it's actually not too bad to drive Robin, runs uprated drivetrain with quaiffe diff etc... it's a trackday toy, not just a 1/4mile sprinter so has to drive... power is pretty linear apparently but boost come in hard and you gotta be ready for it as it's so lightweight... anything that light, wth so much power is never gonna be a refined driving experience... :signLOL:

So about a 17% power loss. All good. What was the torque?
