476bhp, 0-60 in 4.7 sec...oh my.

All that BHP and only 0.2 seconds quicker to 60 then mine which has 126bhp less?

Nice car all the same, probably weighs the same as the moon lol.

2tongues All that BHP and only 0.2 seconds quicker to 60 then mine which has 126bhp less?

Its because it cant put it all to the wheels Sad When topgear tested it, they said every time they gave it a bit of grunt the traction control would be there taking it away. So I guess the answer is some fat-ass rear tyres and maybe one of those traction gizmos.

550bhp+ is easy with nothing but tweaks. I've even seen one at 650bhp with nothing but a pulley upgrade and retune. So if you can get it to the floor, its there for the taking Smile
