So let me get this right, it's an ex Carlos Sainz WRC Cosworth with the best of everything suspension and shell wise (but I understand Stian retained the gearbox), has a "920bhp" engine and on the STRAIGHT at Gatebil it gets overtaken by a 600bhp car . Anything I've missed?
So now 920bhp isn't even fast in a straight line any more?

the biggest problem I see is these big hp engines are rarely run at there full power so no one knows how fast they are,
I always recomend running a sticker for the day saying how much hp its running on that day should sort that problem
Myself I aways run full power always .

I suspect if they experienced a real 900bhp (Rod's car), they would stop claiming the figures that they do .

Also you mention that big turbo's need big rpms... Don't you get that if you run short gearing?

Well why doesnt he fit a turbo for the power he DOES drive with, and then it would be more responsive?
Although wouldnt be as impressive down the pub
