It must have one hell of a spec and theres no way he's getting 450 bhp out of a 1.6 and he dosent mention an engine swap! I dont even know of a zetec with that much power! most ive seen is about 400!

Also the ad's pretty vague and there are no pics of what essentialy is the main feature of the car...the engine. So i would quess its all talk! He's either tryin to rip someone off or he's been ripped off!

In addition with 450 bhp in a s2 id wanna see huge stoppers and a decent suspension setup,and he metions neither!

Also it looks like its running a double capacity intercooler,never get that sort of power with that,o yeah and the sprint times...he must have an awesome set of tyres and super dooper traction control system!

The issue isn't the capacity of the engine (F1 turbo engine were 1.5 and 1000bhp), but the size of the turbo. I doubt that is over 270 on a T3 nevermind the 330 he claims.

Jeeeez, if he has all that for spending £10k, why did I waste my time??!! I reckon I have spent double that.

Also, how is it possible for one person to make SO many spelling mistakes in one auction!!
