Most , especially in the UK , were tuned to stage 3 packages . 440hp (330kw). They weren’t slow.

Why is this thing so slow by today's standards when other special high-performance trim cars back then can still give cars today a run for their money?
Sierranuhvadha 7y ago
yeah two seconds slower than a 420 ps Mustang mark v and at least as fast as Testarossa in dry. So slow! lmao

On the contrary. This was the most successful racing car of its day, and beat the countach around the eboladrome.
