that's why a shonky old RS Ford will never trouble those big boys at Brunters

I think one day an RS will crack 217mph at Brunters it will need to run circa 950bhp for 30secs to do that but it may be some time off yet & not mine.
I'm 95% certain the 237 mph was still done with 1048 hp just a better run, I think there were issues on the 228 mph run, I think a stage 4 600 hp gtr is good enough for near enough double ton at brunters from what I've read, the huge torque curve must help aswell with constant 800 lbft+ that gundam must have, mine has made over 800lbft easily on pump fuel so gundam may even be 900lbft+
Edit I've just checked gundam runs e85 1048 hp 975 lbft! That explains it then! Lol insane torque
