Default Standard cars with 350+bhp?

Ok, lets have a list of all standard production cars with 350+ bhp.

I'm not talking about supercars but more of the Audi RS4 type of production cars

My brother in law has just bought a 56 plate Audi RS4 avant, couldn't buy a new one as there is a waiting list, V8 414bhp, i will give it a test drive on Boxing day Another friend has just sold his Ferrari 360 modena for a RS4 & says the RS4 is quicker on the road.

Skyline GTR's were thought to be well above the 'japanese gentlemans agreement of 280bhp' max...read in many places i.e. wiki they are thought to be 325bhp from the factory .....standard 0-60 of 4.7secs and mid 12s 1/4mile backs this up imo.

i want my fucking r32 back i miss that big bastard mo' fo' car

Do not get a tuscan, i had one for a year 9k on the clock whwen i got it.It had a full complentory rebuild from tvr at 6k when i took it to tvr power they told me the engines last 6k ish they are all diif oil ways etcf really bad parts in the engine.I forgot the place its not tvr power but somthing like that they work with al melling the engine designer and they have redone most internals to the correct spec its meant to be.Which would be reliable soo say lol but it is a race engine lol

The problem with the Noble is I like my comforts for long journeys & I dont think they're comfy even for short trips

The only TVR's I would consider are a Sagaris or a T350 but with all the horror stories I've heard about TVR reliability etc I think I'll steer clear of them.

Alot of cars these days with 350bhp are closer to there limit than they was a few years ago i mean most are tuned alot better from the factory for efficiency

back in the day you could get up to 12 bhp just from a exhaust etc these days from a modern car you will be lucky to see 2 bhp

Bentley Mulsanne Turbos, can get a tatty one for well under 2 grand, and have 330bhp and 450lbft as standard, running only about 7psi, no intercooler, and the most restrictive exhaust ever.

I sooo shouldve bought the one for a grand when I had the chance, 6.75litre turbo V8

You'll need it!!

My dad had three of the fookers!

I wish they had rear screen heaters, the amount of time we spent pushing them!!

Fair play, most of it was tank range and not technical!!

I swear thats why he had four kids!!!

Find a good one now and it will be ..............................................


















































A right waste of fooking time!!
