Its on its design limits with 295 lb/ft of torque, however that said i know a couple of guys who've run higher boost /450bhp and more with the standard box and had no issues.

interesting... allways nice to learn something more first hand about a car like this one. 450 hp in a car as light as an Esprit, that must pack an awesome punch. I'm really looking forward to the successor of this car.
EDIT: Jabba, let's hope the next Esprit will be even a bit better and if they get it right, meaning that they'll make it more reliable... that would make an nice addition to the cars you own don't you think
