:shock: pretty insane... Nice !!!

ok, two options:
- the driver is one hell of an amateur
- or maybe it's just not a good idea to put a turbo in a car like that
(i'm thinking the second)

[liveseytowers]

I was thinking the same about the driver ;)

How cool does that engine sound though :mrgreen:

[DeMoN]

the car is too light to transfer that amount of power to the tires. But saying the torque per weight distribution must be great.

[Evil-ution]

the car burns alot while changing gear it can't stand that power.. the 0-60 is about 4 seconds thats nice.. thanks for the vid 8)

[exhausted mules]

i think he just got way over excited. at the beginning there, he was in a too low a gear to be seriously driving that car.

he's thinking "high rpm, higher speed"

plus it sounds like he's peaking way early for a turbo.

he's just bringing it up to redline "cause its cool"

Yeah, I think it's a little too much power for a car that light. I'd say the Lotus Exige 240R is the perfect example of the right amount of power. 243 hp, 174 lb-ft, 0-60 under 4 sec.

It's got a great sound to it though. I'll give it that.

It musn't be easy to manage all this power in such a light car :wink:
Thanks for the vid mate :D

[TypeLT]

as a driver of a super turbo lag 944 turbo It's hilarious to see him turn so sharp with his foot to the floor not expecting boost to kick in and send him spinning :), thats an insane car must be a handful and a half

[adamrotor]

I say it must be fun... but im sure theres a way to be bale to control that power lsd???
