So Rod, excuse my lack of knowledge on top speeds runs etc,

The Sierra had 580bhp ive over 900bhp so i may just outrun him over 5 miles
.
The Skoda would be under 200mph on the UK's runways.

What he meant, I think, was that you'd beat your current 2xx.x speed with less power if you took your car out there Rodders.

Optimised Gearing and aerodynamics, although obviously that was more than two words.
Nevertheless, it is impressive. Sounds crap though.
Any details on the actual car anywhere ?
