OK if you use supersharged, you can get about 180 PS, maybe more and a lot of torque with combination of 860 kg and that is good.

therea are japanese guys getting about 550 hp from turboed 20V engine with a supra gearbox.
Thats some nice hp/weight ratio

i think kris is selling his AE to pay for the new car its just like for us money doesnt grow on trees fo kris either or else I think he would have kept the car

Well all this speculation does indicate one thing very clearly though...all of us over here do appreciate Kristians efforts in his AE86. That should be a bit reassuring. I can imagine him moving up to something more powerfull to get further in the sport...ae86's are just not the most appreciated cars on this continent. But 600 hp IMHO is over the top.. Just looking at what the guy in the cossie escort vid could do with his car proves the point..
