LOOK at what I saw at Essential Speed! - #1 Car Club In Kitchener - Waterloo - Cambridge

**TurboABA** · 11-19-2004, 01:12 AM

As some of you may know, I'm pretty good friends with those guys, so I'm there quite a bit!

Anyways...

I couldn't believe my eyes!

I know it's a crappy pic but what do you expect from a phone camera?

Yeah I thought about that after, I think it's 0-100MPH-0 in 10 seconds. Or was it 60 MPH.

Doh, I forget...

**jdmef9** · 11-20-2004, 02:16 PM

it's 0-100-0 .... world record for this is held by the Ultima GTR

Last time I heard, the world record for 0-100mph-0 was held by the McLaren F1 LM, at 11.5 seconds. The previous record was held by a caterham super 7 which did it in 12.41 seconds.

The Cobra did 0-60mph-0 in 10 seconds, not 0-100mph-0.

In any case, the cobra in the picture looks nice! Originals are SO rare now that I just assume all the Cobra's I see are kits.

WHat about the ones on those cellular phone boothes in the malls???

**jdmef9** · 11-20-2004, 07:51 PM

Driven by Ultima Director, Richard Marlow, the factory built Ultima GTR set a new world record time of 10.3 seconds to achieve 0-100mph-0 smashing the previous record by half a second. The British built super car stormed from 0-60mph in 2.8 secs and reached 100mph from standstill in an incredible 5.9 secs before coming back to rest a mere 4.4 secs later.

**neonSRT** · 11-20-2004, 08:01 PM

^^ son of a! I hadn't heard about the record being broken, but it sure beat it by a lot...
