Ok so a 0-60 in 3 seconds and that quarter mile time is pretty far fetched BUT that car has beaten much, much more powerful exotica around most circuits in the UK, I've seen it both in the flesh and oddly enough read the race reviews of how it beat Escort Cossies and RS500's and other quick non-Ford's and thought that's impressive - even with a 'snow plough' on the front as you've picked on.
Pretty sure it's about 180bhp's worth of HT Racing engine in a shell that must weight sub 700kg's, you do the maths!
Dear oh dear!!!

so i dont think a 180bhp front wheel drive car will be doing it, even if he does have slicks

No Darren but it's a VERY quick race car and actually COMPETES in a real championship against 500s etc... and beats them! Fair play to the guy (who obviously wanted to 'hard' sell the car... something we're probably all guilty of when selling up).

Martin,
If yours ever comes up for sale, I imagine you will be posting the following performance figures to "help" the sale, as it is obviously the "done" thing.
Top speed: 250mph (recorded 227mph at Brunters).
0-60: 1.7s with slicks
0-100: 4.59 with slicks
standing quarter: 9.35 @ 157mph (NO GAS!)
Engine dynoed at 767bhp (NO GAS!).
Holder of caravan towing record (163.01mph).
