just come back from a well known rolling road centre resonably pleased with my my00 scoobysport exhaust ind. kit 257bhp not bad for a warmish day
but the car before mine was a evo 7 extreme had 324 bhp not as much as i and the owner was expecting
i thought they had 300 ish without the extreme bits

Strange
That was my car and it made 348 bhp which is exactly 9 bhp more than it was advertised to do (339). I would post the graph but I cannot be a##ed. Its 0-60 time is 4.2 seconds but the best bit is the in gear accelaration - try 40-60 in 1.8 seconds or 50-70 in 2.1 secs
Oh, just to save you looking it up, thats faster than a 911 GT2, Tuscan S and many more.
BTW, standard is 286 bhp.

hmmm,might have known you`d be lurking Mellow 
The Extreme is not only about b.h.p. either, the cars designed more for "drivability" than out and out power.Though the power output is impressive non the less
Nice one m8!

I'll think you'll find the Maclaren a tad more expensive than the EVO 7X. i recon you can count the number of production cars that can match that on both hands (maybe 1 foot as well) I bet hardly any of em are under 70K.
As for 'puts it into perspective' - hardly.

I would need the McLaren and a driving leason from Coultard to stay with you However, let me know when you are planning your next little get together and I will follow behind you and SuperL to collect the pieces
I am sorry if the above sounds OTT. I just love my mota which delivers everything that Ralliart promised. It certainly isn't meant to be a dig at Scoobies because as some of you know, my Bro has one and I think they are great cars too.
One of the points about this is that Ralliart UK are branching out and under the name Xtreme Autos, they are also turning their attentions to other makes, one of which is the Scooby. Although I know that the market already has some good players, I am sure that the experience these guys bring will mean they will become a serious player in the Scooby world as well. They have been great guys to deal with and have made me one very happy customer.
(and no, I have not connected with them)

I suspect that Julian has about 385 bhp and must be close to 400lbs/ft of torque! I had heard rumours of you being tempted by the dark side but you must realise that once we have you in our power.............

I bought my car from Ralliart UK as a limited production run car. It came with a 3 year, unlimited milage warranty. The mods I intend to have done will be done by Ralliart UK and the warranty will stay in place. I am not sure as to what warranty they would give somebody who arives with an Evo not bought from them and asked for the work to be done but I would be suprised if they didn't warranty their work.

Cheers for that, I wasnt sure but you hear different stories. I was followed by an E7 today a light blue one, very nice and looked purposeful dancing around in my rear view mirror. Not sure he clocked the SIDC badge but I bet he saw the Fiesta badge

I am very intrigued by your car.
Currently I have a WRSport RB5 which I love to bits. In a year or so time I will be changing and have never been in a EVO but when I do change I will definately be test driving one.
Can you let me know some more details about the spec, servicing, insurance etc.
Many thanks
Jas
