if i'm honest, my first reply, i thought you were trying to make a point that an extra 270bhp only made 4.5secs difference and that the money was best spent modifying the handling/grip etc

So basically because Knockhill has 4 main straights, through the power difference she is getting a second up on you on each straight, despite you being able to brake later due to a slower terminal speed. Thus being 4 seconds a head per lap, which is quite alot for such a small circuit.

So basically, you need more balls

Surely this is actually quite obvious ? If car "a" is faster on a straight than car "b", but both cars can corner at the same speed, car "a" will therefore be faster.

Adam, do you think that you could, with a better suspension set up and better tyres be able to match fee's time ?

yes ak you are stating the totally blatantly obvious - hense trolling

although you may be better on the straights gear change wise ect which is why you should drive both cars for a fair comparison

we have basicly achieved that a skyline is faster than a scooby on straights
