Its nearer 240bhp and i think the team hurricane GTIr was only stripped and had very little engine work done. I seem to remeber seeing that it was around 250bhp.
Well the 172 in PS so not bhp. In reality it should be 168bhp. The 197 will probally be around 188-193 at a guess. Never know it may actualyy have 197.
Very few standard 172's i've seen RR'd have made more than 166bhp at the fly. A viper won't get you much in the way of bhp. Niether will an exhaust. The super chips map if its a good one and matched to your modifications might release a bit. I think your looking at between 172-175bhp.
Leave the stickers for a while. Looking stupid is part of the fun of driving one.
I'm still trying to find the right one to use as an only car. Mad i know but they are great cars. Shame most of them are too track orientated. I went to see one which was perfect for me hood and heater etc etc...
Ok. Its probally best that you don't flat shift in the long run hehe.
One thing i found was the gearchange was very clunky around town speeds. They work better when driven fast officer!
Why don't you flat shift up??
Used to do it in the last R1 striker i drove. Hope its got an uprated clutch or it'll last about a week and the pedal feel with desend into nothingness.
