SLEEMAN

Recommended Posts

we built both the engine for them, charlies is 708hp and andrews is 802,

 

 

60k is not expensive for that car

 

box is 10k

engine bill was over 20k

 

and to compare to a gtr thats silly lol :cheers:

So can I ask where the other circa 30k comes from? :ninja:

 

brake's

diff

wheel's

labour

etc

etc

 

 

if i had the money i'd happily buy this rather than a gtr.

Agreed when you start to build a yoke from scratch from start the money disappears, there are MKII's in national level of rallying costing over that to build so even though it seams expensive i bet it cost a hell of a lot more to build.

 

Some Toy for somebody to play with:)

Worth every penny as i've seen it in action numerous times. It'll pee on a nissan GTR all day long. Its for serious racers only though. If I had the money to run in a saloon car championship (like the scottish sports/saloon car championship that it runs in) then i'd buy it tomorrow.

Standard GTR maybe, they are only at the beginning of learning about them and modding them, nowhere near a GTR's full potential yet but i'll put myself on the line and say that the focus in question is completely at it's max ? :ninja:

 

Off topic slightly I know. :kill:

This thread is just funny to be honest.

 

The comments about its looks make me giggle. I'm sure when AG originally built it, making it look pretty was obviously top of his agenda :rolleyes:

 

The time and effort that goes into something like this is massive, never mind the parts involved. Both this and the newer version are proven race winners built by a company that seems to be pretty highly regarded, and fitted with engines from a highly respected engine builder. I'd be interested on what AG would quote to build one like it from scratch. More than £60k I would wager....

 

Comparing it to a road car is utterly pointless as Stu said.

no its not, another easy 100bhp and with the wider lighter carbon fibre body kit it will fit 10" wide slicks

 

you could shave a second or so off the cars laptimes at the moment

 

but for body kit and wheels its 15k lol !

 

i cant beleive a gtr is even being mentioned to be up with this car lol !

You should know this Jimbo, anything with a GTR badge on is obviously the quickest car in the world ;)
