Re: Santa Pod - Drag Strip
Oh I dunno, the ST170 is not a bad car for the money. Easy to mod the engine and breath some life into it.
Raf used to be the South East regional rep for the Ford Focus Owners Club, and I used to go on a lot of meets with him. I think the ST170 is a good car, sporty yet useable every day.
I wouldn't touch the Z3, and the Clio is... well, its' a Clio.
So what's the gig Joe? I take it you're selling it again, I was on PH last night drooling over it. I asked the missus if I could do a swap, she wasn't happy |

But you're a maybe!!!
If it were closer me and Simon could have come in the 156 V6, insured it for the day and tested her out, 
Sadly though it isn't, 
I wouldnt mind taking her down Castle Combe though, that might be a laugh, |

Re: Santa Pod - Drag Strip
Also my mate Raf is coming in his Audi 3.2 V6. I say coming, it's him that's dragging me along, he's a regular at the Pod and it'll be my first time.

Re: Santa Pod - Drag Strip
i may pop along, its only 15 mins from me, i went to the auto italia event there a couple of years ago, i managed a 15.9 run but i had a badly blowing exhaust that day so i may see what i can do with a healthy exhaust.
nothing wrong with an st170, ok the engine is underpowered but the handling is amazing,much much better than comparable hot hatches ive driven, and its not difficult or expensive to get the bhp closer to 200 bhp.
