How quick is a genuine 200bhp ERST? Standard weight too.

0-60, 0-100, topspeed etc

Cheers

0-60 will depend on suspension, wheel size ect?

Radders is talking roughly mate!! LOL.

I'd have said that a proper 200bhp RST (and I dont mean one with a chip, exhaust and bleed valve as some people believe is enough to make 200bhp) will do low 6's 0-60 and around 14-15 seconds to 100.

I managed a 0-60 of 6.95 secs with around 190bhp & 200lb/ft.

Standard suspension standard wheels, weight etc.

edit to add: Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres too.
