And even that isn't actually a Puma, it's just Puma-shaped.

Perhaps it should read: 10.20 second qtr mile spaceframe chassis'd RS200-powered race car (Puma shaped)

Edited to add: I'd still quite fancy a go of it, though

Exclamation

There was some discussion about this car a while back. It's owned by the MD of X-Trac.

I don't have exact spec but I think it's a 2.2 BDT RS200 Evo engine, so power could be anything up to 750hp.

At Brighton Speed Trials it did a 10.20 @ 139mph, not running properly (!)

HaHa was'nt this the car that was supposed to do 0-150mph with no regard for the laws of physics in a mind boggling 5.5 seconds

Funny how it can only manage 139mph in 10.2seconds hope the tuning goes well when the car is finished because its got to gain 10mph and do it 5 seconds quicker hope the re-map adds an extra 1000bhp then it should crack that original quoted figure

NOW WILL MORE THAN 1 or 2 PEOPLE BELIEVE ME

Scott

(now with un-sarcastic head on) still a good result
