Yeah, but did you see the drag race with the Evo 400 and the Fiat 1.6 Stilo, rolling start @30mph in 4th gear and after 1.7 miles of runway the Fiat was miles in front.....Evo=big turbo and loadsssss of lag and paying £47,000 for it.!!!!!!!!!!!!

service intervals every 4K miles, and tyres that dont have any grip until heated in blankets........I see Evo employee managed to park one in a lamp post coming off a roundabout on the A38

i know the chaps who tuned the mr-400,the turbo is really rated at 500hp also the torque has been seriously de-tuned to avoid warrenty claims.If you willing to forget the warranty i'm sure it would see 500hp and a huge great chunk of torque.Serious bit of kit.
