It's certainly more aggressive than my scoob - stripped, caged, bucket seats, engine work including cams and usual exhaust/induction mods.... roughly 200bhp and about 300kg less than my scoob.

It ran really well and we both passengered in each others cars through the day, they really are chalk and cheese. The pug pulls hard to 7.5k rpm and wants to bounce off the limiter all day, whereas obviously the scoobs start to run out of puff at about 6k. From the datalogger we can see he could carry more mid corner speed than me (weight) but I was faster down the straight and made time up on the brakes (8 pot Ksports on front, brembos on rear). The pug heavily warped its front discs in the afternoon.

Good fun though!
