Cracking car tho and definately surprises people Much better sleeper would be Take one non descript and unwanted Omega 2.0 Select Add twist of lime - stir and voila Needs banded steels and trims for the win

Honda V6's.....don't think they were quite as quick as the T-series, but rally driver Tony Pond held the record for lapping the Isle of Man TT course in one at an AVERAGE speed of 102mph, so they definitely didn't hang about !! There's a DVD of that available from Duke Video www.dukevideo.com/Bikes/DVD/TT%20Isle%20of%20Man/TT%20General/TT%20Challenge%20DVD%20NTSC.aspx

	That rover 420gsi is a pretty good sleeper! Most people wouldnt bat an eyelid at that! Quite suprised no ones mentioned this... Suppose you all left it for me to post? If you don't know, its a polo with a special toy that whines (in a good way, not like your missus) under the bonnet. Easily tunable to 150bhp, weighs about 800kgs. ;D

	stinkwheel said: These are great, owned 3 now. Looks to all intents and purposes to layman a BX TZD turbo diesel, same bodykit, spoiler etc. But 170hp as standard 0-60 of 7 seconds from the factory and a powerband of 4400rpm through to 5500rpm. FWD rally car for the road ;D ;D The old fella owned one of these a while back, the 16v with the mi16 engine. Proper rapid car! Ugly but rapid ;D
	Yes that is me with roy walker in my avatar, TOUCH ME!!
