Never timed myself, but I was lapping with BigD when he videoed his 58 sec lap.

I was taking the time from the Bruce Evo Donna, but the Citroen was pulling away from it on the straight, so it certainly is fast.

The car has a vts engine in it, was up at kames when it was up a while back and was quick with just the vts engine and as donna mentioned it is now supercharged. Tried to find a post i was looking for on the car but cant seem to find it.
Edited: Just realised this is not the car i thought it was although very similar, just found out car i thought this was was scrapped well the shell was as was getting torn apart from abuse.
Sorry for the error.

the ax shell is made from tuna fish tins so the power to weight is very apparent
not too hot on the twisties but to pull away from a hot evo out the hairpin

tis the same car,the shell was scrapped not long ago,a guy with a saxo begged tam to sell him the engine which he did,doesnt know what hes gonna build next.
remember saying to tam the next time we will bring up the evo 7 and see how it does against that and the ax broke down on the first lap
............then 20 mins later the evo blew its gearbox
He built another engine which now lives in Stag's better halfs 205 but doesn't have as much power as the ax did,think it was around 260ish at the wheels.
