Fastest 4 cylinder car in the world to do 0-200mph?
Blimey, just found out what the quickest 4 cylinder car in the world is to crack 200mph
NOT in road legal trim, and is an out and out drag car, so obviously no comparison to people on here, but 7 seconds, holy fuck, thats awesome!
FWD too!
All from a 140bhp starting point with a vauxhall ecotec engine!

Boosted 122 cu in
Saw this car at the Sema show last year in Vegas,The team can change the Engine and gearbox insomething silly like 10 minutes as the whole front clip just unbolts.
Also he said they only get about 20 pases on a engine then it needs rebuilding.
Very cool though
He did also go 7.02 but not at a NHRA meeting.

Well, the gearbox lasts longer than one day, so it beats the hell out of a brand new subaru rally car according to polish television
