Recreational | nightspirits trackstar hits the rollers 26th of January 2008 Nighghtspirits track star is finaly nearing completion. At 1.2 bar of boost on a very clean map the car made 203hp at the wheels and 170lb/ft, not too shabby for a first session. They called it a day after mapping it to the limit of the current injectors (98%) so a set of 550cc's are needed...those should, in theory push the power to 230~ whp and allow the boost to run around 1.6bar which should then see the car making around 300 whp. Even at the current tune it's still got a power to weight of 317 hp per tonne....that puts the car above a 911 turbo!! (272 p/t)
