First test drive of the GP

[GT]

Today 11:30

The moment i have waited for finally came..

With the help of SCRAM in Gothenburg we got some quite remarkable results.

0-102km..........5:89 G Force appliance was used.

top speed 241km From the GPS.

Ride : the ride was a little bouncy , but that is because the car has done 30km.
Comfort : non what so ever FANTASTIC

Cornering : At first it was a little sketchy but after a few turns and near missis i finally found a good driving position.

Position : The Recaro seats offer an amazing feel when driving, but unfortunatly you feel as though you are sitting too high up , maybe they will be better after a short while.

POWER : Bags and Bags of power absolutly outstanding , with everything you do , it dos´nt matter what you are doing with the car you feel the presence of the menecingly strong diff pushing its way out of evey corner. It feels like you have 4m wide shoulders as it releases its punch to the oncoming air.

Va rädd om dig och bilen Paul.......!!!!!

But it must be tested, there has been so much talk about the new GP, how fast it goes or how much weight it has shed.

And today i had the chance to find out for myself.

in my best swedish

Did you have a limitedslipdifferential on your old S? If now, how does it compare with/without?

[GT]

Without a LSD when you exit a corner , it dos´nt matter how well you come out of that corner , the weight of the car goes to one side and the inner wheel looses traction.
So not all of the power goes down to the road.

So with a LSD corners , understeer and oversteer are a thing of the past.

It is actually possible to through out the back-end, stamp on the gas , turn really sharply and then compensate the steering .

[GT]

The mini cooper s LSD cost around 2,300:- and was at 30%

The GP is at 100%

FY--FAAN

In other words you liked it ?



I have to agree with you

[GT]

Yeah but i think it will be a problem with the seats.

[Hobbe]

Time to order Sparco Evo or Recaro racing seats ?

[GT]

I have a Sparco S Light circuit ......but only one in the workshop.

but i still want to keep it JCW FUCK

[Hobbe]

Order the JCW seats then, yours for 18000 SEK each if I'm correct.
A bargain...

[GT]

8,900:- if you order from me.

[Hobbe]

8,900:- if you order from me.

I've got a long memory

[fj0]

I'll definitely recommend the Recaro Pole Positions! You sit very low in them.

Congrats on the GP and enjoy her in health!

[GT]

But you still got to remember it is a street car..

[fj0]

If you're ever in Stockholm give me a shout and I'll see if I can talk you into it.

[GT]

Well it just so happens that we are coming to pub night.

So get there early before i am too intoxicated.

[GT]
