are there any t 16 zs owners on here? what spec are you running? power, qtr mile, 0-60 times etc will be great if you have any info like that
The highest of heard of was in a T16 maestro built by Andy Nicholes, it was pushing 600bhp which he felt was the limit, IIRC it had been bored out to about 2.1L, had forged, toughened, lightened, modified bits every where and I think he was running a T55, when I saw the car I remeber wondering what power station he'd nicked the turbine from, it was massive.

It was the quickest front wheel drive car in the UK at the time.

He has since moved to a MGZR running 640bhp at the hubs and doing 10.2 138mph quater miles and out doing jap cars on handling circuits

Reading further apparently he did 10.23 @ 138mph in 2007
