Over 800bhp I seem to remember, using a Rover T16 engine from a 200/400/600/800 from the 90s.
He has a Maestro too, which runs 12s and has done for years and years.

The Meastro sounds awesome. Used to see him about in it a lot.

I laughed when I looked across, I didn't realise it was him as I was used to seeing the Maestro at Elvington.

Yes, the record in Brasil now is 9.4 on VW Gol (similar to the old small Golf).
The world record is from Marty Ladwig in a Chevy Cobalt - really amazing, not too long thew will break into the six sec.
Here's a video from the Cobalt:
