engine conversion

i have raced MANY MANY big bhp FWD cars in a straight line. The best being a saxo VTS with a S/C. up to 80-90 i was in front then we stopped racing. if we had a rolling start upto 100 it would sh*t on me but otherwise he was struggling for traction. I have only raced Adis williams engined clio in the wet but up to around 60-70 i was infront simply because of power delivery/grip. the power delivery of a 5 GTT engine in a clio will destroy quick take offs, putting power down out of corners and general driveabilty. I would go as far as saying that once my williams engine has been dropped in, with front strut and coiovers, i will be able to match if not beat 200+BHP R5s simply through power delivery and cornering.

its all gd fun just changing cars from standard though. no one else will have an identicle car to u! but yea know what people mean, having a better starting point is better but as others have said ive spent too much money on my car to now justify selling it.
