Probably worse than the 0-60 of a 330bhp saph...

(on Brunters I couldn't put the power down until 4th gear, so it depends on tyres and suspension/rear beam as much as power)

i have a 4x4 but i done a 4.5 last year at Croft, T3 though,now a T35 and more boost.

Take it you will have a T4 fitted, will be hard to launch it and keep it spinning as quite a few bog down.

Will need loads of practice.

somewhere between 4.5 and 9 seconds depending on your launch and wheelspin!its the 0-100 thats more impressive tho!when it catches and goes woohoo!
