Total different class to anything else really FWD wise. The Maestro that goes TOTB (is it Andy Nicholls?), and possibly Sunnys FRST along with the other one that did a mad speed on brunters are the only things on-par...
Whats it like on the top end then?
the other ones are paul johnsons black 179 MPH one and paul Roberts is the 0-60 in 4. 6 sec one

Yeah, I'm just wondering how far they have pushed it in 6th gear
Is it a revvy engine?

Well you guessed wrong. It is a totally standard 2.0 8v block, apart from LET pistons and rods. It has a T34 turbo, which isn't that big as Turbo's go these days. It has bags of tourque and would reach a far higher top speed, if it had enough road.
It covers 60ft in 1.69 secs, does 0 - 100 mph in 7.2 secs (which is quicker than an R1). 0 - 62 ( Autronic measures in km) time is around 3 ish secs.
The engine had far more to come out of it, but the season ended before we had chance to test.

I don't have to prove anything to anyone. The cars performance speaks for itself. If you or any one else chooses to question it, That's fine by me.
