Wow, something different than the normal cars today, looks like a F1 racer from the 40's. Got any specs of it, Philios55 ?

Tiff did go under 3 sec but it was from 0-60 mph. He did it in 2.97sec. The old record was with a Ford RS 200 that did it in 3.07 sec.

This thing is quite a beast, and with the hi-revving bike engines, you can be rest assured it sounds like one too! And tiff driving certainly is a site!! It's awesome, would love to have one for track use one day 8)
