be using greenstuffs

The timing was done at 10 of the Best, so there is absolutly no disputing the speed.

on the spec it has a modified gear box
maybee it has longer gear ratios so it can manage that speed

Sunny hit 169.7mph at TOTB2, in a 1.25 mile straight (I think it was) so an extra 8mph is believable......the car ran VERY nicely on the day!

They had proper timing gear and everything it was all organised by the ford magazine cant remember the name but Sunny had to do the circuit twice to get up to speed
