There about 500hp but 1500 kgs and 4wd. Rs turbo about 1000 kgs.
the forum was so busy back then
hi mate haha yes it was just under 300 on the set up i had.. was 328hp on a t4 turbo i ran.. then in the end changed everything.. and it then made 340 and that wasnt even on full boost.. ran omex.. quaiffe atb etc..alot of people said oh it cant be that quickc etc... alot tried to give it stick on here.. but at the end of the day i took the car to a ford classic day.. ran my first few runs and came home with a 13.1 at 118mph.. before i sold it it ran a 12.8 or 12.9 at 122mph. my mate has a showroom and sells cars.. i raced the lambo rolling from 30-40 mph onwards.. if i had raced it off a set of lights then maybe the outcome would have been different.. power to weight ratio was good and to be honest some of the cars i smoked in it.. i was suprised.. even now i have some proper quick cars now but the rs turbo.. had that raw power.. once rolling on a dual carriage way the car was so light and fast... alot of people tell me how fast an e46 m3 is.. i say .. i got one .. and it aint as fast as people make out.. not quick at all.. but its a nice car with some power to drive.. more of a poser car
