Not inside 1.6 ,probably not all all as iirc you need alot more than 500 in aan evo to get there and you'll need massive amount to get to 220, over 1000hp easy.

I noticed a cage'd Evo in Mansfield Woodhouse once next to the big trailor homes place. It was all stripped back, didn't really get a chance to see much as i drove by though!

Not sure if its the same one or not!

Untill these incredible times the figures below looked good.

Simon Norris had 738bhp dynoed when he ran 200.4mph at Brunters in his EVO.
The brunters record is 223mph in a very aero-dynamic Porsche with a dynoed 990bhp. Fastest uk based car Joels viper with 215.8mph with over 900 proven bhp.

These cars must have found a way of beating the laws of physics possible i suppose.

The Evo 6 will have done 200 on the A.38 past the Police headquarters, (and Helicopter base) like a lot of bikers claim.

Hmmmm. Having worked on a couple of 900bhp Evos that pulled just over 200mph at TOTB i'd be surprised if it could be done with 500bhp within those confines...
