Peogeot '208' Flat Out 875bhp
Well okay it's a 208 T16 and not a bogo 208 GTI.
Watched this a while back but following a mention of the T16, decided to review it. The Video is a bit long but driving is superb and you so don't want any blow outs. It's amazing what 'little' 208 can do Top Gear Review Nov 15. http://www.topgear.com/car-news/moto...s-peak-racer#1 Pikes Peak Times. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pike...nal_Hill_Climb The power to weight is amazing. |

They have been at around that power for some time. I think Rod Millens Celica in 2004 or 5 had 850+hp, and have gone up since. Couple of crazy Suzuki's with close to 1000hp all before the full tarmac course. It is a nuts race, massive hill and they lose power due to altitude as they go up.

Looking at some suspension bits from Ultra Racing and likely a short shifter as well. The engine power can be adult be taken to 245bhp, however I am happy (wife is happy) with 208 bhp. Also waiting to see how a project to fit a LSD goes on (lad on the forum is looking at fitting) So for now suspension components mainly ARB, Strut and chassis stuff. Exhaust will stay as is, it's a small car and I don't want some stupid thing fitted. Prefer handling over sound lol. |

Loeb made it look so easy too as if he wasn't really trying that hard - great drive.
