Nice!
Bit judgemental aren't you jockc79? So, what cars would you suggest post their power figures on here then? I'm afraid to post mine now, just incase you deem it a "heap of s**t"

It's not just about bhp. It's a lifestyle choice. I couldn't very well turn up to a GM food or Greenpeace rally in a gas-guzzling performance car, could I? They'd look at me askance. My Morris Minor 1000 is perfect.

Lightened running-boards and alloy leaf springs are worth at least a second on the quarter mile.

MY05 with PPP - 300bhp alledgedly....... although threads on here say it could be anything from 270 to 315, obviously mines 315

Dont think it matters as long as you scare yourself once a day !
