Culpable yeah i am expecting the gearbox to fail as i know the ST205 goes weak there after 550bhp. So next year i plan on improving the transmission and interior. As for 1/4 mile times, I haven't taken the car down the strip as there is no real drag strips here in Ireland but maybe next year i may take a run over to Santa Pod in England and see how it goes there. I can't see myself pushing the car to the limit as the car was very expensive to build and I don't want to be repeating costs too often, I don't mind adding new improved things that were previously standard but fixing things that were already improved is a thing i don't want to get into a habit of. Also this is my day to day car. So i can't afford to have it off the road for too long.
