Nah a mate has had a 600 and 550 HP at the wheels blown VE and VF and he beats them and besides the auto slipping nothing else broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wanna take it for a drive, it looks fun.I bought my car from Youngs. I didn't get to drive it, but was a passenger in the black "HARROP WA" composite and it was fun indeed. Power of a tuned GT, but silky refined feeling of my new car. Really like the Harrop Performance WA guys that work there hey, seem honest, open, give straight up advice, fantastic to deal with, no problems answering questions or showing me around their workshop etc etc. I'm a fan.

Personally, I'd be stoked with 500rwhp for a daily driver/all round package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
