Certain lilttle corsa doing the rounds currently... Done on errrr "santa pod test track" 
4th Gear, nitrous on.... To me, this is very very similar to how Lucky B's old 2.0 ran. Picked up speed this quickly..... Not even AP Racings old LET picked up anything like this when running.

Anups/Steves car hasent got as much power as Gaz's on gas though, and Gaz wont suffer from lag at all
unless Anup was running nitrous too?

Neither did Lucky B's...........
LAG only lasts while your in the wrong rev range. Anup took me for a blast though all the rev range 
Im just saying the 280BHP of turbo doesn't pickup speed as quickly as this has. Nothing like it. Yet Daves 250bhp picked up like this.

FCUK! That's fast! 
I was expecting it to stop at the limiter but it just carries on revving.. what's the limiter on it?

I know why it's good revving that long just didn't get your reasons for saying std internals kept with a 9k limit. How much does his rev to surely it can't be much past 9?

i dont think Gaz's revs to 9, and i dont think i'd want to rev to 9 on a regular basis, not without strong bits everywhere

Why did you say gaz's car could rev more then 
I don't think anyone with a brain would want to do it myself

just out of interest, what would you reckon it would cost to build that, if you already had a shell.
don't worry i'm not thinking about doing it, just wondering what else you could build, say in a mini, ford ka etc?

to build tha same spec as that, you'd be talking 5k, if you can do the headwork and building yourself
