as above benni, kevs car couldnt do 200..
but, with 1000hp i would have thought it be slightly quicker still
as if i get my ffd ratios correct with the 7speed it would have been geared for 178 (kevs car << )

Those times were from 2004. It's shit over anything Ford that's bothered to turn up to an event, how could it be quicker?

Nice GTR but reckon its a breaker to see 40k from it. Its a 13yr old car and 40k buys a nice DMSed 996tt.
The Jun Lemon and the Top Secret 33 were punted about at the same sort of money but didn't sell. 25-30k max complete IMO.

Awesome car! Won totb back in the days when proper road cars were entered.Sure he drove to every event and then just drove home afterwards.40k is expensive but what else could you buy with that performance for that money?

Mad car, and the sort of thing I'd love to get a ride/drive in.
But I always think it's probably a nightmare to keep and maintaining that sort of engine isn't cheap. I expect the next owner to forget that.

10k+ rebuild a season and a 4 month waiting list for gearbox parts makes it a very limited market and in the current climate its a breaker sadly.

sorry for quoting the wrong time , they were the ones on the ad
i dont know the up to date times, they do sound rather quick now ha ha
but them other times, for 1000hp compared to times of kev sharps with 350hp less i didnt think were spectacular, but running a 9.7 quater at 150 it nuts
