WR1 Owners Club

How do these compare to the WR1's chaps ?

These are from a STANDARD M5 tests carried out at Brunters.





Reading the American forums, there are some better times posted but these seem very fair.

thought they were limited to 155mph as standard?

Its quicker to 60 than mine by just over a second, dont think ill take on an m5 up santa pod.

I personally like to see 30-70, 50-90 etc... rolling figures can throw some interesting fingures into the mix.

Not bad compaired to a wr1 tbh.

Rubbish compaired with an FQ400 though

Are these figures with a prevailing wind and hoisted mainsail?

They are only limited in 7th Gear !

They will pull 172mph in 6th.

There was loads posted on the thread I took these from mate, but I couldnt make sense of them, the yanks are super serious about all that stuff !!

Very impressive figures although they must have been taken on a dry day and thus little wheel spin

If you post about a ding expect a cheeky wee comment or two, we have all been there and it's not as if anybody got hurt (although Bono may have sconed her dock when they got home).

it supposed to do 60-100 in 5.1 seconds, does seem a slow time for a 500bhp car

That could be explained by its lack of torque Rob ?

All the power in the V10 is over 6000rpm upto 9000rpm.

thanks for the explanation, didnt realise they revved that high, must sound nice

This one has an aftermarket exhaust on it bud, but they sound really good standard anyway

you prob already know this but evo mag did 5.3 for wr1 5.2 for stippp, must be a good driver?

Mike Woods from Prodrive was the driver who set the figures. & it has been done by an owner too.

it was the Prodrive guy that did the official time that went on the brochures...he obviously wasn't bothered about dropping the clutch and breaking transmission.

Seems feasible to me though....

Tested my launch thing a few weekends ago, 5.5k build 1.4 bar then side step the clutch. Was pretty grippy tarmac too, so only just got 4 wheels to slip..made for a quick sprint for sure (DCCD on Lock). Don't wanna do that too often just incase.

Obviously a typo.... FPMSL, you could do 0-60 in 6th in less than 5.3 in the WR1... The standard WR1 is basically a "factory standard tuned" STi PPP, with better diff controls
