We expect in the region of 265 to 275 bhp max (keep our fingers crossed). Not with race gas. I do not know about the States but in Europe we have 100 octane pump gas. Its pretty expensive its 1,85 euro per liter but if you want something fast you have to pay for it. :thumbs:

Wow, that must be nice, in California we only have 91 :cry:
Texas has 93 octane. I think our gas is a lot cheaper than in Europe though, so I guess we can't complain too much

Complain why? you still pay per gallon, we pay per liter. 1 US gallon = 3.78541178 liters :o :o :o :o :o

I did a little math, based on today's rate 1.23 Euro = $1.00 US, you pay $8.61 US per gallon or 7 Euro even per gallon.

I don't think they drive as much as we do. At those prices I would not drive much that is for sure.

You can but you have to order it. I had a buddy that ran it in his atv. It came in 5 gallon cans via the Internet.

You should come, its nice. Athens city center not so much but the northern & southern suburbs are really nice.
We do drive a lot. My other car is a Land Rover Defender 90 V8 which is really thirsty for gasoline. The whole Europe more or less has the same gas prices.

This baby came up for sale.


http://suchen.mobile.de/auto-inserat...163783165.html

It belongs to Mirko Muller a banker from Germany. It was the feature car in Volksworld magazine a couple months ago. He is selling the car as the car is extremely fast for him.
