Looks very smart, but not so sure about the rear lights...

Should go well if it is Martin's old engine!

not sure about the quater time it says in the 10's !
well the old fellas escort did a quater mile in 10.6
and that was with a 0-60 of 2.9 and a 0-100 of 5.68
so that esort must have done very similar times to get what he quoted ????

kev sharp ?? ive never heard of this what power was this and what quater times ??
if it is into the 10's its as quick as andys focus as that did high 10's 10.8 i think so must be something special as it is fully trimmed isnt it ? i couldnt see from the pics ??

Yep,used to be my car but i think he's a bit ambitious with the figures unless there's been more work done.Still miss that car though and Harvey if you're reading this i originally bought it off Tim that works for you.When that GT35 chimes in there's not much time for looking at the speedo.

what im saying is these are all fully stripped out cars doing mid 10's
that is a road car with a big engine and half decent box
if it did it then fair play !

McSnapper's car was fully trimmed and on soggy suspension lol

Turbosystems engine, FFD 7-speed box and NO nitrous from memory!

Being Scottisch, the reason for a car this quick was to be able to outpace the ducks in the park to the bread lol
