takeing into account my spec, granted you have 264 compared to my lame 244 lol! but i did have the map... id say they were pretty similar power wise... get it on some rollers and get it mapped! should be interesting to see it on the strip against mine.....

i thought a diff just helped whilst cornering - thought it made no difference on a straight run like a 1/4 mile?

took it for a little drive with fad in the car so he could gauge the performance, pretty sure he thought it was quick
also had a blat down the back road by brand hatch where i think for a 2-4 min periode fad was quite scared (and i had visions of a AK stylee moment when speeding towards a wall) sorry mate
pretty happy for traxs next week though, just need to get rev counter and speedo wired in
Seemed to be pretty much fine when you ragged the arse off of it exiting the RSOC meet the other day and when you took me for blast last month

If I ever get my hands on your car keys, i'm going to park it in a swimming pool, in the rain, by the sea, next door to a salt refining plant with a muddy access road and make you watch. And then i'll throw your sim card in aswell.
