errr dunno how but I beat one last night at a TLGP...not teh fly by either...

He was probably using 1st gear, 10% throttle and thinking to himself:

"Look at that kid in his $15,000 car trying to race me mamoru.gif

I'm going to go home, sip on some $5000 cognac, smoke a $2000 cigar and make love to my 18 year old nubile young wife"

My old man went shopping for a conti GT... they are ****ing cheap at around $280k from memory (note, an Arnage T is around $600k).

They are majorly pimpin... but handle like a fridge on a cloud of air and they aint that quick at all. I'd guess a low 13 1/4 mile.

Too slow for his liking, so he picked up a cheaper, and a helluvalot faster AMG E55

I doubt the old retired guy who would have been the owner could give a toss about traffic light grand prix's!!

was actually a youngish guy (mid to late 20's)

I heard his induction noise and engine starting to roar. even if he wasn't full throttle he still lost teh TLGP...:)

I thought the car when running economy the Turbo were shut off. When pressing the Sport mode the turbo is activated. I watched this on Top gear review and i think this is how it goes.

You've just described all turbo cars off boost.

The Continental GT is one of those superdooper cars like a Murcielago or Vanquish - sounds like a Supermarine Spitfire on the road.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Aren't these run off of high voltage in OEM applications? Like 200+V. Or at least 48V in mild hybrids. At ~18,000 BTU ballpark nominal capacity the power draw is at what, 2.2 kW? ~185A is a pretty crazy amount of amps. At 200V it's only 11A. The 70A nominal kits with up to 100A peak draw I see for stuff like classic Porsches have pretty substantial compromises like shutting off at idle and not actually managing to keep the interior cool in hot conditions because they can only output like 6000 BTU. IMO if I had to pick what high amp draw component to retrofit to these cars I would start with the engine fan, not the AC compressor. You need an ~850-1000W brushless fan, something like this: I would love to see the data but I would bet that whatever you save by running the AC compressor in a more efficient regime with an electric motor you're probably losing to conversion losses anyways. It's not really like a clutch fan where you're losing power all the time even when it's nominally disengaged and it gets worse as it engages because the envelope tracking isn't that precise.

      I'm wondering is the Toyota and Mazda "collaboration" could see that new Toyota ???G20 ??? turbo engine that they have been showing off recently into a future MX5, apparently it's good for 400hp out of the box That could easily, possibly, be much better than the last collaboration between Toyota and Subaru with the boxer engine in the twins
