Well from what I found out about that car, when they ran it in the pari-dakar it had about 410 hp and when they ran it on pikes peak it had 600 hp

the t16 is basically the same (and i use that term VERY loosely) as what you get in the road car, just heavily modified, I think it was actually peugeot who ran it as well

I did quite a lot of reading into it- The body's actually nothing like the RC I don't think- I know that's certainly the case with the 205 t16.

Here's my one of my all time youtube favourite videos... ever:

You're probably right there chap,

I've never driven a 405 so I don't know what there like, I do like old pugs though (I have one myself) they really don't make them like they used to....

IF my car is anything to go by then they should be fantasticly good...

Correct ;) the only thing wrong with the 405- is they're all a little under-powered and have to adapt to soft suspension in a saloon- lift off over-steer in the wet on substantial non-traffic light roundabouts is an experience ;)

Almost like my car then, all old pugs like to go sideways when provocked,

brilliant, the underpowered thing isn't a problem for me though as my car weighs less than 1200kg so I have plenty of power to make swift progress,

Also I can tell your a megadeth fan ;)

I used to have a 405 SRi 1.9 (same as the 205 gti engine) and that was a good car. It was my first car when I passed my test but I loved it for the time I had it. My mate petar has played with the Mi16 version with thoughts of uprating internals and turning it into a t16 but the chassis and handling would have been too dangerous lol.
