Good man.
Straight line is easy. Take 'em on the twisties...
I am curious though to pit it against others as i would struggle to think of any other road car that could beat it once its in gear. Off the line drags are not for the G and its stupidly lightweight clutch
This would smoke your car Sarnie. (Martin Hadland's own car. Since he totalled it a few years ago in Morocco in the Gumball he's built a complete new one which is even more extreme. The engine spec is quite secret.)

I believe his latest engine is now Dyno'd at over 700 bhp.
I also have to mention Steve Scott's Ex Carlos Sainz WRC Escort. I've been on track when he was out in this and it was miles quicker than anything I've ever seen at Donington by a long way. He came into the pits when I was wiaiting to go out and his brakes caught fire becasue he was pushing so hard and obviously didn't do enough colling down laps. Awsome car. He's currently running 600 bhp and has contended the last 2 years in the British Ford Saloon Car Championship. Steve is an ex Rally Car driver and runs A1 Rally Sport at Sandy Nr Bedford.

I agree with what your saying, and of course they'd smoke the G, but when I said road car I mean't a normal totally unmodified car off the forecourt not ex rally cars
Sarnie,
I reckon a top fuel dragster would have you from a rolling start at the Pod
Come on Kev, what's your point
I reckon after about 6 times trying I would smoke the Lambo at Santa Pod in the Volvo...... The clutch would still be in one piece as the front wheels scrabble to place the 140bhp onto the tarmac. The Lambo would have a £3k service!
I reckon the Lambo could have a service after the green light and still beat the Volvo
True, they should be quick at it replacing as many as they do!
