sorry if this is a repost but this guy seems to think his car is a little quicker than it is. 0-60 in under 5 seconds is pushing it i think? also gets 150mph out of a f20? must be reving to about 8500rpm as f20s hit a 7000rpm limiter on 140mph>
quite nice though anyone from cs?

It won't.
Lucky B's done 4.97 with usable NA power... 250bhp race spec's worth...
A Standard LET corsa won't have the power, and a Tuned LET will spin up.
Looking at 5.5-6.5 with a LET.
Nice shot of the engine bay and its conversion. Another "insurance registeres 1.0 12v" jobbie..... Sounds like another high quality conversion.....

You mean the way Touring car drivers still spin up the front wheels with 280 NA gee gees out the front wheels? Can they not drive either?
With a Turbo, and trying to drive it hard from 0mph, it will tend to try to spin up and will have issues getting traction down to acheive a sub 5 seconds 0-60mph.
Maybe using an F28 and running off in 2nd, but not with 1st.
