Finally got round to trying the firebolt on sunday,very pleased with the it's first run out seeing as i went with totally kit std even down to the oils,the track was super high grip so most of the day i ran my cobra which was quick as you would expect,for the final i swapped to the firebolt just to do a compare,the car is very easy drive and the biggest suprise was how much front end and steering the car has,far better than my previous mid motor car,rear end grip and drive was plenty and it didn't kill tyres like the forward motor,overall the forward motor was quicker over a lap but over the 5 minutes there wasn't alot to choose between them mainly down to the ease of drive of the vbc and probably over trying with the forward motor.
I have now changed to 40wt oil in the front but everything else is kit std,first full meeting this weekend on grass so looking forward to that,i will let you know how things go after the weekend,i should also have sorted and progress on a forward cab bodyshell
