OH....... MY....... GOD!!!!!!
Fantastic. Looks like I got a hell of a way to go from 310hp to get to your figures. Nice |

Just a quick question, have you had to strengthen the chassis at all, to cope with the extra power or is the 850 solid enough?
Cheers Tom

Thanks for the question i have not made big changes to the chassis as such just roll bars/coilovers/front/rear strut brace i am soon having a roll cage put in as well.I would not say the chassis is very weak but i think any Fwd car with a genuine 500 plus hp will need a few tweeks to help it along Russ |

How much of the power is usable? My 225bhp 850 T5 becomes 'fun' in the wet (even as an auto) when pulling out of side roads and I'd not touch any more bhp, but it looks one hell of a mota that you have
