had one of these,
quoted £300 for front pads, the parts are very hard to get now, a bit like the rs500
the only problem with them is that 377 bhp and 424 ibs of torque is on the limit,
for the engine and running gear,
its like ford selling the rs500 back in 1987 with 500 bhp and then private owners trying to chip them to 700 bhp,
never ever buy a modded one as there more trouble than there worth so unreliable, the problem is they is litlle to no uprated parts available, even the head gaskets are only available as standard, with no uprated ones to be had, cam chains snap! as well ,
fast but must be standard to have a chance of keeping it reliable,

Not carbs, it was throttle bodies. Full F2 lump (with sliding butterflies) so 280 brake ish.
Cost over 100K. If it hadnt been such a wank colour could have been nice.

That would be down to insurance and lack of parts available if you dont know where to look
But thats good news because I would quite like one of those when the Mrs finally demands I fookin grow up and buy a family car
