Speedster Turbo acceleration 100 to 200 to 260km/h

[bimsi100]

Dein Speedster hat viel leistung , aber wenn man das rennen mit dem Turbo vom regelin macht , dann säh das ganze anders aus . :D

Grüße bims

[Psychopathis]

i was scared enough going 200km/h how did you manage 260? i have the n/a. those turbo front splitters, are any good at those speeds? nice vid/car!

[VXstage3]

@Psychopathis The Speedster yet even goes beyond 270, I do not know the real top speed because it is not really nice to go this fast with this little car. The standard turbo "lips" are not really an aerodynamic improvement. I have mounted a front splitter and an aluminium rear diffusor which makes high speed driving *much* more safe, the car sucks itself to the ground, you can feel it very strong. With original setup doing more than 200 was very unstable indeed.

[Psychopathis]

@VXstage3 Thanks! can you send me some pics of your front splitter? i hope that its not something extreme... (diffuser is in my plans). thank again!

[Psychopathis]

@VXstage3 is that at 0:19? (ms)

[VXstage3]

@Psychopathis Yes, this WAS the one I have mounted making the video. Yet I have another one. Car's still undergoing changes. :)

You find the actual splitter here: rennsport. maintools. de /-p- 49588. html (without any spaces)

[Psychopathis]

@VXstage3 woah! very nice! you know there is a guy that has toped his spdstr with 300km/h+ !!! its a beautiful car and i love it!

[Nandogsi]

Speedster das auto!!!!!!

[lober21]

dein auto geht gut aber das mit der hayabusa da fühlt man sich schon verarscht hoffe sehe dein kumpel nie auf der ab fahre auch nurn 4 cyl. turbo mr2  flen

[Robyn18737]

1 more question can u show me how you and where you took your camera?

i just wanted to film like that 2 :)

[Robyn18737]

can you just see anything?

you look so small in there xD

[fromgermany79]

Was das VX performance tuning angeht bin ich mir nicht ganz sicher. Projekt opel verwendet ab 265 ps bereits andere Pleuel und kolben. Ich denke für Leistungen ab 300 ps wird das unverzichtbar. VX macht nichts in diesr Hinsicht, was die Standhaftigkeit der Maschine in Frage stellt.

[golf1diesel]

are these times on a GTECH or just speedometer?? nice car

[VXstage3]

@golf1diesel That was the Speedo. Today I use racelogic GPS-based equipment and the acceleration is still better than in this video. Did some decent tuning since then. I love this car for it's performance. Don't care if it's an Opel. :)

[golf1diesel]

@VXstage3 there are dacia logans with 1.6 with Mercedes kompressor getting 170 hp and they are fast like a Golf 3 VR6 :D so important are only weight and hp in a straightline..and aerodynamics ofc..i like the Speedster..how many manufacturers have a car like Elise or Speedster?

[rottepung666]

@VXstage3 hahaha i am sure you do..why haven`t anybody seen the vbox data???hmmm wonder wonder....if you haen`t tuned this car more than last last time, it`s physical impossible to improve acceleration data on a gps measurement.. because a speedo is always weeeey off @ leat in does speeds.. we had a opel astra tdci or somthing like that. and i put the vbox in the window the speedo was accurate as hell up to 170kph gps just 6.7kph off. but we hit 240kph on the speedo and the gps told us 208.1kph

[TTCro]

with a longer 5th gear this thing would go over 300km/h for sure

[POMKI3]

great movie

[myrule12]

how much coast u all that??

[bixprvpl]

@myrule12 it's important? It's FUNcar

[myrule12]

@bixprvpl YEAH

[MadBlazer89]

dude nice car....i wish you many Km's with no problems:)

[VXstage3]

thx a lot! hopefully it will last some time. i'm just building it up getting some more hp, the video was at 287hp/254Nm, this year it had 294hp/474Nm and in spring it may have some 300 to 310hp. the z20let engine is a real workhorse. a steam engine :)

[theincredibledeus]

7:00

immer über mittelspurschleicher aufregen und wat is dat da?????

wenn jetzt von hinten mehrere Autos kommen würden?? xD

[phisimo]

...its all about weight. and a well balanced engine

[anton777best1]

Досить цікаве відео. А взагалі молодець добре попрацював.8)

[Hurlibutz]

starting with only 3rd gear at this tempo?!?!

that's INSANE!!!

[VXstage3]

Why insane? It's a quite normal ratio, third gear tops out at some 160km/h (95mph). So at 80km/h you just have some 3300 rpm...

[Hurlibutz]

so there must be some difference between regular cars...

i usually use the 4th gear (out of 5) at 50 km/h, and then the 5th until 120 km/h (limit)

[sebekkk1]

he would lend sie 6 run

[VXstage3]

grmoczki?

[alexi077]

lass die leute babbeln.. der motor wird das aushalten.

Mein cousin hat nen 1.6 Vtec und der hält das schon länger aus... naja nur die kolben und die pleulstangen wurden 2 mal gegen( endlich) geschmiedete ausgetauscht.

Glückwunsch zum auto! Es fehlt nur noch ein 6gang getriebe...

[hydrobionik]

@alexi077 hehehe,ja...und ich hab das m32 vom lel,mit langem 6. gang und nem sperr-diff....

[tosscops]

This car is amazingly quick :D

I'm getting the Turbo version in a few months and plan to upgrade it to a Stage 3 power upgrade.

But this makes me want it even more :(

[cbr600rrtugaboy]

your car is pretty fast.but you can't compare with bikes.very nice video.beast machine.i love the speedster

[VXstage3]

we just compared it in the way to show how bad ass fast the turbo hayabusa accelerates still going 160mph. the owner is a friend of mine and we just had some fun together. :)

[AntiBlingBling]

Ja das sieht ordentlich aus :) Mit den Serienscheibchen rennt man sich bei der Leistung auch schnell das Hirn ein.... 900 Kilo sind allerdings wenig, bist Du nur mit Felgen und Auspuff so weit runter gekommen oder hast du noch andere Modis wie Motorsportbatterie etc. verbaut? Und noch eine für mich sehr wichtige Frage: Ist das permanente, nervtötende Bremsen-Schleifen nach Umbau verschwunden? Gruß und Sorry für das Löcher-in-den-Bauch Gefrage....

[VXstage3]

Räder wiegen weniger, ein paar andere Kleinigkeiten, etwa 900kg. Vielleicht 910. Plus Fahrer, der das wieder versaut. Bat ist normal.

Quietschen der Bremsen in Konfigurationsfrage. Mit meinen Compound-Scheiben quietscht es mit Ferodo DS2500 nicht, mit Pagid RS14 hingegen unerträglich. Muss man jeweils austesten.

[AntiBlingBling]

Tolle Fahrleistungen, absolut kein Vergleich zur ohnehin nicht lahmen Serie. Da macht schon alleine das Zusehen Spass :))) Hast Du andere Kolben und Pleuel verbaut oder ist die Hardware Serie? Ich spiele auch mit dem Gedanken, einen Radikalumbau über Winter durchzuziehen, scheue aber noch die Kosten und den Aufwand. Beim Speedster kommt man ja immer vom Einen ins Andere.... :]

[VXstage3]

Keinerlei Änderungen an Block oder Kopf! Das war für mich die Voraussetzung, damit im Falle des Defekts leicht und kostengünstig Ersatz beschafft werden kann. Fahre nun schon seit 7/06 mit 261, dann ab 10/06 mit 284 und seit 02/09 mit 294PS und 474Nm herum, ab und zu sogar Trackdays. Was nicht kaputt geht: der Motor! :)

[AntiBlingBling]

Ich bin beeindruckt, Rennstrecke und der Motor steckt`s einfach weg... Hast du andere Einspritzdüsen verbaut und sind die Ausgleichswellen draußen? Kupplung sinter oder organisch? Wie gesagt, tolle Performance, Dein kleiner Flitzer..!! :DDD

[VXstage3]

Das stimmt natürlich:

- Ausgleichswellen raus

- 440cm³-Bedüsung

- organische Sachs (noch die gute alte, die mit Asbest), die Serienkupplung ging bereits bei 450Nm komplett durch

[AntiBlingBling]

Das wird bei mir auch im Winter anstehen, samt K04 Sport Lader. Nur was ich mit der Bremse anstelle, weiss ich nicht. Hast Du die Kobra verbaut? Bin noch am überlegen, ob Zimmermannscheiben, Sportbeläge & Stahlflex fürs erste reichen oder nicht.

[VXstage3]

Bremse:

Seriensättel, vorne Adapterbrücke für 308mm

Scheiben 308/288mm innenbelüftet Compound

Beläge Ferodo DS2500

Stahlflex rundum

an der Vorderachse modifizierte Luftleitschaufeln von Porsche Motorsport

-> absolut rundstreckenstabil

Allerdings wiegt der Speedster leer auch nur 900kg, daher sind das etwas andere Verhältnisse als üblich

[jonnytheonly]

Absolut cooles Fahrzeug mit extremer Performance. Das Auto wird von den meisten unterschätzt. Ich weis wovon ich spreche, ein Bekannter hat einen 2.2er Speedster Turboumbau. Dieses Auto ist einer der besten Performancecars in dieser Klasse. Einfach nur GEIL!!!!

Viel Spaß noch mit deinem Opel mit Lotus Genen.

[2Loud2Fast]

holt euch lieber ein Golf 2 VR6 optik und performance zieht der diesen scheiß opel locker ab tfu judenauto

[VXstage3]

Mal abgesehen von der ziemlich merkwürdigen Einstellung gegenüber anderen Menschen: ich will keine Standuhr und auch keine Viertelmeile vor der Eisdiele fahren. Golf ist was für Kinder (sic!), hatte ich bereits mit 20 Jahren, 1992 sogar den ersten VR6 in der Stadt, inzwischen sind die erheblich zu langweilig. Heute muss es schon was Schnelleres sein. Aber schieb Du mal schön weiter Dein Oma-Auto um die Kurven zum Lidl. Und lass die Erwachsenen in Ruhe ihre Sportwagen bewegen. :P

[TheMegaVette]

du hast so recht!!! loooool

[TheMegaVette]

wau en 2er Golf VR6 na das is aber brutal echt....langsam wirds lächerlich mit nem uralten motor der en haufen säuft und den nur so junge hüpfer wie du fahren. Aber sorry...hast recht...VR6....looooool

[secija]

oh man, was bist du denn für´n vollhorst? Bin zwar kein opel fan aber der speedster is ne fahrmaschine und dein golf is ne "rennschüssel" für hauptschüler!

[priV00pAulA]

Bin auch schon mal Speedster Turbo mit 230kmh gefahren! Aber diese Ding ist ja mal der Hammer, da ksuf ich mir lieber nen Speedster anstatt nen Ferrari und hab ma eben 70000€ gespart! Boah und der Sound, da geht mir einer ab! xD

[Schoeppingen]

Wir haben nen Astra G mit 84 Ps

Bei rückenwind und bergab macht der seine 200...kann ich mir mal deinen speedster leihen? will auch mal einmal in meinem leben schnell fahren und nicht mit 200 schleichen. xD

[VXstage3]

Den Wagen verborge ich nicht einmal mehr Leuten, von denen ich weiß, dass die schnelles Fahren gewöhnt sind. Sorry, der Turbolader schockt zu sehr, wenn man ihn das erst Mal spürt. Wie hat Tim Schrick mal über einen Caterham CSR260 sinngemäß gesagt: "wenn du nicht aufpasst, zählst du bis 3 und bist tot". So in etwa passt das auch hier. ;)

Kurz gesagt: nope! :)

[Schoeppingen]

tzzzz...warts ab, wenn ich mein eigenes Auto habe und das aufgetuned hab, dann fahren wir mal rennen...mal sehen wer den kürzeren zieht xD

[deathamph]

Zwei Dinge verleiht man nicht...die Frau und das Auto :)

[ssj3sedat]

wie viel hat dich dieser spaß gekostet?

kannst auch als PN schreiben..;)

[VXstage3]

Betrag x für den im Jahr 2005 noch fast fabrikneuen Turbo und dann nochmals Betrag x über die Jahre dazu für die Optimierungen. Also 2 x.

Wer den Markt kennt, weiß jetzt in etwa, was der Betrag war. ;)

[BedsGTI]

You should have compared it to a random super bike...comparing it to a Hayabusa makes the vx220 look slow...which is certainly isn't!!

[VXstage3]

The owner is a close friend and I roughly knew about the potential of this monster bike. We just liked to feel how it will make up in reality and document it on video.

Of course this bike has to go lots faster that the VX. But comparison was not our cause to do this. ;)

[werbeboard]

very nice car and very fast!!!

[thegtc]

Hey very very nice car and very nice video!Good ride

[wumbatz]

that is a bullet ! awesome car !

[ZaBluimp]

i fucking love this car... next car deffinatley...

[bahnstormero]

I guess it isn't easy to do 260+kph in Speedster, the steering must be very sensitive. But the performance is just amazing - 997 Turbo must be slower from 100 to 200.

Thanks for posting!

[chris1dimi]

Dude at the infos you dont mention how you you improved the car, just some photos at the beginning. I am not an expert, i have an Opel Astra coupe, is nice car but after a couple years i will buy a speedster. Can you write down what parts you added ?

[VXstage3]

Basically this is a VX-Performance Stage 3 engine setup with additional Bailey DV26si Blow Off / Dump Valve. Block and head are still untouched, GM stock.

But the first thing you have to think about owning a Speedster is to improve suspension and wheels which are absolute rubbish in the original setup. I changed to an Öhlins 36HRC suspension which comes from the bike sector and has been modified for light-bodied cars like the Speedster and the Lotus Elise/Exige.

[chris1dimi]

Very nice, thanks.I ll get back to you after a year or so, i hope i will find these parts and the Opel of course.

[ahpewz]

sweet..

[MITKO1BG]

what a beauty :)

[LamboBenni]

great video. Unbelievable what a power the machines have. The Speedster and, of course, the Hayabusa. :-)

[Kickboxer2005]

lol the hayabusa got more ps than ur opel. of course the bike would win. any superbike stock would beat ur opel. u need 700hp to beat a stock bike. but nice car, u can beat that ferraris and lamborghinis noobs.

[VXstage3]

I didn't expect to "beat" him. He's some good friend and we just wanted to display the bike's performance.

Thinking that there are more than perhaps five vehicles on german roads that can beat this bike would be ridiculous. ;)

[bwsbloodwhatup]

haha liked that "Middle lane moron!" haha :D

Really nice car, such speed. Amazing!

[kurtoneal]

so its celica engine

[kurtoneal]

its still opel:(

[VXstage3]

So what's the point? You wanna drive a fast car or a brand name? In essence, this car is a Lotus. It performes like a GT3 Porsche for the price of a Golf. I really like that.

[kurtoneal]

True...

the thing is Ive never heard anth positive about Opel cars so i assume that its the same in speedster case, but as you said its close to ellisse, looks cool drives cool but the Opel badge...

all best

[VXstage3]

I don't like Opel that much myself. But this car is different. It's basically an Elise with an Opel engine and gearbox. And this engine is superb in durability and power-up capabilities. The combination is a great thing. If you're willing to get over all the little Opel and Lotus issues (both firms are known for the lack of quality) you get the remedy of an ultra fast performer for which bikes are pure competition.

[kurtoneal]

thats 100% true.

I would rather buy Lotus but its at least 2 times more expensive:(

I m not sure but 2 liters turbo from opel is in lotus too

[VXstage3]

No, Lotus uses Toyota engines right now. They used Rover engines some years ago. They do not use turbo engines, they use compressors for some models. And the displacement is 1.8 liter only, hi rev concept with variable cams.

[audir1thenewone]

hey the opel/vauxhall/lotus interior quality isn't actually that bad. they strip it down to the basics of racing.

[jdcokebitch]

Very Good video, very informative. Lol no chance against the busa though, but it would give alot of cars a run for their money.

[konyaligoekhan]

i hab vectra opc 300 ps aber dis kleine wagen lauft schon gut

[eg6k20a]

I want to see a video 0-18m 400m 1000m

thas good

[andreeawhatever]

is a slow car for that power and torque. Audi S3 with 250 Hp have max speed 250 electronyc limited.

[corri303]

yes, it's fast. great car!

[Spyda2k6]

Selbst der Klasen Speedi (600 PS)hätte da alt ausgesehen  :D aber nettes Video mal zum vergleichen wie schnell son Moped ist.

[VXstage3]

Na der Klasen-Speedster ist auch eine Klasse für sich. Das ist ein höchstgezüchtetes Einzelstück, dagegen ist meiner Massenware, ein Hausfrauenspeedster.

Aber dafür kann man mit meinem auch noch super Rundstrecke fahren und Motor und Getriebe halten deutlich mehr als 400m. :)

[Spyda2k6]

Na Hausfrauenspeedster ist deiner nun nicht ! Mit den Zeiten die du da fährst bist du von 0-200 schneller als ein 2005er Porsche 911 Turbo, bis 270 dann ca gleich schnell. Also klasse Wagen den du da hast, vom wem ist deine Phase 3 ?

[VXstage3]

Regelin. Auspuff Lotus Specials Cup, also Imhof. Quasi das Setup des Autobild-Tests in Oschersleben vor einiger Zeit, allerdings mit deutlich mehr Leistung.

[kenshi70]

nice video guys

that speedster is awesome

[BoostBeastBerlin]

geiler Speedster, hatte das vergnügen ihn in(auf) freier Wildbahn zu treffen, verdammt schnell, geiler Sound, eines der Autos schlechthin. aber deine beschleunigung hört sich runder an, ich hab bis fast 3500u/min Turboloch und danach drückt er dich einfach nur noch ganz tief in die Sitze

[VXstage3]

Ja, der Lader beginnt bei 2000upm zu packen und bei 3000 ist Volldampf, allerdings sogar mit gut 1.9bar. Der Druck fällt dann allerdings bis Nenndrehzahl wieder auf etwa 1.4bar ab. Der OPC-Lader schafft nicht mehr.

War sehr interessant, einen Calibra nicht wirklich vom Heck zu bekommen. ;)

[simbaolli]

der speedster könnte nen 6. gang vertragen, dann würde er noch nen stück besser gehen...

[VXstage3]

Genau meine Meinung. Für die Serienleistung reichen die 5 Gänge allerdings auch schon aus. Nur bei ~300PS würde ein sechster Gang locker 275km/h ermöglichen. Macht aber eh keinen Spaß mehr, mit solch einem kleinen Wagen so schnell zu fahren. Die Hauptdomäne ist die Rundstrecke oder Landstraße. Kurven mit kurzen Geraden zum Sprinten. :)

[zill84]

Ich liebe dieses Auto :-D

[gandalfxxx]

oh mein gott

[MeMiaRoda]

very nice video my friend!I love opel since i was 12 years old and speedster is the reason

[malaydogs]

which place & country of this video was taken?

[VXstage3]

Germany, Highway (Autobahn) A10, south of Berlin, no speed limit

[Cruz1977]

thats a german autobahn my friend! safest place in the world...

[tubeneophyte]

I'd find it way too scarry to ride a bike that fast with other cars around. Does it much and he will be dead (someone sometime will not be paying attention and pull out in frount).

[VXstage3]

Acually the owner of the busa knows that! And he takes the risk because avoiding every risk in life also avoids every fun of it. He say if he dies some time, at least he lived his life in a good way.

Btw. he's a heck of a driver, licenced race driver, has won the german historic sidecar championship in 2007 and drives formular cars.

[MarMPB]

Great video, great fun!

I envy your german roads so bad...

[Bonty1983]

bel video, bel test XD..e pensare che un mio amico ha appena venduto la sua speedy per prendersi la nuova corsa....(motivi di spazio :-S) Peccato! Piuttosto com'è lo stato attuale del motore!

[militar3rd]

you really have no chance to a hayabusa...

0-60 in what?? 2.7???

[VXstage3]

The guy with the Busa is a friend of mine. Noone ever thought of having "a chance". We just did a decent driving together and had some fun. If you need to race down everybody you meet that's your choice. I think different.

[Hornet0214]

on which autobahn? A71? die is immer leer

[VXstage3]

A10

[dannymarx]

how much did the mods cost you?

[VXstage3]

Base car (2005): 24.000 Euro

Engine mod w/ exhaust and turbo: 6.750 Euro

Race clutch: 750 Euro

Break mod: 520 Euro

Wheels: 1.800 Euro

Öhlins Suspension: 2.700 Euro

Aerodynamics: 1.370 Euro

Enlarged aluminium tank w/ catch tank: 1.480 Euro

---

In total: ~38.000 Euro (~14.000 Euro mods)

[nazar2007paris]

with 24,000 i would rather buy a Chrysler Crossfire..or chrysler 300c...

[VXstage3]

Actually I owned a Mercedes Benz SLK 320 from 2000 to 2003. This is virtually equal to the Crossfire. I sold it because it was way to cosy. If you need an airscarf, drive Mercedes. If you need a fast TV couch, drive a Crossfire. I'm none of that kind. The Speedster is for my spare time. And in my spare time I wanna feel the road, hear the car, accelerate as much as can be. Crossfire does not go with this.

[nazar2007paris]

u must be rich =) what's ya job?

[VXstage3]

:D No way. If I'd be rich I'd be driving a Carrera GT.

[350kmh]

is this the autobahn at Hockenheim? looks similar.

[VXstage3]

No, it's the southeast of the A10 called the "Berliner Ring". It's a 200km autobahn ring around Berlin.

[350kmh]

and are there alot of speed limits there? or more unlimited?

[VXstage3]

The Video was filmed in the unlimited sections only. OK, almost. The second acceleration shows a run out into the small limited section around Wildau. Rest is unlimited.

[350kmh]

thank you for that info, i drive alot through germany and i always wait with impatience to see the white sign with black lines through it :). I will certainly try this piece of road too!

[itanium86]

holy fucking shit, that vid made me wet my pants

damn that, a opel running over 260KM/h, that's insane!

busa in the end did the job nicely. loved it

5/5

[VXstage3]

I did not think that. We only did the vid to illustrate the difference to a fast sportscar. Btw. a stock Busa does not go real 320. Use a GPS (i.e. Racelogic Performance Box) to measure real speed and you will see that 300 is about the end for stock bike.

[kataklysm696]

Im Bereich über 250 dürfte selbst ein F1 Probleme mit einer TurboHayabusa haben. Die Zeitschrift Motorrad hat mal eine 325 PS MAB vermessen, Durchzug im sechsten Gang von 250-300 in 2,6 sec. Ferrari Enzo 200-300 17sec, Bugatti Veyron 100-300 9 sec, Haya 6,2

[allandro007]

From the driven distance over time the navigation system calculates a very accurate distance per speed pulse signal. Therefore the speed indication of the navigation system is much more accurate than the car speedometer. To avoid that you drive faster than the speed limit, car speedometers show usually a speed + 2...5% higher then real speed. Usually the navigation system indicates therefore a lower speed than the car speedometer.

[Clemzy]

Nice vid. I'd have get a quick push of acceleration before getting a gear down (mean going from 4th to 3rd gear, etc), but nice ^^ I don't speak english very well, i hope you have understand what i mean.

[VXstage3]

As I'm native german don't hesitate to write in german. ;)

[VXstage3]

That's not true. The stock tachometer may show 340 and your real speed is still below 300km/h. Use a gps system (i.e. racelogic equipment) and you will see what I mean. ;)

[mikylcrusso2911]

quella puttana di tua madre

[Kforkuzgun]

Holy shit man!!

BTW if an american saw this they would piss their pants and die just by watching. AND then their grandmother would sue you! So you better write "Viewer discretion advised" for americans...

very cool video !

400 hp busa tsk . . . i've heard of an 700 hp one . . . NLR powered . . . ( indeed there's always someone who is faster than you )

(((( - - - >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

now , what if you could put another somewhat larger turbine onto that ecotec . . . hehe

[Sanja330]

Fuckin Opel!

[VXstage3]

Although I'm rather fucking someone else :) I take that as a compliment.

I do not like Opel by myself. But I love Lotus. And this is a Lotus in almost any way.

[itanium86]

What about the Opel Omega Lotus? haha, that one was sweet long time ago

[eduardfis]

extraordinary... fantastic....

[escos5079]

what does your car do a standing quarter mile in? cheers nice vid!

[VXstage3]

The value of the now obtained Racelogic DriftBox for quarter mile is 13.57s @ 176.74km/h. Acceleration values in the video were made with tachometer readings so they are somehow a bit too nice. Here are the gps-based values: 0-100 in 4.5s, 0-200 in 16.8s, 0-240 in 27.8s, 100-200 (4th gear) in 9.6s, lateral 1.29g, brake 1.14g, accel 1.04g.

[Mave242]

schöner sound..mag den blastikbomber optisch nicht...aber deiner gefällt mir!

[VXstage3]

1. Thanks :)

2. Yes, it's now got an ohlins-suspension. The original suspension is very bad. The new is stronger but it does feel softer. Best suspension for track days in my view.

3. I ordered a driftbox, will repeat the tests with it.

4. Clearly. :)

5. Car behaves more predictable after change of suspension.

[vectra17]

They said they took it all from Lotus, I though that suspension was top notch. Can you explain just how 'bad' it was, in which way?

Thanks.

[VXstage3]

- Bad skid manners, if rear end starts coming round, you will end up off road most of the time. With HRC36 you control the rear wheel skid easily with throttle.

- The original suspension very often seems to "knock the chassis" with very rude sound. With the ohlins this is no longer true.

- The ohlins suspension is fully customizable in push and pull strength.

The original Lotus setup which is the worst thing about the Speedster.

[vectra17]

1. excellent machinery!

2. Did you had to change the suspension? The original is hard enough, how would you describe the difference?

3. I dont say I dont trust you, but next time you can record the spedometer as well.

4. The battle with the bike was pointless really. Even stock 180 bhp Busa will wipe the floor with you, as it is 9 sec 0-200 kmh bike, and standard going 340mkh.

5. How is all that power behaving now on a track with lots of curves?

Salut!

[Dexta90]

super wagen!!

[trg18]

its a very nice car..very nice bike but for 10 to 15 thousand more euros or subtract what you invested into your vehicle and you could of bought a skyline.Your car is still very fast though.Thats the only reason I go to work lol,to save for something like that!!
