179!

[ehasler]

Both my Tuscan S and another Tuscan Red Rose recorded the 6th fastest speed at the recent VMax day at Bruntingthorpe - 179mph, beating a 4.5 Cerbie by 1mph, and plenty of other exotica by even more! including all the Ferraris and Maseratis!

Three cheers for the Tuscan!!

Twas indeed a right result.

Equalling Tonys Lambo is quite an achievement I reckon.

British is best, apart from the mad Germans...

[ehasler]

Yep, but how much luggage could you fit into the Ruf?

Also interesting to see how little performance difference there is between the S and the Red Rose...

[plotloss]

Yeah that suprised me too.

Did feel solid so your S must feel stuck to the tarmac with the aero bits and the new suspension points.

One more and you would have got onto Bullseye - 180!

You're 'aving a larf. Same gearing, same engine - I'm surprised the RR didn't eek ahead not having a spoiler to slow it down.

Agreed, those spoilers must weigh a bit

Was you doing max revs when you hit the speed trap?
only asking as when i went the trap was to far forward in the runs i did and had loads of revs left.
Unfortunately couldn't do any when they moved it.

Was interesting when I was in Tony's Cerbie how little difference in grunt there was between that and the Tuscan S...

We were going down the straight agains Alfessex (mmm what a colour) and there was VERY little in it.. I think the cerb was passing slightly if I remember rightly//
