I am firmly in the camp of building a reasonably powerful car, standard for whatever engine you choose, in a well sorted and setup chassis.
I'm afraid I've listened to too many "bragging rights"conversations at Motor Clubs, shows, in the pub and at Motorsports events where the amount of money spent and power claimed can be almost universally found to be inversely proportional to the results and demonstrable talent of the spenders. Not always, but mostly!
Hi John
It was actually Neil who was the quickest on the day by a couple of seconds.
My 280'ish bhp not able to keep up with his max speed down the short straights.
Neil was always 10 to 15 mph faster.
