What's the terminal speed of your average Cup on the 1/4 and what times do they hit?

Also what did mehdi do, was it a 13.2? What was his terminal?

Ta.

medhi ran a 13.4 at around 100 mph i think

A standard cup would have a low 90's terminal speed

Mehdi got a 13.4 @ 103-104 iirc...

as Jan also says, low 90's is average.

it's 220bhp practically and I think your average quick tined Cup with same mods as Chris' would run mid to high 14's. Chris' is certainly the quickest Cup. Apparently someone ran a 13.9... but after seeing the vids of the guy racing I'd say that was a timing error. lol

I think they were doing about 14.7-15.0 the last time I saw some race at York. Beat a few in the Valver but only because my RT's are usally .5-.600 lol.

See ya

It was Timos Cup that got a 13.9@99mph...he was always getting 14.0`s so I don`t think it was a timing error...what vids have you seen Jon? He used to get pretty much perfects starts and was very consistant.....just hoping my new engine will be as good as the last one...seems good so far even with only a couple of hundread miles on it...

Well I have said for a while that it hasn`t been quite as quick as it used to be but couldn`t find what it was. I recently when very `tappety` so I took it in to Renault. They said it was the cam follwers that needed replacing...they got back to me and said they were going to fit a new engine instead as the cams and a few other bits needed doing as well!!!! On warrenty! Just running it in now and it already feels quick without even taking the revs too high...Renault Preston were superb, I had a courtresy car for the 4 weeks it was in and there were now problems at all

I know...they really were great....went in with exhaust and decat as well! I do know a few people there and Matt used to work there so maybe I had special treatment...it`s killing me being gentle (well a little). Just going to make sure it gets regular oil changes as I did neglect the old engine on oil...usually just topped it up when it needed it and changed it at service, not good when you`re revving to 8k!

dunno mate, the only 3 vids I have of him he does the same thing each time, hits the limiter to buggery in 1st and then gets left... looks to give up as soon as he hears the limiter noise :?

Starts seem pretty awesome...I've pulled a 99.98 mph terminal but still can't get those times...tbh though I don't think he's come close to those times since that was late 2004.

Well he has got a new golf Gti so we`ll have to see how that does..no doubt it`ll have a fair few mods on it soon enough
