Hi Craig been looking for that vid for ages since I lost it by accident!
It IS all about power to weight! As is mentioned, his car is 880kg. In the vid, mines full road trim, plus 3 people, PLUS my boot was reemed full of spare parts and tools, so I estimate my car was 1450kg ish....

True Steve, the laad with the Clio will know for sure, but I'm sure his box is really low ratio'd...
Where-as my lovely F28 is doing 100mph just around 4k in top gear!
