there seems to be alot of people running decent power and im hoping for a modest 140-150bhp for mine when its done. So i just wanna know with the minis low weight and high power what kind of cars youve embarrassed on your travels. *smiley*

i got nothing but time..

Van was running about 20psi at the time (it made 174.2bhp on 17psi so I assume about 190-195ish on 20psi) I ran a 13.9 @ 104mph at the side of the VXR8 which was my best time ever in it.

No strip video's I'm afraid in that incarnation however if you search youtube for Metro Turbo Van you get a couple if it on the dyno and some from MITP when it was around the 145-150bhp mark (and a lot heavier)

My car , at Avon, beat a Volvo T5 and a Rover V8 engined minivan, but I think all the turbo minis had time for a cup of tea before I reached the line.
I know I mightily pissed off a N/A mini who left the line 1.5 secs ahead of me (time ticket shows) and I passed him in the last 20 yards.

That Metro van was unbeliveable.
