0 - 140 mph in 5 secs flat ! ~ might just tolerate crappy handling for 2200 bhp. Think how fast it'd have been if he'd used a Viva instead !!

Let's be honest, when would he have this as a daily drive? So it's all a bit lame really.

South Wales Plod currently have 2 unmarked FQ-360's, in black running the M4 between J24 and J48. Those you don't race, because you don't know! They will be about around Rally GB time.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

I wonder if the police will have them serviced every 4.5k miles and run it on Shell V-power.

"60mph in 1.1 seconds."

It's like that 500 odd horse power Maestro that you always see @ 10 of the best etc., fair play you have a fast car but I wouldn't be seen dead driving it, and surely if you were going to pump that sort of money into a car you would at least want some thing 1/2 decent to start with

And 9.3L! Not really that impressive considering what the top skylines/evos/imprezas are kicking out these days with just 2.2 to 3.0 L.
I wonder what Roger Clark Motorsport could do with 9.3 L!

Yeah but 2000bhp and a quarter mile in around 7 seconds thats impressive for a road car, even if it does look like a bag of ****.

Yes its street legal, but its not a daily driver. He gives it a 2 hour service after every drive.

mate of mine who's parents had too much money had an MG Maestro that had 500bhp supposedly. It was cack off a stick!! Scary as flip but would not go round bends without wheels catching arches and sliding dangerously. RS Turbos would see it off round streets no probs. Remeniscing!!!!! (spelling poo!!)
