Lambo V12? I just refuse to go over threads this long as i don't have time but doesn't this have the best part of 170bhp or something under its bonnet?
What was wrong with that? You haven't even had it that spec for long had you?

5 years isnt long? After having that engine for 5 years I didnt feel i could go much quicker tbh, and kept destroying the gearbox trying to go faster last year, so time for a power upgrade!
Why settle for 200bhp per ton when you can have 280bhp per ton or there abouts

Shame, a b16 on bodies would be epic. Similar engine spec to why the s1600s had? ( I don't actually know what that was, just having a wild guess)
