Looks like a previous owner got a mid 12 out of it, according to this:

edited to add: Looking at your other posts (how long is a polo. advice on engine, etc.) I am guessing you have either bought it or are thinking about it! Have fun, looks a great piece.

Bought it yesterday
And wow I thought my T350 was quick but this is stupid it just pulls and pulls, and thats with out the nitrous.
Just got to get the racelogic traction control and launch contol set up and then a 11 sec might be possible.
Looking forward to giving it a try.

You sly dog
We saw it at Shakey either last year or the year before, looked like a well built car..
We might venture up to York at some point with the dragster...

It still has the full roll cage fitted, its all airbrushed which gives a nice effect.
This year I intend to run at RWYB events just to get to know the car. Next year I might enter a series but with me working offshore I am bound to miss a few of the events.
I will post some pictures later today.

Does it still have the bolt in cage in there? I mean the tubes bolt together rather than bolt to the floor? And do you intend to run it in competition or at rwybs?
Having traction control would rule him out of competition anyway, wouldn't it? My understanding is that bolt together tubes would be legal, though, provided they're done properly. Anders Endval (my hero -- the guy's a legend) had a cage that was bolted together in places, but he had to apply for an exemption for the rules beforehand:

He's since gone for a more complete rollcage which I don't think is bolted together any more, and is now tagged down to 7.50.

Does the 7.50 tag include the Caravan?
Didnt Anders spin a bearing at the finals a few years ago, and still tow the caravan back to Sweden? What a Guy!

Nope, bolted together cages are not allowed, the only place you can have bolts is where it may be bolted through the floor, or in the accepted design swing out bar, or the new allowance for the removeable seat bar.
Reason I asked is that we failed the cage for that origionally, and I could not remember if he had it fixed or not

Apologies to the OP for a partial thread Hijack.
Would OEM traction control, ASR, ESP etc, such as is fitted to Vauxhalls, Audis, SAABs etc be outlawed then, if one wished to enter ones road car into Sportsman ET, say?
