Turbo cars will always out accelerate most other forms off power adders, you only have to see how organising bodies add weight on them or limit the cubic capacity or even out right ban them (ask Hubie about that one) to even the field up.

Turbo cars are always slower at first due to them trying to maniuplate the power they have to the track, some racers have a handle on this some dont.

We all know and appreciate that turbo is the way to go but not all of us have 10k to spend on a conversion, most people will make the most of what they have and be satisfied with that.

Most people will measure there car on the dyno, thats why 20 people are turning up next Saturday at the Rolling Road to see how much horsepower & torrque they have in a safe environment.

Most people on here will take a trip up the strip at a Mini event this year again in a safe environment.

We will try and organise a Mini acceleration test event this year, hopefully will have some more news next week on this.
