Interesting, it lacks in quarter mile for the power it has.

Accident waiting to happen with 16v brake setup with 320bhp/tonne too

Any nova on a 16v brake set up is an accident waiting to happen!

This has to be in the top 10 of the best Nova's ever built, along with Jon Shields previous Nova, A16 VTB.

I tried a few disk pad combo's, worst ever was ebc green stuff pads! , had massive fade coming into a roundabout down from about 120mph (on my private estate), the 16v set up imo along with the v6 set up is ok on a standard 16v nova, but once you try a decent 4 pot set up you would never look back!
I find most people that defend the 16v set up are the people that have never forked out for a decent brake set up before (not saying this is the case here before any one starts throwing abuse!)
