Bottom line is, IMHO this clueless idiot selling the car doesnt actually know the spec though, so you cant say what it would be from what he says, as what he says is a nonsense.

ah the infamous derek hasting lol....spoke to him several times and had to give up even gracing the muppet with a wave due to the bullshit stains on my clothing from previous meetings.i truely believe derek is smoking on the crack pipe!!!!!!
he told me he also bought a dyno proven 1100hp skyline from japan that ran 8 sec quarters and he was going to use that for racing track/strip.........it must be an invisable skyline as that was 2 years ago.also claims he had it at 204mph or sum shit on local motorway.

he never got the skyline. it was originally a swap deal he was doing with this escort iirc and it fell through for some unknown reason.

only the fact that hes actually a pleasant old guy to talk to and the feeling of it being a liberty saved him from having his floor wiped with his face by me.

dont realy know anyfin about the car
but seen it at knockhill a couple times
i just assumed it was 350bhp(ish) by its perormance
obviously was nothing compared to andy's car on the bends
but even on the straights it looked nothing special
and with anything close to 800bhp and tyhe responce on 12-1
it should be amazing on the straights
and far from it
