0-60 7.9
From a rolling start though, until about 65mph it would be pretty close to a 182. Power came in from about 4000rpm, and then screamed all the way to the limited at 7000 - which incidentally was the end of the rev counter which was nice. For instantaneous response/power the 182 is miles...
I had a FRP before my trophy. Loved it to bits.
For ultimate levels of grip, I think you'd have to go very expensive to beat it. Brakes were truly, truly fantastic aswell. Sounded fantastic too, lift off the accelerator and it popped and banged :cool:
Gearbox was perfectly weighted aswell...
I noticed this on the I4 Detailing website, all their stuff seemed quite cheap, and it was a company i'd never heard mentioned before so I presumed it would be a bit gash, seemingly not! :)
First week I had the car I gave it a quick coat of SRP & EGP. Came up surprisingly well, concealed the majority of swirls pretty well!
Very glossy, but not a very deep shine...

From what I've read these trophys handle...
Very close to getting one myself....
Few questions..
When you push them, what sign, if any do they show of the car about to let go?
Does anybody know a time for 50-80mph?
I went and looked at the first one for me yesterday. Tbh, it was the first time I'd really looked at one in detail and they are actually pretty damn sexy.
For the price the guy was offering it at, it was a steal as it seemed, mint. But i'll have to sell my car first.
The thing that blew me...
Hi guys, new user here and this is my first post...
I'm currently in a bit of a dilema, I currently own a Racing Puma, which is nice but I fear it is a bit tooo nice for me, and a bit to flash and a bit of an overkill for what I use the car for (Going to work, trundling around town, motorway...
