Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral Norris Designs Evo 9 latest record

you got independently approved proof of that?

read an old "J-tuner" magazine at work today with a feature on the countries best evos at top gears track, the best lap time was a 1.27 IIRC which was faster than such things as the zonda,konigsegg and many many others (only about 5 cars faster round the track than this evo)

The norris designs evo was there too,but couldnt post a lap time cos he broke the rear diff launching then had another transmission problem after replacing the rear diff, i have little doubt inm my mind this car would have lapped quicker than 1.27. By how much i couldnt possibley guess.

on another note,that speed 12!! wow. Those airboxes/inlet manifold make me laugh

One of the reasons why 200MPH+ isnt easily achievable no matter what the car

this is one of 2 top speed vids ive seen that show silly speeds would never be done even the engine can get u there, as well as this vid theres a vid of tiff needell doing a jag XJ220 where at high speed the bonnet tries to lift,bending the hinges,and the wipers HAD to be removed cause they were ripping themselves off. And a lot of official top speed runs are done with parts of trim removed for safety.

Then theres the feature in Evo magazine where an Evo FQ400 goes for its top speed and ends up ripping off half of its trim. High speeds cant be done with the car in road trim,cos the body gets damaged, the XJ220 would need no wipers and bonnet pins to do its top speed safely,and very modern tyres, and i think the veyrons tyres would last about 3 minutes at 250MPH
