Project 64 at Bonneville
A few guys from nelson ,New zealand have broke the 1000cc class record
Engine is a 1000cc A+ block with 16 valve k1100 head . then a turbo wacked on it
Power : 282hp at flywheel, 310hp on methanol.
Some info as of today
"Today we qualified for a record run after averaging 142.103mph on mile 2 of course 3. We're now in the impound. In the morning after 7am we'll have another run. If we break the record again on the same section of track we will be the new record holders. The previous record is around 131mph and is held by "The Hudson Boys" who are parked in the impound next to us (they're running in another class this year). The car is looking good with no signs of the reliability issues we were dealing with now the motor's plumbing has been redesigned and rebuilt."
They've just ran 156.045 on mile 3 and 151.087 on mile 2.

So my main question is - who's going to get those sort of numbers from a CG10 and ship their K11 out to Utah next year? The K11 body must be fairly aerodynamic - certainly more so than a (propper) Mini.
