In another video it says it 600 something and in another video it goes of the drag strip, I think he wrote it off.

I'm no motorsport expert but I'd believe the thing's running close to what he's claiming. Shame he can't drive for shit though, first video on the OP he hits the limiter about 3 times.

i just thought from the vid with the M5 he didnt leave it like a 750bhp car? M5 is what 400bhp presuming its an E39 and he would have had 300bhp on it and less weight. still nice none the less.

Aye that's what I was thinking but he does get a good few lengths on it considering it's an M5.

I've never been in a 750bhp c20let powered e30 BMW so I have no idea how fast it is supposed to be.

Can somebody explain why that Astra needs roll bars etc when its running 10s but the likes of Specky who's just run a 9 has none of that?

Would greatly help keep the front wheels in contact with the road. Must be a shite setup though if it's only getting 10s then?
