500BHP (supercharged derivative) in a car weighing less than 500KG :shock:

That's where I got it from (found a copy that had been left in our waiting room) & looked to see if there was anything on 'YouTube' of it

my Mate built a striker from a kit, also very light and supercharged toyota lump pushing about 300bhp I think.
