Hi everyone,
Having owned two seven type cars, one with a bike engine I am now looking at a Z Cars Mini.

I have done a few sprints and trackdays but not seen a Z Cars Mini on track, so .............Has anyone on here done any sprinting, hillclimbing etc. I am trying to judge what the handling is like compared to others.

Have you been to Curborough (little sprint circuit)? If you know the track and have an idea of what a good time is for a complete lap i can PM what z-cars mini's can do around there.

I think the main reason you havnt seen many Z-cars mini's at trackdays yet is purely down to a noise issue as the standard exhaust system which is supplied with the kit is loud for most tracks but most owners are now solving this problem so expect to see a few more out in 2007.

Cheers

I haven't been to Curborough but I know a man who has. I'll find a time and let you know.

Yes I understand the noise problem although plenty of sevens have now solved it. Either with a much larger silencer or two silencers. Am I right in thinking Z Cars run one with two silencers?

It's usually an additional one bolted to the back of the standard one. :w00t:
