If a road car you should suprise most Aussie performance cars for sure!!
I'm in Perth, WA mate. Car is still licensed but will see track time. Once everything is running right, I will look to get all the modifications engineered and signed off.
Should surprise a few big V8's on the road but in saying that, 600-700+ HP cars here on the road are fairly normal it seems. Lots of modified Jap cars, big HP turbo Ford Falcons and supercharged HSV's running around.

Thinking the same thing. It has a fairly new Gripper diff in it rebuilt by Bara Motorsport. I am not expecting the standard T5 to last very long at all! Looking into a Tremec TKO box as we speak.

I got the joke mate Economy will be rubbish but not a priority at all.
