benji should have no trouble pulling on a st170, i pulled a good 5-6 car lengths on one up to 110ish
ive luckerly just managed to get a contact at cosworth who is gonna port polish skim and big valve me head for ?200 proper bo
i beat a 270 horse 2wd saphie in my LET nova. lmao. the guy was a nut job aswell and wanted more. we stopped to talk and he said "right i need petrol but hang about and we can have another blast". beat him again. overtook him easily about a ton or so. my car was running standard boost levels and a shitty rs turbo intercooler stuck next to the rad.
after we got it setup good with a cossie frount mounted cooler and 1 bar of boost, had a race with a 300 horse scooby and it couldnt get past me

If you are a shit driver in a skyline, you'll get mashed by a valver. Paxo boys in their vts's get beat by gte's sometimes. some cossies get beat by nova valvers. sometimes a good driver in a slower car will beat your arse off you. i've got an xr3i cab at the moment and i can beat ALL the saxo's in Oldham who I have come up against up to yet, cos I can drive better than the spotty kids who buy saxo's........... but my cab weighs 2 tons and only has 108bhp!!!!!!!!!! All the saxo boys put on an air filter and get 10000000000000000bhp..............
Get busy living, or get busy dying.......................
na i wouldnt say it was down to driver skill in this one, my nova was simply fasterthan the cossie and on a par with the scooby. i know the boys that drive each of the cars and both are hard nut track addicts, both been driving high power cars since i met them.

There's no denying that LET novas are quick, look at the times they get up the pod, but when it comes to the corners etc, scoobies, 4wd cosworths, evo's 8) would leave them for dead.
IMO only very few LET novas times up the quarter mile reflect how quick they ACTUALLY are on the road. when i was racing that cossie, granted, on the corners it was great fun watching the guy get the arse out and he was pullin away from me but not by much(the bilstein suspension seems to do the trick) and on the straights my nova was that much quicker that it more than made up for the diference in the corners.

The on you raced was a 2wd one, not 4wd, you would not keep up with a 4wd through the corners. From driving breeny's nova, I know how early you need to start braking for corners.
agreed, not many 2wd cars will keep with 4wd motors in the corners.
