 Well, yes I say 'only' 320ft/lbs because if I was using a turbocharger instead of a supercharger and developing 454bhp, I would expect around 420ft/lbs...  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

No torque steer, no wheel spinning up, excellent power delivery in a lovely linear fashion. And if driven sensibly can get 380 miles to the tankful. Yes, it doesn't have the same torque as a turbo would produce it's only around 320ft/lbs but maybe thats the beauty of it, you are not fighting the car all the time, just feeding the power in smoothly.  I want to be proved wrong but i just cant imagine a 306 with 400hp plus geting any grip out of a bend. I have driven light fwd cars with 250hp and they were all over the road |

Monty,Get yourself a passenger ride in one mate, thats the best way of finding out... I know it sounds crazy, and until I drove mine once it was all mapped up etc, I had the same thoughts, but honestly it just grips so well. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
