Its probably not £ per performance wise.. You just need to find someone who wants a 450bhp corsa

Exactly it's a red 106 with the interior removed, which given it has 430bhp was entirely pointless if you ask me as it would have made zero difference to performance.

Depends how you look at it. If what's written is to be believed, a car capable of lapping a track faster than a BTCC car would cost a fair amount of money.

Very good, but why claim ''500 BHP''?
It's such a wonderfully round figure isn't it.

Stupidly overpriced for what you get, yes, he may have spent an absolute fortune building it but that doesn't mean you'll get it back, not to mention the discounts he probably got on all parts for owning the company that built it. Half that price would be a good starting point. They are however very fucking quick with big power, my mates is around 380bhp at the minute and it just grips and goes.
