Dear all,
who is building the 2 speed super charger is a member of this forum and I will let him the pleasure to introduce himself alone. Anyway it is a European Company which adds the fully mechanic automatic 2 speed gearbox to an exhisting supercharger. The result is not too bad.
Fran,
I am more then sure that you know how to build high performance cars.
My point is tha the Nuerburgring is too far away from your facilities to react promptly in case of request of adjustments coming from the test driver.
The economical energies that you shall put in achieving such a target is quiet important, much more then fiew anti roll bars and fiew shocks and fiew springs.
I believe that if we/you will never plan such an activity, we will do it for beating the actual record and not just for participating, correct?
To be good is good....to be the best is better.
The Nordschleife is quiet complicate and needs a specific set up of the car, correct? This track is highly dynamic and the power is important, but also the rest of the influenting parameters are extremely important.
By cornering as fast as possible is a gain as well as braking as late as possible as well as pulling the rev cutter in the long straight line as well as.....as well as....etc...etc...
About the gearbox and the glory my thoughts are following:
1) I have already 2 gearboxes installed on the 3 fastest cars, the 3rd would be great but not so significant.
2) The glory is always for the vehicle doing the job and not for the gearbox or the driver or the engine, but the vehicle....YOURS.
The vehicle is the summary of many components. If all at the same level and all well interfaced, the vehicle is effective. If it really is WE WILL SELL:
Fran 50 cars at ...........probably 350.000 US
Wanni 50 boxes at........probably 12.000 US
But, never mind. I was trying to be positive and propositive.
Of course you are free to have your opinion and you are free as well to refuse or accept a proposition.
On the other side, I feel extremely free to do not support a worldwide event if I feel it is not organised with a minimum of strategies and escape lanes in order to react promptly to a partial unsuccess.
7.40 means nothing when the lap record is 7.32.
If we decide to show our power to the world, we need 7.25 on the paper and enough of influencing parts to adjust on run the car.
It would be extremely stupid to go home by knowing that the 95 hertz springs on the rear would have made the event successfull. How much?????200 US????
Up to you now.
Ciao and regards
Wanni
