Did have a Brabham BT-16 F2 car in the garage for a while.

Regards,
John

^ Neat - what was the engine in it? BRM, Cosworth SCA?

Johncawt · 11-13-2007, 08:15 PM

Cosworth

atr_hugo · 11-13-2007, 08:26 PM

John, what was the provenance of the car? From what I know there were possibly twelve BT16s built. Sir Jack his own self ran one of them (I think). Pretty rare duck all things considered. IIRC, there was an F3 variant, BT16A.

Did you run it in vintage? What sanctioning group?

mateo · 11-13-2007, 09:51 PM

Supercharged RSX-S...12.6 @110

I'm afraid I can't tell you a lot except I don't think it was a team car. My son was working at a high end pre war race car restoration shop and we got it from a co worker. He was intending to drive it in SVRA events where a number of his co workers raced but it never happened. It went back to the original owner when my wife wanted the garage space for her 325.

As someone interested in such things you owe it to yourself to check out the web site of the place he worked. www.leydonrestorations.com click about, staff, my son is the one crouched down in the front right. he has since moved on to developing wind power farms for a large Spanish company but they still have his picture there. Also check out the words section for Chris' wife's description of a trip to Monaco. This guy is typical of the type of people Chris does work for. Sheesh, how the other half lives. Look at the portfolio section for just some of the cars Chris has restrored. You will need a cigarette when you are done:-)

I understand - I've been priviledged to cover Pebble Beach a couple of times - there is some serious money tied up in some seriously NEAT cars.

Thanks John!

PS - Oh crap!! That blood red 2.6 Alfa Monza - where's that pack of butts. ; -)

PPS - Oh crap again!! Is that Griffith Borgeson's old 'Packard Cable Special' FWD Miller? A Frank Lockhart intercooler on it - better get the carton out. ; -)

dsm9 · 11-15-2007, 09:42 AM

Uhm fastest car I ever owned...how about a Tyco slot car!

phrozen06 · 11-15-2007, 11:33 AM

Fastest owned is the one I have now.

Fastest driven is the E60 ///M5

Dave · 11-20-2007, 02:38 AM

my 05 sti...fastest driven...07 z06 or my bros evo 8 with 400whp

1POINT9 · 11-20-2007, 07:17 AM

My current vehicle. 2006 Evo IX GSR 12.2 quarter at 114 before I installed cams and retuned. Tranny being built up now to handle more power with longer 4th gear. Last dyno was 350 AWHP which is I am guessing just over 400 crank? SO much more I could do.. just have to decide how far I want to go.

335isGuy · 11-21-2007, 05:52 PM

Fastest Car i owned is my 2.5L Stroker E30 M3 Warstiener DTM Rep (almost done).

Fastest Driven is my dads/mine Dinan Stage 3 Twin Turbo 850csi. at 12psi its 660HP at 20psi should be around 880-900HP (# are in crank). But she's in the shop, waiting for the tuning from Dinan.

JustFord0099 · 11-22-2007, 12:49 AM

i had a 2006 Mustang GT. that was after I had a 99 six cylinder Mustang. pretty big difference there lol

FuzzyMD · 11-27-2007, 12:14 AM

fastest I've owned is a FC rx7 with Ls1, T56, head, cam, intake and chip. About 400 whp. It was a fun car

Rx8135i · 11-27-2007, 12:05 PM

03 Evo GSR pushing 28 lbs of boost on the stock turbo with all supporting mods. Though it only had about 350awhp, it was beating ws6s and c5 vettes pushing around 400 to the rear wheels. I miss that car, just not the insurance.

Fast Kiwi · 11-27-2007, 05:39 PM

90 300ZXTT Fairlady. at 650hp.. god i loved that car..

Italteen3 · 11-27-2007, 06:57 PM

Damn LMAO I have the slowest fastest car any of us have owned! My 1990 Lincoln Towncar.....

Though I've driven some moderately fast cars I think the 135i will be one of the fastes cars I've driven. Have a test drive of a 335i this Sunday so it should be fun and fast
