Me and Oli test drove one today and was so impressed when at 6200rpm the lift comes into play, so rapid, Cant wait to find a nice one.

after 6200rpm a wedge shaped pin gets locked into the valve train and drastically increases valve lift, it is so noticable that it shoots you forward with an extra 45-50bhp

My Sister has a black T-Sport to - similar to Pauls. A few more dents but does have a TTE backbox on it that sounds nice - bit loud however.
As Phil says at about 6KRPM the cams lift and you get a little surge. If you can keep it in the powerband the car is rapid! I like the responsive throttle too!
My sisters car is on standard suspension so does look like a 4x4 and steering is pretty vauge. I have not had a chance to drive Pauls yet to see what his is like with the lowering springs.
@Gord - Yes I know you like silver wheels on ANYTHING but what about anthracite or dark gunmetal? I think that would look nice....

I have driven one only the once and was impressed with the little power boost, bit like a tiny turbo.
Is there a way to get the lift to operate a bit earlier?

Leave home ten minutes before you were going to :p
