My T5R is a 1996 Tom Walkinshaw Racing Edition in Pearlescent
Green. It was originally an automatic, but as part of a series of
major engine mods in 2012 I replaced the transmission with a 5
speed manual box with LSD & ultra-lightweight flywheel.
At it's most recent dyno session it measured 332 BHP & 326
Lb/Ft torque. It is certainly a capable track day car.
