this is a quote from the guy building it
I guess most people were amazed that it is a road legal proposition too. It has been MoT'd, taxed, and insured before (£180 from Adrian Flux for the record). It churns out almost 1500 lb/ft @ 2600 rpm and gets to 120 at a little over tickover. The best part was the fact that it appealed to everyone, I didn't see one person take it in, and walk on by without either touching it, shaking their heads or just standing there, open mouthed.
As it stands, it'll only put out about 800 bhp@1600 rpm. Max revs are achieved at about 2300 rpm. That bhp easily be raised to 1400+ bhp with not too much bother and only a few minor obvious tweaks and additions. But huge bhp isn't the name of the game, anyone can bolt on superchargers etc.. that was considered and discounted. This is as much an exercise in handling the torque and getting a 'usable' road car (which it is)
