Im suprised at the torque figure thought it would be a lot lower than that.

Good result

Torque does seem high. I think they are meant to be around 275lbft

the previous owner had spent quite a few quid on it, gruppe m everything titanium exhaust the ram air etc. ive had the car beyond 175mph with ease and often wondered if he had done anything else to it, chipped or whatever. but suppose i will never know. he did say it was derestricted,all i can say is that it feels quick and thats compared to my 358bhp escos

apparently they all arent restricted to a set mph. hear loads of conflicting stories regarding top speeds.

Can quite believe that, we were at 167 iirc and it was still pulling without a problem, just the fact that my mates GTR was throwing up so many stones we thought we might lose a windscreen

Very impressive bits of kit
