Yeah but even at 1bar you need to be weary of hard launches and clutch slipping if standard clutch, they have a bad rep for chocolate 'boxes but as with most cars of this age, unless you treat them right then you may encounter problems.
My old one was a great car, proven 300bhp and standard box, used to drive it hard and it never let me down once, admittedly I wasn't launching it every day, but it had some stick.
