TT will understand.. sometimes you have to respect the other peoples privacy....

...besides, I don't want to give away too many of the future test cars identities.. :P ;)

No head-to-head contests this time..

..well, that's not entirely true.... the SLR owner took me out for a serious session of thrashing and we chased down the MTI Z07 fairly quickly. But in his defense, he was out there doing suspension and brake test and tune, so his 427ci, 600bhp, 3000lb, coil-over supended T1 spec MTI Z07 (427ci C5 Z06) was not running at the level he could run it ;)

But it was fun... as these sequetial screen shots from the video show, you catch up in the bends then get left on the straight:

No doubt the car is fun... but you also need a high hp car to fill in the gaps.

I am sure a 250+ hp Caterham could fill the gaps a bit :P

I don't know so much - 50hp may not be enough for 2-up fun - the extra weight of the extra person is immidiatly felt.

Lets say 300hp... ;)

We will have a better bench mark with the Radical and the Ulitma... ooops - I didn't mean to let that slip... :P ;)

Does this mean there is a serious interest in this type of review test?

If so - I will try my best to take personal requests, popular demand and general interest into account when these are arranged.

The take a lot of effort and organizing - so knowing that the results and output are appreciated and enjoyed will help determine how many more happen :)

I am sure an M3 could be arranged ;)

This IS a car forum, what do you think? ;)

I'll request a Veyron test please, and maybe a 250GTO at some stage.

Yes im very interested, M3 would be perfect. Too bad that you dont have the M3 CSL.

Anyway thanks in advance RC. :D
