to put it into perspective, I raced a TVR coming from a roundabout onto a dual carridgeway in my renault 5 turbo running 22psi (in car boost) approx 180bhp, and the TVR even from the word go just totally left me for dead, its the fastest car Ive EVER seen on the road, the back end was literally...
I wonder over the next few years what sort of performance mods will be available for the 172. If I could stick neck and neck with a 330 up to 120 with my bird in the car, then im sure that on my own with a few bhp more with some mods would see me safe. Im not modding it for the next 3 years...

if your looking for performance and arnt too bothered about leather seats, air con etc, and want to save some money in the process get the cup, its still an amazing car - ive had mine a week now, owned a 5 turbo for 5 years which was quite modified, and I never thought id be able to buy a brand...
I hope it was a 330 and not a 328, id be dissapointed if it was a 328 :P ....... whatever it was it sat exactly parrallel to me upto 120 before I backed off coz of my girlfriend going crackers ! there wasnt an inch in it at all. I thought it was great, partly due to the fact he pulled into the...
hey all,
right Ive had my cup a week now, done 500 miles in it so its probably just broken in.
Anyway, came off a roundabout tonight onto a straight stretch of dual carridgeway about 3 miles long, not a car on the road except for a BMW which came tearing round the roundabout and sat on my...
