Apparently there was a grim wager taken out that Gixer's ZR-1 would be back on the road before my Z06 and I believe that EricTheBrave back Gixer.........well today will be the day to pay up Mr. Brave 
Roughly translated

Congratulations Nige its going to be great seeing it used to its potential

512HP at the rear wheels and 540lbs/ft torque running at 8lbs of boost.
Sounds good, got any graphs mister ? (Sounds like its about 600bhp at the flywheel)

I think they lose around 18% power ,so yes gross would be around 600-610 hp
Although i stand corrected if anyone knows better.

I have a lovely graph which if I can be bothered I will photograph and post and I'm with you Cliffy I think about 610 at the flywheel, having driven the car for the first time tonight it is interstellar fast and that wasn't going anywhere near full throttle or full revs in each gear, I have no idea what sort of speeds it is now capable of but it gets there very quickly.
I'm thinking of replacing the speedo with a Warp Factor gauge..........
