ste's best in the tigra is a 12.8 at york... as beardy stated, it had engine trouble at santa pod and it was its first time out after being mapped. he is slowly getting used to it now though. traction is an issue.
i've been in it and it is quick, infact its rapid . its quickest thing ive been in tbh and ive been in geds rc evo that knocks about with him.
boody shame ste's not as quick as his car at returning stuff after he lends things off you  you know what i mean ste if you read this

The RC Evo is mental aswell. Both mega cars, hope he comes out next week will have to have a proper look round and chat.
Cheers for all info

10.7 on micky t road legal tyres. thats far more impressive of a time than a time ran on slicks. to me anyway.

just to sort this out the tigra runs over 500bhp at 1.3 bar of boost an yes it did run a crap time at usc 14 something but at 125 mph he didnt want to risk 10 grands worth of engine while it was still having teething problems as the car had only been running that power for 4 days before he went. i'm sure if any of you see ste when he is out in the car he will be more than happy to explain to u what was goin on. ive been out in the car with him an the only way to explain how fast it is is shocking an any one else that has been in it will tell u the same including his mate ged with the rc evo an he is running 700 hp in that.

It might not be his lifelong ambition.

Beating specky is not what he built the car for hes not 1 of those idiots that wants to go round saying my cars faster than yours but he does want to run some really quick times as that was what the car an engine spec was built to do amongst other things time in the car is what he needs to get used to it as its not used every day
