Re: Flickr group for the Coupe. Can they not do maths!
We have all the proof, rolling road plot drag times etc, the only thing I do not have is proof that the nitrous shot is what i say it is but mathematically it works out to be around that figure. I wonder what they thought to be wonky.

Re: Flickr group for the Coupe. I'm not disputing the facts, I've seen it with my own eyes.
I'm not knocking your achivements in any way whatsoever, I can't match them.
It was discussed whilst debating power figures and 1/4 times and what they had achived with their drag project.
We got talking about GTM's and eventually a red Honda powered coupe came into the chat, I gave them the figures, weight and times.
They then discussed your car between themselves for a while and thought that the power to weight and the 1/4 time was very very good, to the point that there was a disagreement between them as to weather the power figures, and or weight were correct.
They thought that to achieve what you have, that the power figures were a bit low or the weight was to heavy.
