This 3.5 stage is provided by Regelin.

Hey Herman,

Nice car ! I won't follow you to that level of power, as it will take me long to use more than 95% of my engine power

I steel need to find big brakes. Are you happy with the AP 4 pots ? Do they need a special treatment as they have no dust protectors ?
two more questions : Did you weighted them ? Did you weighted your seats are it seems VERY unreal to be below 4 kg as they anounced 1.8 kg...

My car is weighting 849 kg today without fuel but I still need to place the carbon body, the alloy tank, and some other stuff so I will reach this weight by few weeks only.

See you perhaps on track in the Netherlands ! (I planned to go to Zandvoort this year, perhaps the 27/06)

Cheers

Don't expect less than 2.9-3 kg without cushion...

One of my friend you perhaps know (V.) has just tested his 3.5, same weight as mine :
100-140 km/h (4th) : 2.4s

400m D.A.: 12,2s

Nice figures!
But a Z06 will hit 100 in 3.9s (manufacturer figure

), and 200 in 12s. So g-forces will not say a lot in this case

It depends if you believe the newspapers and official stuf or your own mesures...

Looks like a lot of wheelspin for the Z06 in first gear

I don't know

I will post my own datas when ready to compare.

¼mile: 12.2s@191.25km/h

I did the ¼mile in 11.9s driving a stage 3 (285bhp) and Drag Radials, but never got over 179km/h

(Probably the slicks slowing me down...)

I just received my new tank:

Aluminium made, compartimented, filled with FIA foam, anti starvation system, capacity + 10L, only 6,7 kg against the 10,9 kg OEM.

Great, shaves more then 4Kg of the car.
Where is the tank situated?
I'm looking for weightsavings but only at the middle/back of the car to have a slightly better weight balance.
Any suggestions??

rapidos · Bericht door **rapidos** » 16 apr 2008 17:53

The tank is perfectly located, close to the ground behind your back when driving.
Do not forget the perfect balance is not 50/50, but 40/60 like F1 cars...

Yes, i know.
But the speedstar NA is almost 30/70 or something i believe.
That's why i'm looking for (relatively easy) weight savings at the back of the car.

Before you start spending zo much money on "I believe" things, you might want to understand what the weight distribution really is

The last time I weighed my 2.2 it had 340 on front axle and 520 on the rear, with approximately 20liters of fuel on board. This makes exactly a 40/60% distribution
