My good mate has the quickest Turbo Nova in the uk (Santa pod times) and when the new engine in it will be 550bhp off gas and he is also building a nova turbo track car that will be over 340bhp and don't forget power over weight has a huge factor!

.550bhp? I'm a bit of a Nova-head, so I'd be interested to know who that is?

Hmmm we all need 400bhp now to claim the advantage back.
I`d be very hesistant to drag race any of the new hot hatch crop. REVO stage 1 leon cupra 300bhp anyone?

Don't feel bad.
15y ago I was knackered after a hard nights work and on my way home, was at P2 on the grid at the lights half asleep against some mini cabbiie in a FWD nissan. I was in my RWD chipped 320bhp saphire cosworth. Got tottally spanked as I was hitting the rev limiter and moving forward at tortoise pace through poor clutch control. No excuses but I was tired.
Lost no sleep over it.....sh*t happens!

2.0 turbos from the calibra are quality. My mates got an mk3 astra witht the engine and its running 350bhp and has about 70bhp shot worth of nos on top of that. Not the best every day car tho!
