For 1098, power and money. These 2 things must go hand in hand, very difficult to do separately (ie, power, no money, lots of money no power)...

Or there is an outside chance he may have 7" off a cooper. Many cooper owners in the past upgraded to cooper s spec and probably offloaded their 7" to lowly drummed braked mini owners :D

That doesn't make sense - if you have power, then you don't need the money, if you have the money, then you can get lot's of power; surely?

You're confusing me Chong :?

That'd be at the engine I reckon, 70-80 at the wheels in a 1098 is pretty big I must say.

This whole at the wheels and at the engine needs to be said as it really confuses people, like me.

You'd be right to reckon engine... who mentioned wheels anywhere?

As the good doctor says, no point talking HP at the wheels, there are SOOOO many variables its not even close to comparable.

So, for the South Australians - I am talking F-L-Y-W-H-E-E-L (mwahaha, sorry gotta pick on the SA folks (where my family is) any chance I get.
