was on the way home from a day out with the lady, and pulled into the traffic and sat behind this white car with foreign plates, looked very nice, got closer and its a skyline, then read the writing on the back and its some sort of sprint car, evidently its the 0-400m emperor!! whatever that is, he sees my headlight behind him and guns it, so I thought what the hell lets have some fun, he changed gear at just over 100mph and the exhaust shot a bloody great big flame and the back end broke loose, I got showered with gravel and we both carried on going for it, I was starting to worry as was showing 3 times the speed limit on the speedo and he wasnt showing any sign of slowing, then he eased off and I did the same, then caught up with heavy traffic and pulled along side of him, gave each other the thumbs up and he smiled, then points to the writing on the door, it was a list of times etc at the strip, apparently the car is packing 700 bhp, anyone else know anything about it, the reg started with ZZ dont know what country its from but its bloody fast.
oh and I was driving a 1.2 16v corsa LOL nope is 1.2 16V but not a corsa, was on my bike

ok so if it wasnt 700bhp then why the hell was I redlining 2nd 3rd and 4th gear to keep up with it, and a realistic speed of 145-150, this wasnt on a long road either, this was on a country lane, so what sort of power is required in a car to stay with a 140bhp bike!!

too fooking right mate!!! ok so I admit maybe he was lying maybe it was 699 bhp, I have run against most cars etc on the road, and last time the bike went up the strip was a sub 11 second run, havent got the exact details as was a while ago, but would have to be a serious bit of kit to go the way it did..

im not trying to talk you guys down, but when i go to hongkong the jap cars there are fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! exhasuts the size of dustbins and dumpvalves that are loud as fuck!!!! skylines here, there, everywhere... you want to see an evo? round the corner! you want to see a scooby? next street. RX7, SUPRA, NSX, civics, big ass pimped up lexus etc etc
the quality of cars over in japan and hong kong are way better than the quality over here, with the exceptions of norris designs

I am not too far from weston, about an hour away so very good chance was one and the same, made a few calls and now think I know who owns the car, local lad with far too much money, has a supra turbo thing, exact replica of the green one in F&F, think he has bought it as has recently been importing a lot of camper and people carriers from the far east.
Tony
I am off to get the rest of the engine work sorted for the bike, then a hunting I shall go!! LOL wont be happy until have somewhere in the region of 180 bhp at the rear wheel
