bhp comes into play for topend speed

I fitted some mk4 Astra clear side repeaters and debadged my car.

how much torque did that give you? ;)


I don't know, I was too busy trying to brake from 288mph down the High Street to work out torque figures, those two mods make my car go well fast! :!

Still, I think a 15.849 1/4 mile with 140-145bhp is still good! :)
