143lb/ft here  
yeah but it has 60k iin the car or something to get it to that.
True that is a big spec but the standard jackson racing setup for a few k gets you close to 300bhp and pritty much 200lbft
Been out on one and it felt rather brisk at this spec 
aye, raced a couple with that kinda set up on them. another local type-r has one, or did. has changed it for something else i think.
still, id imagine a 300bhp z20let to be quicker.

A mate of a mate took me out in a supercharged CTR it was not bad...infact it was pretty damn quick and sounded the bollocks.
At a rolling road day I went out in a Sumo power Turbo'd CTR it was bloody mental....when it hit Vtec I was like shiiiiit

300bhp ish and 200lbft ish
That price includes a fully mappable ECU so it will be able to rev more and have lower vtec point. So it will gain a wider band of power especially aswell as gaining forced induction benifits.
Also gives you launch control

Been out in one on Bilsteins was pretty harsh and ok it was much better than standard but it generated more grip rather than handled in a fluid manner....although Joe did and still drives like a badger Mine was on Eibachs and tbh it wasnt really inspiring.
Nic I have been out in a phase 3.5 SRi turbo with VXR Turbo and a Cossie -32 actuator which was bloody quick.
Rob R also had a phase 3 GSi and that was quick too. The thing is thee is more to life than having a motorway misile horses for courses I guess?
I took mine on a pistonheads run which was quite demanding and even with a decent suspension set up I still thing it would of struggleed. I was getting my arse handed to me by standard MX5's

Fad i put eibach's on a low millage corsa c, they was a waste of £. The KW's made that car handle so well.
