I can say about this monster that it shifts through 1st, 2nd and 3rd on a distance of 30m and takes more time to shift gears then the time the rpm goes up :D

Mando ..... don't be too hard on 'gut' ...... it takes 2.5secs for an impulse to jump from one 'gut' synapse to another. You see he only has the two brain cells he was conceived with and one of those comes from a monkey.

Yeah, I mean running on to someone on the internet with a Zonda is rare enough. Specify the model, rarer. A one off custom Zonda F with twin turbos and 1200 hp?

You gotta ask your self what is more likely, they have the car, or they are lying.

When someone says they have a Corvette, ok, I can believe that, an M3, sure. A Ferrari, that's a stretch - a TT Zonda?! Doubtful.

As for who who banned him, I dunno for sure, but I have a pretty good idea.

2002 Acura RSX (Honda integra for the euros)

160 hp stock
Exhaust is completely redone from the headers back, eliminating the cat. My guess is maybe another 10 horse from that?

Absolutely no idea about 0 - 60mph, but it's no turtle.

Redline absolutely screams, which is great fun.

I've had it at 210 km/h, which is quite fast in my books, but not the right exhilaration department that this car was meant to deliver in. The most fun I have in it is throwing it into corners and accelerating out of sweepers.

It's only downside, It doesn't have a type-S badge on the trunk.

Honda Civic EK4

~165bhp @ 7600
~115lbft @ 6000

0-60 - Stock is 7.6, with the quaiffe diff, lightened flywheel, lightweight wheels and slightly more power than stock I reckon it could manage a sub 7. Never bothered to actually time it though.

Top speed, no idea, tracking is out so it wanders too much at high speed. Had 120mph with a little more to go.

2004 Chevrolet Cavalier
Horsepower : 140 hp @ 5600 rpm
Torque : 150 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm

Top speed : 112 mph(electronically limited)
0-60 mph : 8.0 sec.
0-¼ mile : 16.2 sec @ 85.0 mph
60-0 braking distance : 130 ft
200 ft skidpad : 0.80 g

Curb Weight : 2749 lbs

Done the top speed, but that's nothing special. Added an intake filter with my fancy custom tubing so the 0-60 is most likely 7.999999 sec now.

Suspension isn't good and the transmission is worse, but having slightly worn rear tires helps it's fwdness, and I bet crashing it into a brick wall is the only way to improve the transmission. I'm going to have it as long as I can though, make my dollars stretch.

Since then it has broken in fully (only had about 1500 miles on the car when it was dynoed), I have installed a fan clutch to replace the solid-mount steel fan, and put on a bigger air filter. I expect another 15+ hp from these.

The 289 (4.7L) only made 200-250hp when new. (EDIT: IIRC)
Definately not at the wheels, and I don't know if that figure is gross or net etc...

jcp123
11-10-2008, 07:35 AM
Yeah, 289's with the two barrel put down 130hp @ the wheels in good original tune. They can be made into much stronger runners, but that's not what we went for. The body integrity isn't there for a whole lot of speed.

A cam alone would have made a big difference because stock cams are especially conservative, and there are some head options which would have backed up a slightly beefier cam, but we consciously chose to pass on those options when building the motor. The car's a cruiser, after all.

yeah i would recomend fitting them, or the nismo equivalents. they hardly fade after hard driving. but youve got that extra power so were even :)

EDIT: I wouldnt take my car without the ironing board. It completes the early gen. manual/Diamond graphite look

When you make claims like this, people are unsurprisingly sceptical. I am highly doubtful of this claim - UCP has seen many people come and go and claim to have all manner of cars - the internet seems to be a breeding ground of liars and people with histrionic personalities. If this is your car, how did you manage taking the roughly 500kg off the base model weight of the 300C? This seems ludicrous frankly - a weight reduction of this magnitude it highly unlikely and very impractical.

Anyways, if you want to shut us up, take some pics of the car and show us the mods - including one of a piece of paper with your user name on the gearstick - this is called an Eggnog test after the UCP member that came up with it to prove that you own it. Mind you, why do we need proof of a car that has had a 500 kg weight reduction anyways? The probability of deception is huge.

thats not my issue at all. i would expect someone with those upgrades to know its a startech supercharger, and borla exhaust, and that they dont do suspension. thats why im throwing the bullshit flag.

hey it is genuine just because i haven't done something doesn't mean it wont happen. it's a cheap car with high hp. it's for me and it can be done have you ever heard of "red victor 1" it a vauxhall with 2000 hp and does 0-60 in under 1 second he has done it the only difference is he had the car and im designing it.

problem is that with posts like yours you scare away the people who do have interesting and fast cars, and you would be surprised to know who are actually members here. There is no reason to join the crowds when they do stupid things.

My car. 1993 Citroen AX 1.5 naturally aspirated diesel. 58 bhp and 0-60 in approx 14.5 secs.

i also have a 950cc AX with 49 bhp and similar performance as the diesel. this car is a real lightweight and came off the weighbridge at 748 kg with driver and 40 litres of petrol

i alsop have a U.S spec HYUNDAI Coupe or Tiburon 1.8 16v "world" engine that produces about 135 bhp and 0-60 in about 10 secs.

Max power: 215 bhp

I've gathered these specs from different Esprit sites. Please be aware that I have never actually tested any of these. Although, I have driven up to about 145 mph. The needle on my speedometer was bouncing around like crazy so that's my best estimated guess.

sounds like a blast. i bet that car is a riot to drive. with the no power steering, and the handling that only lotus can deliver, i bet that this is just great.

where in the bay area do you live? i live down in monterey, and regularly go up to danville.

Yeah, she drives beautifully at high speeds. Although, trying to make a u-turn or parallel park is a bit strenuous :) All the other cars that I've ever owned had power-steering :D

I live in Benicia, about 35 miles north/east of San Francisco. It's great to see another Bay Area person here. I haven't been in that area for a few years. I stayed at the Best Western Inn in Salinas (off of 101) for a few months (not weekends) while I worked at the California State Prison in Soledad (CTF).

thats a nice area up there... pretty convenient to Infineon. as convenient as Laguna is to me. any intentions on tracking the esprit? that would be an awesome day for sure.

there seems to be quite a few of us central CA coast guys on here. i know kingofthering and maybe NuclearCrap are also in the SF area.

That's right, it's called Infineon Raceway now....I keep calling it Sears Point :D
I never thought about tracking it.....sounds like a good idea. Maybe after the holidays and when you're in the Danville area again, we could meet up and test drive my Esprit and your G35 (I never drove one of those before).

I got my 350Z up to 140 for the first time last night, it still had a bit left as well, although above 100mph the acceleration isnt as strong as some other cars ive been in.

For instance my best friend has an 03 911 C4S and he had intake and a ecu reprogrammed over the holidays. We got it to 172 last friday!! thats by far the fastest ive been in a car. He claimed to have hit 183 over the holidays. The main difference between his car and mine is the stability at high speed, his car at 160 is like mine at 120 and the car come alive above 100mph. It just becomes an entirely different car. This is the difference between my car and a real thoroughbred. his was designed for the autobahn and nurburgring mine was designed for handling and tsukuba.

Years ago,

There used to be a Performance Index. It needed the 0-60(mph) the 30-70 (or 30-90) and I think the 60-0. These were added together and divided by the car's overall fuel consumption to arrive at this index figure.
In the mid 1990's I seem to remember the GM Nova/Corsa 1.5TD was at about the #1 position.
I've tried Googling it and can't find anything now.
Relying on memory it may have come from Autocar magazine or maybe Bill Blydenstein.

Anybody?
