Performance data
Ed Curtis claims I shouldsee 325-350HP at the rear wheels…………..yettobe proven (a bit optimistic in my opinion!). Extremely quick though, based on my g-tech consistently runs inmid 5 second range for 0-60 times. Obviously the biggest issue is rear tire hook-up, but the Dunlops are pretty sticky!

Besides being extremely quick, I’m very pleased with braking set-up. Car will stop on a dime and very hard pressed to get any
brake fade after repeated stops.
