Default [video] 0 to 270-280 kph in 951 Cup

Here is a small video made with my Turbo Cup car while going to the track

Video Turbo Cup - 5,7 Mb
It needs DivX 5.05 or superior

I left the foot off the gaz at 270-280 kph but the car is still taking speed. Sorry, this is a bit dark but you should be able to calibrate your screen to see the video

It would seem the Germans have actually left something good in France : the Autobahn.

Well, 75,000 kms is pretty high for a Cup car.

This one has got 18,000 kms, engine and transmission never opened and runs like a dream.

Nice video- the passenger holding the camera was a little shaky, but... I'm wondering though- & please don't take this wrong, but- I think your speedo is off slightly- not much, but- what gears do you have? You never broke 6200rpms which is only 162mph (260kph)- 280 = 175, but, again, would be well above stock redline w/stock RD tires AND stock gearing, etc... REDLINE is 167mph (267kph). At any rate, the speedos are often off by a tiny bit, but no matter how you look at it, that's pretty strong- I noticed your boost gauge, etc- you had run through 3rd in 14 seconds- not sure if you started from a dead-stop, roll-on, or, full throttle launch either- the full-throttle launch will always provide faster 0-60 / 1/4 mile times than a 5-60 roll-on or 5mph - 1/4 mile roll-on, etc- you appeared to be taking it fairly easy- 3rd gear redlines 99mph & you cut it a hair short, which is the best way anyway for optimum accel, but, then shifted gently, etc, so, probably ~95mph @ 14.0 sec- stock Turbo S was 14.2 ~ 101 1/4 mile- my point? You're car seems pretty strong- I noticed the boost gauge readings- I'd say w/a full throttle launch & decent shifting, you'd probably be capable of low 13's- not sure how you'd do up high, but, 951's are always consistent in higher speed acceleration in relation to their 0-60 & 1/4 mile times, despite what many may think- I would like to achieve about 300rwhp @ ~17psi- I would expect similar to what you're getting- I think I'd be fairly happy there, as long as reliable & your car seems to be doing well... thanks for the video...
