No chance, its never been built to drive, just to stand and look at

I voted that /\ lol

But on a serious note, lets hope it makes it to a show or 2 this year, because in all honesty, that car has the potential to be one of the quickest cars in the country.

If it makes 550bhp and weighs 850kg power-weight = 650bhp/per tonne which is absoloutely funking stonkingly quick!

But all that power and fwd..... 0-60/qtr mile will probably not be its strong points.

I didn't say anything about the 1/4 ;)

I would happily place a large some of money on that car spanking a 'supercar' from 40-120ish

Yup its a TDI S-line. Love it, its got 18's as standard, loads of torque, great ride quality, fast, bose stereo and full leather.

Honda was sold on saturday to a guy from sunderland.

Cool.

Be careful with the chip. My mate has the same car with an aftermarket chip and after 35000miles the clutch has gone. He doesn't think the clutch copes very well with the extra torque.

If the Nova's a benchmark to go by that clutch will last Rick 3500 years then.
