Mind you yours still aint the quickest Puma, thats already been done...

Who has the quickest Puma, and are we talking 1.7 or different engine?

To go one step further, who has the fastest road legal Puma with the following engines:

1.4 - ?
1.6 - ?
1.7 - Turby?
Other engine - Pumaspeed Cossie?

I guess these need to be proven figures (data-logged or timing gear), not "measured by my mate as he watched the speedo".

Think it would be better if...

1.4
1.6
1.7
1.7 turbo
2.0 turbo
4WD

1.4
1.6
1.7
1.7 turbo
2.0 turbo
4WD

It would be nice to keep it simple without breaking things down to normally aspirated/turbo/super charger/NOS etc, and I still think one other category for all other engines.

I think the "other engines" can be split into a 2wd and 4wd category though, as 4wd should give a performance advantage.

So:

1.4
1.6
1.7
Other engines 2wd
Other engines 4wd

Looks like another performance ford shoot out coming up I enjoyed that last one Can we have it at a weekend this time so we get more people (and a bit closer to the SW )

[Turby]

me... me...

I've got the most powerful 1.7 Puma Turbo that is road legal and is based around the standard 1.7 block / head and gearbox

What prize do I win ?

[Matt]

Might be me soon :wink:

[pumarv6]

Might be me soon  :wink:

In what category...?

[Turby]

Bu$$er...

Based on the 1.7 engine ? Turbo or NA... questions... questions... :?:

[MarkyMark]

i think it should be

1.4
1.6
1.7
(the three engines that come in the puma)
Standard Turbo'd (both 1.6 and 1.7 have been done)
And non standard engine, any n/a nos turbo supercharger etc

Is there really enough non standard 2wd and 4wd pumas around to have their own sections? i think not, would be a 2 horse race if they have own sections..........

[Turby]

I'd go for that... it might be worthwhile having a new gallery showing dyno sheets for contenders in each of the different categories - note all cars must be road legal and have current TAX / MOT.

Didn't someone used to have a 1.4 turbo puma

I agree, but this left Alan (Pumabuild) on an instant loss to Tony (Pumaspeed) in the non standard engine category and that didn't seem totally fair. I guess if we left the category as any non-standard engine only (2wd or 4wd), at least they could go up against each other. The Bruntingthorpe shoot-out was very close after all.

[ALAN at PUMABUILD]

Ed is Great

[Matt]

Didn't someone used to have a 1.4 turbo puma

I'm sure there are some photos in the album of a turbo-ed 1.4

[Matt]

Might be me soon  :wink:

In what category...?

I'm bidding for turby's on ebay

[Dan]

but it does have a reserve :wink:

[Matt]

And if no-one bids against me then we will never know if my top bid will match it!

Al best get some mods done then

Otherwise, it will be tony winning the 4wd and alan winning the 2wd, you might as well not have the shoot out if ppl have the groups won already?
