250HP / 355NM on Maximums heart breaker dyno on semi slicks so I dare say that number is an underestimation. Also just looking at the number without understanding the better components like the larger port heads, cam design, variable cam technology, etc is just being stupid and assuming things, and you know what they say when you assume something...
it makes you look like a cunt
Jacobs was not out to make 500hp time attack 10 second car. He wanted a solid reliable car that would offer great balance, power and response on the track or street. His 17 y/o high mileage 205 and 5 speed were not going to get him there, so insert a later model 207, twinscoll, 6 speed, R180, LINK
ECU and it is one of the best GC8's in Perth.
At the end of the day that 250 / 355 is no indication of how that car will drive. It will piss on things with more claimed power... no doubt even my car.
