800kg = 250bhp per tonne
850kg = 235bhp per tonne
Pretty close and a good 20-30bhp more!

Guy who owned the one I passed in this vid didnt think so. Came and had a chat to me after about the car and things. Shit camera angle but you get the point. A few times on that day I just used the power on him down a straight.

You can see im clearly catching the Blue E36 M3 down the straight at the start of the video and had to blend out.
Then theres the evo I pushed down the straight on another occasion (as witnessed by some people on the rallye reg).
Put a decent engine in a saxo and it will keep up with a few things fairly easily. On a power circuit like silverstone you will expect huge bhp pushing cars to fly by me mind.
Different gearbox ill be running when back should make it a bit better in gear with any luck though.
