My bad I got confused by the Norris name. If someone had of said "Norris Evo" it would've clicked a little earlier!

As much as it pains me to say (as you can't get a nicer a bloke than Keith Cowie), this is MUCH more impressive than Keith's Skyline, as I'd like to see Keith's car put in a time around a handling circuit .

The Norri Evo is THE BEST all round car currently out there (even if the shell prep was done by Stevie Wonder ) .

Very good time

I cant help but think he might come into the same problems Clive from RC used to have though. If it grips it shits the gear box I am sure they were Holinger gearboxs aswell.

Bloody bloody impressive! Any idea on his 60fts?

As stated such an impressive car considering it isn't drag orientated! Defo an 8 second car, anyone know the street legal record at the minute off hand? 8.8 isn't it?
