i'm thinking of doing it with my nova (will be getting corsa soon)
its only a 1.3sr with a full exhaust system but its ripe for ragging along the backroads of leamington

Drew... you have obviously never driven a FWD with any decent power? As soon as it looses traction it just flys round to the limiter, not a lot I can do about it...
The smoke is because of a bit too much oil in, thats now sorted with a full oil change.....
And off the lights, it was a classic 1st to 5th gear change LOL

Not bad.Seems a bit slow though at the start when Drew mentioned you hitting the limiter? Would have thought it would fly in that situtation.

I've done a few vids in the past Tim, where I was hurtling towrds the camera at a silly fast rate, yet when I watched it back it didn't seemthat quick, so having done all of this and knowing what speeds I was doing (afterall I was driving the thing) I would say you were quick on the vids, but the film didn't show it.

I've a vid on my PC of the old A1 rallye sport rwd cossie focus (500+bhp) tearing it up and down a duel carrageway. I knew it was fast, but didnt get a feeling for it on vid...
So I knew when I put these on it wouldn't look anything like it does in real life.
Best vid i could probably do is go from a rolling start, have camera facing backwards, and pull away from something like a scooby?
Its like when i came towards the camera in the countryside bit, I'm in 3rd gear changing into 4th at decent revs.... gotta be an easy 70ish? Doesn't look it though!
