    Hell Yer, it was mad in the 'big' car, just scream down the road then dump the boost, picking up the next gear

    jesus Sam,

    500bhp / ton is REALLY going to fly!

    What's the target on the strip?

    hopefully to get the end without taking off, or anything falling off ! lol
    It does depend of the strip, I know Sambo was struggling to get grip on last years set up, dropped to low boost and I think the road tyres, 2WD and was in 11-12's ?? I wasn't clearly paying that much attention, or making notes

    Like Chris said, if nothing falls off and car goes in straight line then low 11s or maybe even high 10s should be possible :)

    Wow. 500BHP per ton is going to make for some eye opening handling. Somehow I think this car is raising the bar of what can be done to such a miniscule car! Any plans for a different engine in the future Sam?
