Not sure on the full spec but i know the charger is the highest stage that jabba do.
I'm sure he said it was 160-170, fly or wheels i couldnt say.
He hardly uses it since buying his R32 lol.

I had one, was only a 1.0 and I loved it, look fantastic with the right mods and the G40s are little pocket rockets. Sometimes I wish I didn't get rid of mine when I look back. Cracking little cars 
Mine
