Not correct I have know that car for 10 years and Lee is not the hardest driver from mem his times with diff power,
330hp 14 and 99mph 400hp low 13 and 108mph close to 500hp low 12 and 117mph,
He was always happy with what he did and what the car did and it was never abused mechanicly.

Hi all,
Currently it is my car LOL.
Mark Shead knows the car very well as stated in this post, as does Rod, also Dave himself knows the car very well aswell, i acutally meet Dave at the Clarkson shoot out
When we had a blast down the B-roads on the way to the event LOL.
Back then mine was only 330bhp on greens, and i believe YUM was 360, due to a bigger turbo i think.
Anyways the 12.21 run was @ 117 mph. That was my first run in the new spec engine, that mark created. And it was the first time the car was used in moderate anger, i only launched @ 4.5k revs, and the 60ft was 2.0s, a harder launch would see this car into the11s, but as Mark correclty states, i have always been a pansy when launching my car LOL
I also did another run that day, which was even worse LOL. 60ft was 2.5, still did a 1/4 in 13.09 @ 137mph
I have the timing slips.
Im glad that the car is going to a home where the car will be used, and not broke, and believe me, i considered breaking the car for many months.
Regards All
