Just read your feature, lot of work gone on to make it.

Did PE tell you that you had 420bhp ?

Done a RR day with them and only had 339bhp in my XR4i Cosworth and my car beats all your times

Mine was also tested at Brunters.

Mine relined PE's 2WD Dyno. It saw 380lb ft at 4500 RPM.

Chris at PE said its at least 400BHP!! So thats some reccomendation!

The times we excellent for FWD on a slightly damp cold day.

I backed of from my top speed run when the ACT's reached 44 degrees C and I wanted to DRIVE my car home.

Still not convinced your car makes that sort of power or torque

I respect the fact you backed off from the top speed but your 60-100 time should be faster than mine due to you having more power (at least 60bhp + and torque 30lb/ft +) no traction issues as well and you are 1.01 seconds slower

As said above mine was tested on PEs RR and tested at Brunters.
