thread_title:  Vandalization 

message: I believe that may be correct, if so, more should be made of it.  
1) All the best supacars use carbon/ceramic
2) Only motorcycles use steel rotors.  Steel can't absorb and dissipate the amount of heat generated by hauling 3500lbs down from speed, so cast iron is used.  That is why you see Porsches and M cars with rusty rotors if they sit for more than five minutes.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.63.88.111 (talk) 20:53, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Steel Brakes?

message: Currently, this article contains a short paragraph and a list of specifications. It should be written as a standard article. I am currently busy with rewriting the Saleen S7 article, and woudl not be able to greatly contribute. However, if no one is willing to rewrite this article, I will try to do so. —Mr Grim Reaper (talk • contribs • email), 20:53, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not much more you could do with this article as there isn't that much information on it, I suppose we could break up the specifications into engine,brakes etc and add a bit more background info on the car but that would seem to be about all we could do.--Sat84 05:35, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I know there isn't much information, but my point was to turn a list of specifications into a written article. —Mr Grim Reaper (talk • contribs • email), 21:32, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

text: This article should be updated to present tense, at this stage its like writing upcoming car and has lots of estimates and not actual real data -->Typ932 T·C 17:20, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not written as a proper article 

message: The trivia section should  not be kept as is, but shoudl be incorporated into other sections. —Mr Grim Reaper (talk • contribs • email), 21:52, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I agree that It shoudl be included, but where? Under what section? History?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr Grim Reaper (talk • contribs) 21:37, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

text: I moved the incident section under "History." I feel this may be more appropriate. —Mr Grim Reaper (talk • contribs • email), 01:29, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia section 

message: This section states "On November 11, 2007, the T1 surpassed the Top Gear track record of 1:17:6, held by the Koenigsegg CCX, with a time of 1:10:6.". This is factually inaccurate - the CCX does not hold the "track record" (the Renault R24 and Aston Martin DBR9 were both faster than either the CCX or the T1), although the CCX is (still) the leader of the "power lap" table. It's a subtle, but important, difference.-- 87.194.60.87 (talk) 22:45, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Rewrote "...track record of..." to "...Power Board leader's time of..." Hopefully this is better. —Mr. Grim Reaper at 02:20, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

text: I changed it back, as a sleeping policeman is British English, thus making it suitable for this article, per WP:CARS.—Mr. Grim Reaper at 22:26, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Error in Reviews Section

:Fixed. :] —Mr. Grim Reaper at 22:47, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citation for shifting times 

message: Shouldn't sleeping policeman be used rather than speed bump? Sleeping policeman is British (correct me if I am wrong), constituting that British spellings and word usage be used. —Mr. Grim Reaper at 01:28, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  IMHO sleeping policeman is arcane and not in widespread vernacular use in the UK. Speed bump is more widespread and is the term used on the Power Laps page itself. Ergo I support speed bump.--John Gibbard (talk) 14:43, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Speed bump or sleeping policeman? 

message: Does anyone have any Wikipedia-compatible images of the Caparo T1 RRV? —Mr. Grim Reaper at 01:28, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Free RRV images 

message: The article currently says "The T1 is reported to be capable of exceeding an estimated maximum speed of 205 miles per hour"
What exactly does this sentence mean? It can exceed an estimated maximum? It's not really a maximum if it can exceed it. Nor if it is estimated. And the weasel words of "is reported" don't help either. JonRB (talk) 14:42, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Fixed. :) — Mr. Grim Reaper at 17:16, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  When is maximum not a maximum? 

message: A recent edit (by Samkuzma) brought to attention a discrepancy: the official site lists the fuel capacity as 55 liters in the brochure and as 70 liters under Specifications. Which should be used? Which is more up to date? —Mr Grim Reaper 04:01, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fuel capacity: 55 or 70 liters?
