Light rinsing of IROC

[Giblets]

Coming back from the Cambridge meet.....

Just for the hell of it I dialled up an estimated 120mph in the IROC coming back down the A507 between Stotfold and Shefford on a 2 mile straight.

I say 'estimated' as I only have the 85mph speedo, but lots of cars were going backwards fast and it took forever to get back down to 30 to tackle the roundabout.

I would have videod it to the theme of the Lost Boys soundtrack (ala HRC) but there's no point when the needle runs out of room!

Seems the fuelling is working fine anyway as I was bouncing it off the limiter in third with no complaints!

NB: If you are Plod, the above is a joke.

BWAAHHAHHAHHAHAH!!!

[HardRockCamaro]

Hehe!!!

I have no idea how fast I've taken the IROC, the speedo runs out at 115mph and it had gone well past that.

Mine really needs the suspension etc sorting before I do anything like that again (the reason I didn't do my original plan of passing 100,000 at top speed).

Well done though!
(the stock brakes suck at those speeds don't they?!)

Don't worry about it , it's only a six month ban and being forced to re-take an extended test

I only floor past it 100mph now if I've done a recky both ways down the road first and there are no unmarked police cars.

Anybody got a 1/4 mile long drive ?

The fastest I've had the Z28 is about 130mph . . . or that's where it would've been if I didn't have the 85mph speedo, too.

Also, I found using the V-Box, that my speedo reads UNDER.

ie. at 100mph my speedo says about 94mph . . . so . . .

EDIT - Also this was really a dream and wasn't witnessed by anyone . . . . officer.

Yep they are not up to the job of hauling such a large lump of iron down from those speeds.

I just love the fact that unlike hot hatches, these cars pull as well between 70 and 100mph as they do between 50 and 70mph!

I would have loved to have heard me roar past at 4500rpm in third!

Oh you mean the 138mph run past the speed camera DOH !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm trying to get to 19th Dec to get a clean licence, trouble is the ban will always have to be declared to the insurance company, even though it's off my licence

The fastest I've had the Z28 is about 130mph

According to my Garmin bought after the above incident 151mph

BWAAHHAHHAHHAHAH!!!

Fancy running it up against my lil 4th gen at all?

I could get it on tape for shits and giggles (I'd blank out the number plates of course).

Although last srping I came back down that road late at night, flat out off each round about and brake as alate as possible, its amazing how easy it is to top 140mph between them.

I did wear out a set of brake pads on that journey though.

55 miles cross country in 53 mins. Normally take 1h 20 when the roads are clear if you drive normal :)

[Giblets]

Let me guess.... loser fills both cars up?

Don't tempt me mate!

Even though I'd lose badly, it would be a laugh.

I'd race Fubar and Roadkill as that would be a bit closer, but your 4th gen would destroy mine.

Still the noise alone would be heard several miles away.

[Rocky]

would you race mine when its done?

Sounds surprisingly similar to the STS.

After I rebuilt the gearbox, though.

Depends mate.

If I say yes, how do I know you won't smuggle some anti-smog equipment under the hood next time my car's in for work before we race?



I'll race the V6 Mustang boys anyday though!

Well lets see how many have the balls to sign up for next seasons SRS

I nearly got a camaro shell to put a full blown motor in but it fell through at last minute.

I don't mind giving the Camaro a thrashing every now and then . . . . Or even the Caddy if people are feeling brave enough to share a road with that thing when she gets a rollin'.

Not sure I've got the time to dedicate to SRS, though, after talking to Pod at the weekend . . .

its 6 events over 7 months mate

[Roadkill]

Exactly . . . That's another 6 free days I'll lose.

And next year I'll have the Caddy to do . . . as well as decorating the bathroom, finishing upstairs and tidying the front garden and completely re-do the back garden.
Then I've got to re-do the guttering front and back and replace the fascia boards above the spare bedroon . . .
Also I want to re-build the workshop extension in brick if I have the time.



No, no SRS for me next year . . .

there 1 day events mate

[Roadkill]

Already edited it . . . but still that's a massive amount of days to lose.



Plus what would I run ?

To run the 'Maro it needs new springs, front shocks, new gearbox . . . . .

At the moment I have more important things demanding more of my money . . .

I wouldn't mind, but I'm not sure partly because of costs and lack of tyres for use at the strip. Plus I think some events would clash with off roading events I take part in.

I'm not worried about any money or stakes just do it for the hell of it :)

Sure why not, it's all good fun. You win some, you loose some, thats just the nature of racing.

Costs this year were £20 to join and then normal RWYB prices for racing.
I've been running on bog standard street tyres this year and 98% likely to stay that way next year.
It's only as expensive as you make it.
