Pt 5. Skoda/evo @ Bonneville Speed Week 2011. IN CAR!

[pastorniels]

To Lightfromsirius who said: "Skoda was once one of the top 5! carbuilders in the world. (...) Your comment just shows that you know nothing about Skoda" Well I do actually know something about Skoda. I live very close Skoda Museum. And I know they once was pristine cars. But there was time when I was a boy, and back then they were eatblock tin cans often overtaken bya old men on bicycles. Those days are thankfully over. :)) Have a nice day.

[Lightfromsirius]

Each Skoda VRS has an inbuild speed ticket. What production car has built in the strength of a factory WRC? It lacks only strut bar and cage for 100% rigidity of a WRC car. If you have money, you can easily sink a million euros in a VRS to enjoy the result and the open mouths of others.

[skodatoys]

Well done guys,for those who want to see a skoda with speed ticket,we invite them in romania for 402 meter ;))

[Lightfromsirius]

@skodatoys

You can come to germany too. But be warned. It does not matter if the Skoda is 30 years old or new. You will only see the tail.

WE WANT CHRIS HARRIS!!!!!

1:11 it looks like fake..

[hubbasdz1]

there's still to much of this plastic elements inside... terrible quality, as usual

[pavlosgt]

@hubbasdz1 thanks to you and to the people who have the same opinion like you, the fans of skoda can buy their favorites cars at a lower price than audi or vw. But i wonder if you have ever entered a skoda car to see the quality or if you know that the elements inside of skoda 2011 for example are the elements that audi used in 2010. furthermore.This is a racing car. see the inside of a mercedes racing car it looks the same. at least if you don't know don't express your opinion in public.

[imgonnafuckuup1]

whats the point of it?

[pastorniels]

@imgonnafuckuup1 Well the desire to go faster and faster is a base element of man. And it is amazing that the former east-block tin-can now is up among the fastest.

[keldfc]

One of the old jokes about the (old) skoda's,: "the biggest dream for a skoda: to get a speedticket" i guess we have to change that, slightly: "the biggest dream for the police: to give a skoda a speed ticket, -if they can catch it" ;-)

[ablair37]

@keldfc a lot of police forces now use skoda fabia insted of shity vauxhall astras and octavia vrs instead of vectra or mondeo as they cheaper faster and better to drive and i agree i have a octavia 1.9tdi and love it even if its 6 year old

Mad for a front wheel drive car

[sasafarov]

В США на высохшем соленом озере Бонневиль компания Skoda сумела установить свой собственный рекорд – специально подготовленная модель под названием Octavia VRS Bonneville Special сумела разогнаться до 323,44 км/ч

[Bravo21]

I generally enjoy EVO-TV, but I must say these video's suck.

How about a bit of relevance to your subject... a complete waste of time. honestly, a point would be nice, and some data and results too maybe.

Just a thought, but Less lame-ass Editing and more substance is needed here; So just stfu and race, then give us the speed and time... and why so short? WTF, you getting paid by the second?

[garetht]

I simply can't get excited by this, I know of a sierra cosworth that did 206 mph at brunters. And it cost less than 50k total project.

[bobby210fm]

@garetht Rod Tarry's by any chance? Last time it was at Bruntingthorpe it went 100yrds before it destroyed itself and i think it currently owes him more than 120K....

[garetht]

@bobby210fm sorry i was talking about one of his first engine builds,, it does put this into perceptive though

[bobby210fm]

@garetht Cool :-) it probably cost 50K just to transport the Skoda out there!!

[georgevts]

@garetht Not averaged over 2 miles it didn't.

[RCSpeedChampionship]

Fastest speed reported on SCTA-BNI website is 194.101mph. That's for Sunday...
