520 ish would be my eventual power, i imagine over 180s at brunters but don't really know! Rod will tell all

I just wanted to know about gear ratios as I couldn't believe std gearing could be possible of 200+!

The internet is a wonderfull toy for this but facts are facts my car is & will remain the fastest .
Carlo 196 is 200bhp short of record Power but they didnt believe my Power so asked me to attend to see the record destroyed . I remember taking stick from you when i said they were 150bhp short & had no chance. Remember the Topspeed record is maths not bullshit so you cant fudge it & its best to listen to someone that knows about these things, maths is my game.
To take on my car today will require 1000+bhp cos why you lot chat garbage on here my car is still being developed. 860bhp now off gas & 300bhp 'push' potential. All i want is a challenger but they aint there, of course the Topspeed record is not important & who cares but the number of times that certain people bring it up & start the sniping suggest it is .

I will be back on probably Wednesday lads so plenty of time to vent your spleens & change nothing .

Read above rod, if you could get off your high horse for one minute that would be great
