About guessing:

120/130 bhp.....? Where are the people who think 1400cc turbo sucks? hehe lol.

Never got it on a dyno as it costs money which I prefer to spend on fuel and driving.

This is with a co-driver, and front interior. Back interior is stripped.

Just awesome Frits, looks stupidly quick on the loose surfaces. LOL at that stupid puma scrabbling for grip while you just hurl it into the corners and seem to have double the exit speed. Great driving.

Well, it was scary fast hehe. The car is controlable, for a certain space. One of the first runs I got completle next to the track on the right site. Well, you can see whats left from the track lol.

Oh, and both new engine mounts where killed after this trip :P After that I made those new mounts myself.

Nothing really.. No damage.

The metal thing in the bumper was a bit damaged. A big hammer did the job.
