Bell direct are over 21's only as far as I'm aware.
Rev 1+2 Turbos are 0-60 in 5.8 and about 150 top end.
Rev 3 onwards are 0-60 in 5.2 and 162 top end.

i driven the turbo.
very nice engines. getting in and out of the car takes about 10mins if u around 6ft.
i had the tail out a couple of times in the wet.
but the one i drove really needed a good servicing, was standing for quite a long time.
