just wondering the best cars people have beaten in their cars, thought the results might be quite suprising and encourage others to go down the turbo route *smiley*

And a crap one!
I cant comment on the mini turbo yet, but I can say if you have the chance get a 2.0 valver in a golf! It'll beat some silly silly things!

Every front engined 16v mini with the exception of Tony Wells - I always seem to lose by 0.1 seconds to him for some reason!

It's great fun seeing a lot of the 16v guys reaction - especially those with 'dubious' power claims!

Proven 200+bhp & Avon Park 05,06,07 Class D 3rd place

Can't think of best beat as there have been a few, but best keep up with 30 mph to 100 mph was a my mates 500 bhp surpa turbo and a moded skyline.

haven't really had any good ones of late.

Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph
First 5 port miniturbo to make over 200 bhp on a carb?

Yep that was a good race, he only pulled away when my lag kicked in in 3rd gear, caught up to his speed when my turbo kicked in though. He was a good driver, and watching the flames pop with his fast gear changes was a right laugh whilst controlling the torque steer!

The most satisfying is always the Works BMW Cooper S - the look on the drivers face is always priceless. And Porsche Boxster S drivers don't take too kindly when you sit on their bumper either.

You should see how happy people are when I'm in the Sabre Sprint. Cooper S is always a favorite.
