I trap 113 and no n2o just 204 at the wheels

Assume XE Nova's are a bit lighter? Is yours stripped out?

Maybe mine's only making 204bhp / standard power then, maximum I ever trapped was 108.92mph...

Hmmmm :(

13.5

Mine is a wheel figure so flywheel is 240.2 according to the rollers but thats a calculated figure and both figures will vary between rollers! I have seen mine at 280 before but its not believable!!

My mk1 MR2 turbo ran 13.4 @ 100 mph with 280bhp so no idea how some of these times make sense but they are obviously right. That was a 2.0 60ft time!

Obviously weight comes into it somewhere but a really rusty mk1 MR2 isn't that heavy!

Lee tbh i think luck and maybe a tail wind was on my side that day as all other runs were 13.7 13.8s around 101-103mph

And as i posted on my wip i whent last weekend an there was 12-15mph head winds, so my bests were 14.0 @ 99.9mph

But least they were cositant an all other guys run times were down by around or more the hath a second too, so not just me.

I raced an Mr2 turbo rev3 at york, it was very nice and had a big front mount intercooler.

He did a best of 13.0 @ 107. something .... I asked him about the power and he said about 280ish, I think he was running more like 320bhp I don't think he had a clue as he had just bought it! I was only just reeling him in when I got grip.

My old mr2 turbo rev2 with about 225 (standard ish) did 14.3 @ 95mph

RE: headwinds, interesting point... There was a pretty strong headwind blowing about 15/20 degrees off the runway centreline (20mph I woud say as it was freezing!). Possibly makes a difference with a brick shaped nova. ?

I know I got 104.5mph at the beginning of the day, and I think the wind was stronger then. Towards the end of the day the wind dies down... then I was trapping 107/108.

i managed a 14.92 on a c20xe nova standard tyre pressure on budgets full trim at york at 90.8 mph, not the most impressive time but it held its own against other cars in its class
