in anticipation of 400bhp

well with my R still not back from its recent rebuild and mapping , due to what now is looking ominously like head gasket failure (see "probs getting max power") thread in problem solving .. i thought id just pose the question to all R owners around the 400 bhp mark ,

whats an R like with this amount of power ?
what kind of performance figures are we looking at 0-60 ,top speed , in gear acceleration ?
whats it like on full launch ?
and what kind of exotica can i expect to keep up with ?

when the car is finally back i think we ll be looking at 400 + bhp and the latest torque figure was 386 lbft , expecting higher torque after fitting twin plate giken

cars been away 4 weeks now due to constant hurdles , just want to prepare myself in advance

cheers chaps

Torque is good, don't worry about it. A car that makes equal power and equal torque is one that cannot breathe too well at a high rpm etc..
