I believe when I asked adam of VT I was told "yes you will get 300BHP", if thats not a statement/promise i don't know what isn't.

Ok so they have changed their website to include a disclaimer only after investigation by Trading Standards.

The figures they display on thier website may have indeed been true 10 years ago, but hey I thought Nat said they progressed as a company, surely a company with progression would update there information as soon as new CORRECT information came to hand.

In the case of the 304 upgrade with the new information available this should in fact read 265-290 bhp depending on age/wear of car.

But infact VT continue to show inacurate figures in their advertising, but with a small disclaimer.
