So. On a serious note - reading through here - there are a goodly number of seriously powerful cars...
Why don't we try and put a team together for TOTB?
I know we're not talking 1000bhp Evos/Skylines/Imprezas - but surely there'll be a few FWD, RWD and handling discipline competition...

Happily retired
Mine will reappear at some stage in 2008, will have TC, Launch & Flat shift. Horsepower will be more than the 769 seen on the last Dyno run. With a re-specced engine with raised CR it is hoped 800bhp can be breached on a GT40/88.
The Nitrous system will puff around 240 bhp @ a 'pushed' 1000psi.
It is hoped to record a genuine 1000bhp on the gas at some stage.
This is my final offering in the Topspeed game & no future mods are costed, the reality of living on a pension im afraid, but I have a budget to run it for 5 more years if I want to.

Oh - and as a sidenote i'm aiming for around 450bhp with a squirt of nitrous on top. Not out to chase numbers - just maximise the potential of the engine

Already made the fuel rail, plenum assembly and got jenvey manifold and throttle bodies, Steel crank, coil on plug, etc

As for Ian's Fiesta he has sold the rolling shell
He's currently runing an Evo 8 as an everyday car and bought a Corum LM1 prototype open top racecar with Hyabusa turbo power which should hit the tracks this summer fingers crossed.
Was round at his Tuesday night
The Coram should be awsome

There you go..... I think
In my opinion, there is going to be more than a set of koni's needed for these cars if the figures turn out to be real.
