8.999, second place in Europe.
Considering he's moved up from 10th to 2nd in about 3 events, I reckon there's a high chance it'll be Europe's fastest next time he tries.

Sounds like you are trying your hardest to "bait" and its not working.
Out of this world?? So looking to hit under the 8s??

If 1000hp means under 8's, then yes.

1000hp engines in America tend to make less over here for some reason.
There was a guy in the vwdrc who bought a 9 second beetle from the states and it wouldn't do less than 11 over here.
Not saying it won't happen but it's quite likely it'll be less powerful than they think

DE-tuned, still more than the 1000. "about 1100-1200 give or take" as you do

gluing the full track isn't necessarily a good thing mind... can slow you down at the top

secrets are pointless though. although half the time its because the people dont actually know what they have, as they dont build them themselves.
