Seems the Ibiza in this colour is quite rare - and the ones that are are all big turbo'd diesels! :lol:

sooty22 on here has an Ibiza in the same colour as yours and his is a big turbo diesel too!
 
Hi yes it's sabine ok. She is fast but not the fastest out there! I enjoy just rubbing shoulders with 100k plus super cars and coming home in one piece. Oh and there are some very very fast bikes out there and some very slow ones too so it's can be like death race 2000! Yes im going in early may for 3 nights. Have you been?
 
Yes id imagine a few of us will be going in before the international meet, I need to go again this year!

This would be better moved in the riders ride section :d

Nice car, love that colour in the sun, looks very nice and the wheels suit it very well, surprising as I dont think many would have gone for black on that car, but it works :)
 
iirc, I thuahgt sabine knew the ring more than anyone, and she generally was the fastes car permitting?
 
Believe me sabine is fast but not the fastest by a mile!! the guy who drives the zak speed viper for example will leave the M5 for dead! I've been in it he does a 7.40 lap depending on traffic! She dose'nt set the fastest lap in the 24hrs either but who cares she's dead fit and very friendly.:) Glad you like pic of my car:)
 
Oh if you want to see a quick bike following sabine's taxi log onto sliders guest house and check Bren (the owner) short shifting his R1 like he's on a sunday cruise! Then watch him follow the viper ( he could pass it but followed it for fun. The driver showed a lot of patience when held up by some slow bikes):)

Well a Viper would leave an M5 wouldn't it

:lol:

:D
 
Maybe but viper totally road legal not a race car. Plus the taxi (Top end 200mph unrestricted) is faster, can have upto 4 passengers which will be a disadvantage though!

Exactly, which basically means.. the viper would be faster! :)

Plus doubt you would really get upto 200mph on the ring.

What about 0-60 and 30-70 times? Viper is probably faster at a guess.. they would more meaningfuly on a track.

I'll do a lil research to see if I am talking poo or not because it's a guess :p
 
Performance
Dodge Viper third generation (Third Gen)

0-60 mph (96 km/h): 3.94 sec
0-100 mph (160 km/h): 8.36 sec
quarter mile: 11.77 sec @ 123.68 mph (199.04 km/h)
top speed: 196 mph (315 km/h)
slalom: 70.4 mph (113 km/h)
skidpad average acceleration: 1.05 g (10.3 m/s²)
100-0: 274 ft (84 m)
Foruth Gen is faster..

VS. E60 Beemer (latest)
0-100 km/h (62 mph): 4.7s[2]
(0-100 mph: 10.1s, Road & Track [2/06])
(0-60 mph: 4.1s, Road & Track [2/06])
Top speed: 250 km/h (155 mph actual or 163mph indicated) with electronic speed limiter; 330 km/h (205 mph indicated, 195mph actual) with limiter removed
Power: 507 PS (500.1 hp/372.9 kW) at 7750 rpm
Torque: 520 N·m (384 ft·lbf) at 6100 rpm

And it's obvious which is the better handler = viper owns. :)
Also, the Foruth gen, not included in the above, can hit 203mph, and as it says, 195 actual, the viper may have a quicker top end in that respect. (if viper speed is 'actual').
Even the Second Gen was quicker than the E60 Beemer..

Ok you win! :lol: Best not to get to bothered with lap times around there just enjoy the drive.
If you time your self and keep trying to improve it you WILL crash sooner rather than later and it might not be your fault. :cry:
