fastest times at santa pod, don't know how comprehensive the list is. but even just looking at the times and speeds, it doesn't add up at all, there's not a single car in the 9 second bracket with a TV of over 150mph, 167mph would be already within 8 seconds. total bullsh1t as usual :lol:

I thought of this thread sat in the pub listening to somebody talk about a girl they knows road going (on road legal tyres) supra running 7.6 seconds at 169mph :?

I'd love to see these cars he has in the flesh.
They do look all immense, love to have a ride in one to.

Whether or not they are making power and times he claims, they do look mental and must be pulling some power anyways.

Given his track record it wouldn't amaze me if doesn't own these cars and has taken photos of other people's, or if they are just photoshopped creations.

If they do exist and if he did build them I wouldn't trust them to go 500m befor falling to pieces.
