    Looks like quite an animal, i bet a pinto could take 1000bhp with all the guts replaced and a mahooosive turbo

    167kph is only 103mph. Strange that it was on rollers but the video didn't show the results to back up the claim.

    Some days we are the flies, some days we are the windscreen.

    can't see how it's possible to squeeze 1000+ bhp out of a pintos exhaust ports. would love to know how much power the Malta lads are making in their 9 second pinto turbo escorts.
    its not dead till it's buried!

    Don't doubt that 1000hp is possible but 11,000 rpm ! ! ! A turbo does't have to turn that fast to make power so Bullshit flag #1
    Looked like drag slicks on the rear which obviously weren't working, so how its fast - no one knows - Bullshit flag #2. With all the turbo knowledge he has - there's no evidence of any type of boost control to allow the power to be used - rank beginner mistake!
    As my first RS2 gave an indicated 126mph - I claim the fastest MK2 title!

    High compression, biiiggggg turbo and a shot of gas or 2 as well, somehwere around the 600bhp mark is what i found on some.
