Not disputing Kevs time or anything, but we always judge cars against his, and 142mph terminal is incredibly high IMO, thing martin H's highest terminal is 136mph and Rods with 700odd is just under 138mph, theres a lot of variables.

Kevs car has the box of gods, and a good gearbox like his is worth about a second on the 1/4mile over a syncro box easy...

I dont see why the std crank should be disputed as it not being 700, has anyone broke a std crank on a tuned road car that WASNT an oil/det issue? No didnt think so

And this car has been dynod at that number, its no estimate like most. And 2.5bar on a GT42 is normal/low, i guess its one of the smaller versions of the GT42 (ie not the 96lb/min comp flow one) as 2.5bar then would be closer to 1000bhp unless there was a serious restriction thas making the boost so high...

What exhaust is it running? If itsa 3" like most cossie aftermarket ones itl be a serious restriction with the engine in car...
