I did a track day at Anglesey last year and started one session with an R8 behind me. Didn't see it again. I was 2-up with an instructor so not
ideal in a BEC and my driving isn't the best by a long way. I got caught by a Nobel M400 in the same session just as the instruction started to
help and then pulled away.

pose-a-bility of course. 
Audi R8 quarter mile time 12.601 seconds @ 113.08mph
0-100mph in 9.91 seconds with a top speed of 187mph
You might have a chance of beating the R8 in the first but definitely not the second.

I would according to the gear calculator with my 3.09 diff ratio at 7450rpm my car will be doing 230 mph 
just collected a new turbo which is a bit bigger than the old one (pictured next to it) but i still dont think its big enough to do 230 mph

even the stock rx7 turbo would be huge for a diesel engine, you would never spool it up.
I used a 2.5L landrover discovery diesel turbo on my 1200 cc motorbike and it was way too small........

I wasn't talking for my mondeo!
Mind you I think I'd be banned from building it if the first part I came home with was a turbo unit

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

£80 grand on an overweight, overpriced mongrol of a car or an Ultima for less than half the price!
Re the "old fart" driving slowly, I had a similar experience when the 959 had just been launched. One went past me with a line of traffic
behind it....
