Questions & Answers
Any idea of the weight of car and Hp please .cheers Mike. pheard (144 • 8:28 am, Sat, 14 Feb )Its about 1120kg and about 200hp. With loads of torque. Revs to 600rpm but I don't often take it over 5k as with the close ratio box and the 3.4 diff that's all it needs. The hp can be increased to around 300hp. As its very reliable. At 200hp. Just needs a better cam and more compression. cliffhard (756 • Saturday, 14 February 2026 )
