personally, i think pushing 300 bhp throught the front wheels is asking for trouble

i take it you assume as it has 300bhp that is will just be completly un-controable as it will spin out on corners and wheel spin at idel etc.

well yeah, thats what i assume, judging by todays cars. the Alfa 147 V6 has 250 bhp running throught the front wheels, and thats supposed to be horrendous to control....... love to have a go myself, but thats a different story! Very Happy

so explaine why rs turbos seem to be ok up to and including 300 bhp? (yes, I know they go pop)

fair enough if you spank the throtal then it may be a tad twitchy but you can still drive normaly in the thing cant you?

yeh,People run more than 400bhp in some GT Turbos and they seem to cope...It depends on the torque curves and loads of other factors too.You can make a fast car, but if its not got uprated parts it wont be fun.The main thing I would have hoped he's installed is bigger discs front and rear...
