Totally agree, Well Done Mark

Mark, no disrespect to it's former guise, that was an awesome car, but it looks the absolute mutts now.

This is just as mean as hell. Twice as sinister and mean looking as it was.

Cannot wait to see this in the flesh. It is so good to see someone doing this. Love the wheels too.

feels great, blinkin at least 1200 hp in 2,400lbs with mahoooozive turbo,s is gonna feel awesome i think a turbo feeling is so much different than a big na mtr

Closer to 2,000hp

To say it's going to take some getting used to, could be a understatement

well i had not got a clue so was very conservative,

The question is Mark. .......Have you got the" BLEELOOKS" to use all that BHP and keep your foot in when your Rissole starts"Twitching"?????

Straight away, then No

After a few runs & some seat time, then yes

What sort of times are predicted Mark ???

I have never driven a turbo motor, apart from my 335, which doesn't really count.

So I have to learn how to stage, spool, boost ramp, etc, so will never be able to go straight off the bat.

Then all about learning to put the power through the ground

With Power & weight it has Potential for 7's, I will wait n see how the car feels, how I feel, so I will start with reduced Boost & go from there....

Well done Mark .. car looks superb. That is WAY LIGHTER than I expected

I've only ever ridden bikes with big turbos, but judging by the performance of those current promod esque road cars we see running I think the mid and top end acceleration is in another league compared to normally aspirated
You'll be grinning (and shaking) for a long time
Can't wait to see it even if it don't turn a wheel

Cheers Mark.
Sounds as though its going to be a lot of fun getting to grips with it

Well, confirmed today, car will not be ready for the Nats.

Bit of a Bananarama!, but not much I can do about it .... If only I had another week or so

Sorry to hear that, Mark - I know the feeling!

I think the amount of work you have put in is totally inspiring.

Hot Rod Drags?

Absolutely no traction at that event though..........

Only thing with powerful turbo cars at full flight that ive driven and experienced as a passenger (near 1000 Hp twin turbo) is that you can feel the pressure building and almost imagine the stress things are are now under
I can only compare it to blowing up a balloon, if you keep adding pressure its gonna go...and you can sense it getting near, its just when ??
I/C pipes, intercooler, head gasket ?

But so much fun

Bloody Hell........Mark you just cant leave it alone can you ....It looks ace ...its my favourite car out there ...
