I'd be suprised if they print even half of that spec list, would take up a full page alone

Yeh but that probably has £10k worth of box, £5k worth of rear axle and depending on what engine and spec anything from £5k-35k for a Redtop to a Millington Diamond. Different world mate

Haha Yeah, €9k box, €2k rear axle & I think €10K engine. Just making the point tho that this thing made 320bhp at the back wheels, so Ben's car would chew it on the drag strip!
