Ran the Zeus at full power at Kendrew Barracks over the weekend.

A bit slow then.
Jesus that's things rapid! What sort of speed were you approaching on the straight?
that looks well planted and *very* rapid
redline in 5th is 175MPH, just hitting the rev limit before braking.

Screwing!!
All of that car and you are still only 2nd!
Only kidding, it is obviously quite a weapon.
Still hobbling with my leg and this is the first dry event I've had where the car has worked all day. Takes some getting use to as you'll imagine.
WEAPON;-)

Still "bogging" a little of the line - must have cost you 1/2 sec, but looks pretty good everywhere else! 
It is so highly geared at the moment that the choice is wheel spin or bogging down. You'll notice a mistake on the 2nd to last corner when I
don't shift down enough gears and end up in 2nd off boost, that would have cost buckets of time as well.
I didn't think it was too bad for an old bloke recovering from a broken right leg/ankle on his first proper run in an high powered Aero car.
Now where was that thread about 200BHP being too much in a light car 
I think 200bhp in MOST light cars (particularly VERY light cars with the engine at the opposite end to the driven wheels) & under road conditions
is easily enough, I am physically unable to use anything like the full performance of the Furore very often on the road & even then can only do so
for a few seconds if I want to drive anything like sensibly & keep my licence
On a track with a decent set of sticky slicks, a full aero package & the engine at the right end of the car is a totally different ballgame!
Same argument I use to make about a 250 Aprilla or a 600cc Honda being all the bike you needed for the road...I was still out buying Honda CB1100RC
& Honda VFR750R (RC30). Some things never change 
I didn't say I was about to stick a 600cc engine in or detune mine either! On the odd occasions I do get to use the performance it still puts a
huge silly grin on my face!
Mine's only a 1500cc engine after all
