'the pod' - Santa Pod - Is the best drag strip in the UK is it not.
Purpose laid, prepared - if thats 'shit' dont try anywhere else as that will require new definitions of levels of shitness

I get more grip on the road, that's not my opinion, that's fact, I cannot spin in 3rd gear on the road, I can spin with ease in 3rd up Pod. And I only have 260bhp 
Granted I haven't done North Weald or anywhere else, but I don't think for a purpose built sticky bit of track, that it's good at all. I don't care what else runs up there, it's shit

Go on a test and tune day or a proper rwyb the track is much better than at the shows, as they don't prep it as well most of the time because the rwyb cars just spread crap all over it.

His terminals are the same as our R32 GTR when it had 570bhp. He has the power just not the setup, tyres, surface.

Just wondering who's has more bhp speckys or nic's. And what nic's fastest 1/4. Been bugging me lol
mine was mapped a couple of week ago at 581bhp flywheel.
best time on treads 10.74 slicks 10.44
wow  wish I had the brains to create a machine like that.
You can replace brains with money
Not when it is built by himself you can't. Idiot.
EDIT: Just corrected the post as the same spastic that probably has only had a 1.2 8v Corsa also cannot fucking quote properly.
