Cossies are okay if you like them sort of things. I almost got one myself but decided scoobies are the ones for me. It may go quicker, I don't know, but I do know that it's soooo much easier to have it nicked by some joyridders....

Obviously Katana reads the threads in detail ;)

Chris - Just a guess but with 280bhp, and a car that weighs about 600kg, you will probably be looking at 0-60 in about 3.5 secs and 0-100 in about 9 or 10 secs - correct me if I am wrong anyone (John Felstead??)

There was a Cosworth powered DAX (Westfield look-a-like) which took part at Harewood Hillclimb occaisionally.

Bit slow through the bends, but OMG :eek: it could certainly lift extreamly well out of bends. Acceleration was just phenominal (sp?).

The advantage of the DAX is that it has 4WD, but yours should be very entertaining in a wild oversteery kinda way :D :D :D

It will be uttely devastating in terms of acceleration, agilty, and feedback/feel and will dissappear from any road saloon on track in the dry.

It will be great fun - would like one myself.

Thanks for that guys looks like its going to be a mad time this summer just hope i don't bend it what with no 4wd and all.Will try to post a picture in the gallery later.

There is a guy called John Felstead who has a 350bhp ZEi220 (it is for sale btw). Probably see if you can have a word with him and avoid some of the potential pitfalls.

Mark

Just thought, did you buy his?

{edit have a look at this video of his Westie to see the potential of the package http://www.motorcycle-dk.com/en/mult....php?viewCat=7

Chris it should be awesome mate I've got a 200bhp exige which feels fast compared to my P1, so your westie should be frightening.
Enjoy it mate

Thanks for that Andy the Lotus is a nice car mate that is a lot of the reason i've gone for the westie as my mate has just got a Ellise s2 he has sooooo much fun in it on the road without doing silly speeds unlike the p1 where you have to really push it to get it out of shape which is why it is such a great car and why i'm keeping her,but me thinks the Westie is going to be big summer fun.
Chris.
