I don't plan to go for an ultimate map. In her previous incarnation she was not used as a road car. This time I am planning for greater road use. I feel something around 450/450 would be more than enough for mere mortals to drive on the road.

Hi Dave, in theory it's built for over 500. I only plan to use it at aprox 450/450 with a view to run it as a road car
