although it never does go to plan on the first outing, lol
but thats the best power/weight combination im aware of for any UK fwd car that is likely to emerge soon.
1hp per kg is the target, its either make or break really. However it doesn't meet ANY drag racing classes. All the modern cars are heavy, so everything is 1000kg's plus. Dissapointing as limiting weight is worse than limiting power IMO. If the car's heavy it'll go slow, but it also needs more expensive parts. I.e. gearbox etc.
I'm hoping it'll go around the track*, hence the aeros and small turbo (full boost on the last lower spec engine was 4100rpm's (2.1 bar))
It will certainly not go to plan as you know, there are a few quick car's this year we'r involved in, hence me taking my time on my own.
I'll post a seperate thread at some point.
