what is the Fastest/Most Powerful Seven

Hi All,

Does anyone know which is the fastest ever seven or even which had the most power?

I realise it's not all about being the fastest, but just genuinely interested.

I remember tiger did the fastest 0-60 with their z100 but wonders if anyone knows who is king of the acceleration, top speed, power?

The Dax Rush Hayabusy turbo Demo Car.
I was told It managed a 2.8s to 60.
Having been in it been in it I don't doubt the figures.

Was not very long after the demo I had ordered a Rush, be it a slower version.

Had my rush dyno'ed at an open day. Managed a 165bhp. 1.2 litre.
Followed by some silly monster of a rush with a big V8. made in excess of 500bhp.

Duncan cowper was also my first thought.

Its going to be a bec turbo unless you look at donkervoort.





Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Iirc Darren Cudds Cosworth Turbo Westfield was 550 bhp although I think it liked gearboxes

Barry Ashcroft built a Westfield with a small block Chevy in it

There was also a twin bike engined Westy aswell and that went well at Curborough when it wasn't swapping ends

and Adrian Clinton Watkins had a V8 Bike engined version that sounded bloody awesome

The Bunn/hodder Westfield is pretty manic! That's the fastest I've seen. In a straight line anyway! Crossed the finish line at aintree sprint at about 145mph

Thanks, after a bit of googling it looks like Adrian Clinton-Watkins has a powertec v8, I bet that sounds great!

been in duncans car as he is a good friend, mental quick,

went in the original demo car also like rf900 upto 100 mph you could have put a £50 not on the dash and said if you can reach it its yours not a chance this thing put you in your seat big time what a rush (sorry for the pun )

i thought bot my turbo cars where quick until duncs car,

but i would say 0-60 as said the early post, the tiger car tiff needle drove on the fifth gear twin bike engine looked mental quick

I miss my turbo cars

oh and power there is a dax rush andy sterling with a monster LS engine in apparently its good for well over 160 mph

I was wondering why there were so many cars parked up on the right hand side of the track? Then I realised they were actually moving, all be it a little slower than Lee's Cosworth.

Once my engine has been mapped am looking at a high and low boost setting giving 250bhp on low and 300-320bhp on high. It will be a very minimal car to with no heaters or wipers as I don't plan to go over 500kg.

But am sure most bec would be quicker on a track.

Fastest/Quickest/Most Powerful

All different questions with different answers. I know that Duncan's turbo Busa Dax is 550BHP or so and is likely to be in the running for Quickest and maybe most Powerful. Fastest would likely be a bodied 7 like a Phoenix or Fury (if they count). I've seen 164MPH on the GPS but I'm sure there are faster cars than that.

Certainly at Hethel Duncan was faster....he was chasing the single seater for FTD

1. Tony Beasley - Jedi 120.12
2. Matt Carter - Radical 120.48
3 Gary Hayward - Evo - 120.80
4 Duncan Cowper - Dax Rush - 120.91
11 Gary Bunn - Westfield - 127.31

I know that Gary withdrew with issues and that Duncan had cracked both front discs before the final run at Hethel in August but this is the only event I can think of when Duncan turned up last year. We both now how quick Matt Carter is....
