It is indeed, was only really aware of Colins red one.

Graph looks decent, peak power at 7k rpm +

There's a few on 106owners will silly bhp, mega money spent on them. My mates got one close to 300bhp and that feels fucking quick, 400bhp+ must be silly

It's probably a lot more reliable than your Vectra tbh, especially the tyres

Why not? because it's 'French'?

This car hasn't been built by someone with no knowledge of engine, it's had a lot of money chucked at it by a professional. No reason why it wont be reliable tbh

because its on its absoloute limits all the time like any highly tuned engine the chance of failure of parts etc is increased as the engine is pushed furter and further out of its boundries, think how much strain all them components are under at 7000k+

How is it inevitable? The engine has been significantly strengthened to handle the power. Properly maintained theres every chance it could run long after your vectra has rusted away

whats a car rusting away got to do with anything didnt need the childish diggs really to put your point across did you, and if you seen my car you would realise it wont be rusting anytime soon, and as for significant strengthening means nothing, big power drag cars are "significantly strngthened" to cope with the power but are still often rebuilt frequently etc etc, the engine components no matter how strong are being pshed to their limits no matter how strong all i said was it would be fun untill it does inevitably go bang same as my rusty rotten nail of a vectra will be great untill it also goes bang . helmet.

£9500 just for the fact he can't be arsed to copy and paste the spec.

And of course it will be less reliable than a standard car how can you think it won't be
