Dark Grey - Modified - N Plate 500 Essex

[neutral 3]

Have seen this one pass by twice now I'n Essex. Never seen one in this colour , so guessing non Original . It has a Large Wing , Type ( yes really ) Spoiler on the boot lid . Rumour is that is is S Charged.

Anyone know it ?

Sounds like Colin and David Harvey's SC500 Griff demo car (SC-Power).

Is this the one:

Looks very similar , but only had a brief glance at it . What's the story with this one ?

I am pretty sure it will be that one as SC Power are based in Brentwood, Essex. The grey Griff is their test mule that they use as a daily driver and test their products on.

I am not so keen on the spoiler myself but Colin did say that the spoiler and areo kit they sell has helped a number of their customers reduce their lap times.

I believe the car has a bespoke 5.1 litre John Eales engine with their own standard SC500 kits fitted but with a smaller pulley to increase boost. It is rumored that the car may crack 500BHP when mapped up fully.

500 Foookin Hick .... The chassis flex will be diabolical I imagine, but on a smooth straight road , that thing must be awesome !!

Jacked mine up under the B post the other day , to adjust the rear dampers ( yet again ) and couldnt beleive how much chassis flex there is.

When that grey Griff drove past me , it sounded very unlike my one so ime pretty sure it's the Brentwood car that I have seen .
