Yes and my laguna has 1200BHP
I love the fact that it is a (death trap) "race car" and doesn't even have a Roll Cage

i very much dought that you can put down that much power down through the front wheels only
should have made it 4 wheel drive

RWD can do up to 500BHP
AWD can do up to 1000BHP

A fine example of "turd polishing"

LOL my corsa was about 260 bhp and that was stupid enough
but it did look totally stock bar a set of wheels, full interior the lot
heavy is good, heavy is reliable, and if it breaks, hit them with it

I'm not a fan of fwd either but I believe him.that tigra in the first pic(I'm guessing its the same one but now white) was doing the pod
in 10's the other week.lad I know's kadett c (rwd) pushes low 11's but that's worse than my striker off the line,just has
double the power with his nitrous bottle empty! them vauxhauls aren't far behind the japs once people fiddle seriously.

Probably down to class structure, go in 4wd class and you would need 1000+hp to be competitve.

give credit where credit is due, there's a lot of work in there.
Does worry me the standard looking wheels and tyres and more seriously when you read the spec sheet, the fact that the brakes have not been touched.

most likely just the engine bay thats been seam welded, thats all that normally needs doing, as you tear the body apart with just 250bhp in one of
these
that cars running V6 front brakes, so probably 288mm dia
from memory theres one with 570bhp, that was done by Courtenay I think

Just an oil breather that would usually drop to the crank case, but the novel exhaust exit route blocks it!

Not sure why all the hate/snobbery?? Built for a purpose which it seems to perform well. Tonnes of work done to a high standard.

What!? Timing slip or it never happened (unless you've chipped it to 4-500BHP)

LOL so its not to everybodies taste, but hey its got heaps of power, and goes like stink, isnt that what we are all into?
dont know about these days, but the 0-60 record for FWD cars used to be held by a Corsa, bloke called Adam Kindness from memory, up scotland way, used
to go to the Crail? events etc
I havent been into that sort of thing for a few years, but mine was fun, surely people changing cars about, upping power, lowering weight, doing work
themselves is what its all about
heavy is good, heavy is reliable, and if it breaks, hit them with it

For me, its not what the bodyshell is....
There is a lot of hard work evident in the car, and if its running 10s - He is getting something right.
I wish my Lada had 540bhp.
In fact I wish it had 70bhp
