It's about 48k, but considering the mods are worth around 12-14k and you get a 3 year warrenty I don't think it's too bad. Will rape many 'supercars' Was tempted to order one but would rather finish my Makinen as thats an all time Evo classic

looks good that but im curious to know if it can be a serious contender against supercars - such as ferrari's, porsches etc.
I suppose if those figures are achieved, then it suppose it wouldnt be far behind a supercar, but i still dont think it has the power to rape one
btw, can these be tuned further?

Cn't remember which mag though, might have been autocar or something but wasn't some crap like max power or fast car though

Traction and handling, would like to see many super cars keep up with it down a B road. And yeah it was up against the Zonda last month and did VERY well so theres your answer...can be tuned up, many Evos running well over 800bhp now
