Z Cars R1 Mini In 0-100-0 shoot out.

Have been told that it's in this weeks adition of Auto Car, but didn't do that well.

22 seconds according to Chris.

That was the 160bhp one though I believe...

Going to have to bring that down by 10 Sec's to be in with a chance, but with 350BHP and 12" Disc's as well it's possable. That's the target, as well as a 10 Second Standing 1/4 mile.

[Plotloss]

12" discs?

How are you engineering them in there??

550bhp/tonne, though with good aero sees you a shade under 11 on the 0-100-0

Aero is going to be the biggest issue I can see really. Deseaming rids 40 square inches according to Vizard so thats something but its the rake of the windscreen and the slab frontedness of it all...

[gtrclive]

12" Disc's in 15" wheels are no problem, as far as the Deseaming goes then am leaving the seem above the doors, but removing the rest. But the wheels arches may add alot more than I gain.

[gtrclive]

Don't laugh but after removing most of the floor I put the car back on the floor today, and Yes I sat in it. With a block to lift me to the hieght of what the seat would be, I still had 5" of head room. So a 2" roof chop may still yet be possable. Now that would lower the frontal area and aid less drag etc.

according to autocar, it posted a rubbish time due to it's "temperamental bike 'box"

I wonder how far off the pace it would've been if it had worked properly, and why didn't they use a twin engined one? it was "freaks" after all!

[Fatboy]

IIRC the twin R1 engined one has never run up the strip in anger, and Matt Fox was flogging it in the classifieds on here a while ago...
