Mr Maxwell's i was the first to get a run it with him 0-60 in about 3 sec's
Its the fastest thing ive ever been in handles superb and stops really well for having cortina brakes!!
Its a serious piece of kit a great all round package.
And he drives the ar$e of it.


Cheers Sean.....

A couple of my mates have had them over the years. I think the quickest one was running a 20L 16V Vauxhall for sprints and hillclimbs and £uck me did this thing go

Been out in the Mega Blade one as well but it just didnt seem to have the same poke about it. Seemed to lack torque so if you got held up behind something doing around 70 / 80mph it took an age to get the speed back. Oh and about 4 downshifts

Mental machines though and scruffythefirst i can only imagine that with the cossie engine it must be insane

Father in law has one. And he let me have a go in it.

Only a 1.8 Zetec with throttle bodies, but still went pretty quick.
