Ive always been impressed by the times these pulsar's can achieve, but have always been put off by the looks.

If you had say a 300bhp pulsar, fiesta turbo, and escort turbo (for comparisons sake) and they was all rolling at 40mph and then went for it, would there be much in it you think?

I think the pulsar gets such good times on the 1/4 because it is wicked at launching.
