The supercharged Indy in the video was mk sportscars demo car at the time,its now been sold,gone over to its new owner in france,the supercharger was
a TTS conversion kit,fitted by Steve at MK,the cost is around £2500 to do the full conversion including fitting a thicker head gasket to reduce the
compression,turns a rapid car into a very rapid car,but on the downside reliabilty was a big problem,so you have to ask if its worth the extra
investment and reliabilty problems for little gain in overall lap times.I am sure you will be more than happy with the stock gsxr1000 ,power is
nothing without control,as Danny Keenan shows here in a video when we where having a play at another trackday at Bruntingthorpe

Just to add the price I quoted was what mk could buy the kits for trade,retail as Phil says above you would be looking at nearer £4000,and thats
without fitting new rods and pistons which you realy do need.

Looks like another date for 09 then.
Has anyone been over to the ring in one of these cars...and if so did they drive there or tow the car?

How much power can I expect to see from the gixer 1000? MK Say that it'll be around 185 with a power commander?
Also I have opted for the Cobra Black leather seats but some have said that you might be sat too high....anyone have this problem or does it make a
problem with the full roll cage that i am also going for?

Wow they still seem like good figures..My E46 M3 had 360bhp tuned by simpsons but i never really timed it doing standing starts it was mostly track
days so i have nothing to compare it to.
I'm sure that these cars will blow it away off the lights and then the power and aerodynamics would take over around 80-100mph of the M3?
Would this be a fair analysis?

You will blow away an M3 assuming there's the odd corner thrown in. Here's a vid of me in my old R1 Indy reeling in a 500bhp GT2 at
Oulton. There's nothing much faster for the cash.

In my opinion your better off with the standard MK fibreglass seats,they are top quality,very strong and light weight, and they ensure your sat low
down in the car,you can always fit some pads to them,as I did with mine to stop you sliding about in them.

What sort of top end do these cars do and is it stable as the aerodynamics aren't like a normal car?
Would love to hear any stories of anyone going to the ring in one of these as might be going to spa then there in the summer?

Most seven styled BEC's you'll be looking at between 115mph & 130mph tops, depending on engine CC. It's quite comfortable upto
about 90mph but once you exceed this your head gets buffeted in the wind which makes your eyes shake from side to side It does in ours
anyhow........
The aerodynamics are similar to those of a brick It's very stable though.
