wot we would like to know issss!

whats the quickest N/A nova (withot the use of noz)
whats the quickest Turbo nova without noz again?

probably more of a true figure then! not knocking the noz boys. But i just respect times done by a car that dont need to use it!

hmmm i raced that down santa pod, it beat me by about 200 meters :(

2.1 turbo, nitrous, 8v might i add lol
Cant remember full spec but im sure i can get it!!!!!

NOS deserves to be classed as it is used on many road cars, as long as the engine is capable it can be used by anyone with a bit of sense.

Declan Burke compiled a list of times from various sized engines. From what I can remeber the VBH Nova ran a 13.7 or something around that. 2.0 16v on throttle bodies.

Was on the novaload shootout day:

Jon shield 13.648 2.0 16v swindon head TB's LSD st cut box etc etc
Darren ludlam (luggy) 13.729 2.0 16v 45's LSD
Alex haines 13.819 2.0 16v LET
Martin Kelson14.066 48's LSD

Dec Burke 14.78 1.6 16v TB's

others
Ste 14.85 2.0 16v
MC 15.18 1.68v 40's
Me 15.34 1.6 8v 40's LSD

was an epic day - nearly 40 people ran up the strip
MC and Ian did a great job rounding everyone up to make sure they came from far and wide and also made sure all the times got sorted for everyone to see

One thing your list proves CP is how the performance bar has moved. A nova running under 14secs was a big deal then, now every man and his dog puts a LET lump in and runs a sub 14sec 1/4. Having said that their are some different combos out there running quick times, like your 1.4 and Neils 1.6 8V Turbo.
