The rise and fall of Explicit v1.0 was due to inexperienced workshop and a saucepan of empty promises. As such ensure you get what you WANT in writing and get a time frame in place. If you intend on going the thorough route, you have to thorough on everything. also keep in mind, when running at such a limit, a high maintenance schedule is in place, also means refreshing a motor after so many runs/km's. Eating clutches, snapping shafts, busting diffs etc etc. somethings gotta give. One thing i learnt, horsepower is horseshit if you can't use it day in day out and have consistancy AND reliability.

More than likely, 610ps was the all dominating figure, im sure it is still there. Don't get me wrong tho the actual motor was fantastic. The fcukwit who tuned it and decided to design items that weren't up to the standard i was anticpating were what broke the camels back, shit happens you move on. Learn from my mistake, GET IT IN WRITING.
