so Chris C is kindly fitting my chip and blits boost controller on sat, and i cant wait to be honest . thing is as stock i find quite a few cars can give me jip, not faster though, but can keep up with me upto 100 mph or so. So the question is whats faster than a zed with chip and boost controller set to 14 psi?.....nothing..good just what i wanted to hear...no seriously anyone been burnt? just so i know who to look out for and who to be respectful to.

Steve,

you'll find it very difficult to find something that will keep up- why not start racing motorbikes? Now there's a bit of competition for you

------------------

being stock the only cars that give me serious trouble are m3's m5's really, I don't see any other type of fast cars much, everything else is gone

 

Mike

Steve,

 

I have boost upgrade to 14 psi done when I had new turbo's fitted (somewhere around 340bhp or something!)

 

Nothing keeps up with me on the road and I have taken to racing bikes now.....some I win some I lose, but as for 4 wheeled opponents, nothing comes close.

 

Suprises me sometimes!!!

 

 

Matty.

Just when you think you've found a new friend they shit on you from a great height....

How much does this sort of work cost? What's involved in the boost upgrade, chipping sounds straightforward..

 

and who makes the turbo's in the ZX btw?

hehe.. you can say that again - although you still get ****ed on in a straight line by R1's and Gixer Thousands and the like.

 

I bet a Zed's better behaved in traffic than a TVR though... I'll be able to let you know if I ever find one to buy!!! Looking at a 385 bhp zed this weekend.. fingers crossed...

 

Let's just hope the Zed doesn't get me pulled by the Polis quite as often!

...a man who has eaten all of his chips from the chippy but has only a singular chip left covered in salt and vinegar with period sauce and wanted something for afters!

 

So goes to the newsagent to buy a Cadbury's Boost then spots a Z with 14psi which triggers a hypnotic implant and sends the guy with the chip and the boost into beserker mode!

 

He runs at the Z and with his left hand with the soggy chip he starts to beat the Z's roof and in his right hand with the Boost chocolate bar he's banging on the window shouting at the top of his voice...

 

"Fourteen Pies, Fourteen Pies, Fourteen Pies!"

ok finally a post from timmy which can be used to have him condemeded to a psychiactric unit of our choosing :O)

Q. What beats a zed with chip and boost at 14psi?

 

A. My Z at 17psi

 

Most Supras/Skylines!

Two of Stuey Buckminsters randiest phillys, a Travel Lodge, champagne and a bin bag full of Cocaine! Sniiiiffffffff..."Say hello to my trouser snake friend!"

 

 

 

------------------

Any current TVR can beat a zed with upto 420bhp. I know I work at a trevor garage.

You said it mate, all you have to do is fill it up with Optimax and install a magic tree air freshner to the rear view mirror and you've got 1000bhp!!!

 

CLASS!!!

i know for a fact that Hairsy's chimera was dead even with my (almost stock) zed on numerous drags from 0 to 120

 

the only time either of us got ahead or dropped back was on gear changes

 

I know, i was there, and we both drove both cars.

 

the power to weight ratio of mass production cars versus specialist or kit cars is always going to be a big factor

 

the survive-a-crash-ability of mass production cars is a good indication of their build....

 

how many accident damaged tvr's do you see in a scrap yard ? none ?

 

why's that ? tvr owners are better drivers ? lol... hmm

 

if you have an accident and survive, you need a dust pan and brush to get the car back home again

The reason you don't see many in a scrap yard is because most TVR drivers are old, boring and never take the cars out when it's raining, it's later in the year than September or it's any day of the week apart from Sunday! lol...

 

My Cerbera would hit a ton from rest in 9.1 and if the Zed i get can do the same i'll be grinning from ear to ear.

 

 

Whether as bad as a plastic rocket I'm not sure, but the Zed got APPAULING NCAP crash test results, something like 3 starts for driver safety none for passenger.

 

Lucky they don't work for long enough to go fast innit, TVR's or Zeds, oh or S13's.

 

 

RIGHT! THATS IT! I've had enough.

A supra??

A GTR?? DREAMING!

I have a Z with chip and 14psi, and it blows a uk spec (I believe these are the fastest stock) completely out of the water! I mean not even close.

2 friends of mine have Supras, one is a 99 import t.t with tiptronic and the other is a 95 uk spec manual.

Racing the manual from a standing start, I was a car length ahead at the top of 1st, 2 cars at the top of 2nd, 6 cars at the top of 3rd, and 10 cars by the top of 4th.

G.T.R? give me a break!, can the people who claim how amazingly fast these cars are as standard please drive one first?

I have raced a stock (save for exhaust) R33 that belonged to a friend, while my Z was stock and the 300 repeatedly beat it from 60 up usually by a good 5 car lengths by 100mph, (the skyline has a limiter) and judging by the way the 300 was pulling away from it at 112mph, it was going to get uglier for the skyline.

I don't race him now with the boost upgrade as I deem it to be a waste of petrol

Z's don't look to great at Santa pod or the weald, Sorry.

While were on the subject how would they compare to either a Cossy or Scooby? ...just curious.

hi,

my stock zed against 240bhp scooby

0-60 scooby, by a cars length

60-80 neck to neck

80-100 zed, by a cars length

100- zed, the gap just keeps growing
