Same deal as with the C4, only this time we have options in the event the first winner doesn't actually want it.

Bank Holiday Dyno?
There's a record of all of the cars I run on the dyno on my website. Cars are split into either production modified classes. The table they're on isn't defined by BHP but by % over (or under) book figure.
What d'ya think is now winning the production class?
