PASSED!!!

On to do battle with the VRO....

Well having a V8 CEC rush previously i must say the my BEC rush is very fast indeed and a lot more fun (although frantic and tyring in a fun way).
If anyone saw an orange blur going from Herts to beds chances are it was me!

What power did you have in the V8 CEC and what weight was it? I'm still mincing around between BEC and CEC.


Blackbird Rush - 1/9/10 at 09:17 PM

V8 was std vitesse 3500cc so about 190hp car weighed in at approx 750kgs all up.

Bec 1100cc is 600kgs all up with approx 140hp

That's interesting, your V8 had higher power to weight ratio - what makes the difference in feel, assuming you had them geared to similar max speeds?

Different diff ratios 3.62 in the V8 and 3.38 in the Bird , the gearing it totally different in the bird as the box is close ratio compaired to the V8 so accelleration is much quicker as are the gear changes, top end would be similer as the areo factor is the restriction, even though in theory the gearing would take you well beyond a ton.
