Keyser Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 So the Bitch is off to her new (temporary) home next weekend so I had to decide what I was going to do next - I could do the suspension etc on the 370 but I have to say I love her how she is, Body kit looks great she is comfortable stupidly quick (gotta love a supercharger ) and a perfect car for long runs or going to shows and meets in or just going to get the milk in (i.e versatile and easy to drive), in short I didn't want to turn her into the same breed as the lean green track machine I want her just the way she is! This left me with a slight problem I also don't want to take the 70 on track as is but I "need" to get back on track soon.................... The other major problem is I don't think I can survive without all that Green, Black and carbon fiber in my life - O what to do what to do ....................................... But then by pure chance the perfect solution came along ............. You may want to put on dark glasses for this! Ready? You sure ???????????? OK Then - That should put the Green back in my life Meet my new track toy - its an MNR Vortx (so I went from Vortech to Vortx ) Powered by a Yamaha R1 engine with paddle shift 15" 888's all round and the performance is quite literally breath taking!!! No dyno figures but she boasts somewhere around 260 - 300 HP per Ton and 0 to 60 in the low 4s but its the 40 - 100 that really gets ya I bought it purely for track but as it was taxed and MOT'd and the insurance is less than 2 tanks of fuel in the Zed I thought I'd insure her for the road just to get used to her - I only just got out of her - it's very addictive but has a strange affect on you - I mean just look at what happened to Buster! Few things to do on her and will get a track day booked ASAP for a good shake down run 13 Quote

GMballistic Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 That look's like such an awesome track car. Get some videos done if you can as I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to hear & see it in motion. Quote

Wasso Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Chris you're a legend, always a trump card up your sleeve. Bob looks well chuffed Nice one Chris hope you're all ok. Quote
skahigh Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Aside from the massive rollbar that is absolutely fantastic, well done! Quote
Will370z Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Fantastic and the best decision. Now sign up and come and join us in Bedford in 2 weeks to give her a test run. Lots of us going so should be a great day Quote
350zedd Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Awesome green machine....hope you enjoy as much as the bitch! Quote
Ebized Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 I like the rules for the passengers Should a 4th rule - " You clean up your own poop" Oh and yes, that will be fun - you ought to compare notes on your new toy with a former of your 370 (before it started hissing) who now has a Tiger Quote
Bockaaarck Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Chris, that looks fantastic! I bet it's great fun and it looks like it will be amazing on track, brilliant. Quote
Rock_Steady Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 that is so cool it could freeze water. I love it. I can tell by your smile that it's a blast. Quote
