don't know if this will help but my cousin raced a 355 in his 300 brake scooby and killed him, over took him on a round about and was gone.

its true as i've got the video on my phone.

don't think the indian chap driving the 355 was too pleased.

was spouting some shit about nos, 4 wheel drive and how he would have nailed him on the motorway. lol.

over 150-160 the sporty Fiat would edge it. Bamber raced a 512TR in his genuine 300hp+ Astra mk2 and was glued to him till 150 then the 512 just pissed off into the distance.

The one Tony quoted was the 390bhp Testarossa - not the later more powerful 512TR... .

The Astra was obviously not geared to do much more than 150?

6sp f28 Calibra box with 25mph per 1000 in 6th. Bambers Astra regularly clocked 169mph on GPS but the 512 wasted it over 150. It sounded awesome as it fooked off

Its the top end where its extra power will tell.

RST will win.The testiclerossa is a pig to drive quickly-dogleg box no pas ect.

390bhp is also a factory quote,think 340-360bhp.
