Street racing is pointless, its more like a game of dare to see who can exceed the speed limit by the biggest amount, which is silly really. Assuming its a derestricted road and a set of traffic lights, or something (60mph limit) it would only be 5.3 secs before I had reached the limit anyway…
be a bit like this then?

By 60mph regardless of time getting there you will have proved a pointpaul_c said

If im away from the lights and up against a boy racer i take it to the speed limit then just hit the brakes and wave the point by then has been proved. if i had a car that went to 0-60 in say 4.00 secs but its top speed was say only 70mph id be well happy, never, never, never have i ever raced to beat someone at top end speed it holds no interest for me what so ever. so i agree with Paul on this one..

sweet , is it faster than a mk1 with a 2.8 VR6 with a SC & turbo fitted ?
You can't just add a supercharger then a turbocharger too. You can combine them, but its a lot more complicated than that!

It can lol , i seen a VR6 engine on ebay with 400bhp+ it was supercharged and turbo!
it was going for ?4000
Yes but would it fit in a Mk1? Do you know detailed information about where the blower belt and the supercharger sits, in relation to the bodywork of the Mk1? And is there enough space between the engine and bulkhead, once installed in a Mk1, for a turbo?
