Oh dear - Did I just witness a BArry Nova beating a nice Ferrari?!

 

[trl]

It's a 2.0 turbo engined Nova, and apparently the 360 driver wasn't too good off the line....the only place where he could have nailed the Nova. I suspect the Nova had 250+ bhp and weighed around 600kg. Do the maths for the Ferrari!

Weren't the rear wheels spinning at the start on the nova though?

 

[sutherlandm]

Now every Barry boy will claim his 1.2 Nova can beat a Ferrari!

 

[rot1983]

that is shocking !!!!

 

[NikB]

There is also a vid of a Seat Ibiza TDi beating a modena. Know which I'd rather have though.

That's class, I'd love a Nova like that - keep it totally standard too (well except maybe on the inside where you couldn't see it). Imagine the fun!

 

[sutherlandm]

Cat - You'd LOVE a NOVA?!!!!!!!!!!!!

PMSL. Oh go on, deny it would be fun destroying a Ferrari in a Nova [)]

 

[sutherlandm]

I can think of about 2353551351 different models of car I'd rather destroy a Ferrari in...!

Top Gear tuned up Lada maybe?!

 

[Cat1.4]

Now you're talking!

 

[djhorace]

That is class! It reminds me on that clean standard looking MK3 Escort with the 4x4 tuned Cossie lump that was on here recently!

 

[cjp2k]

how does it get traction though... !?!? all that power, in a nova = wheel spin city!

unless hes got some fancy diff etc in it

 

[RJH]

The spectators you can hear laughing in the background cracked me up!! []

 

[TheBoy]

If you look closely its RWD and you can hear the turbo - just a stripped out strip car built for the 1/4 mile...much fun on a budget!

 

[djhorace]

There are some souped nova's comverted to 4x4 as well to loose the wheels spin problems. Not sure how that guy managed it though.

And to think the Nova cost less than the 4 wheels on its competitor, makes it really funny!
