Lennox Member 2,586 Member For: 11y 10m 26d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 03/12/13 08:56 AM Share Posted 03/12/13 08:56 AM Is it the engine that puts out 450hp but 250nm torque or something ghey like that? Prob needs to launch it at 4000rpm or something Definitely not a car for drag racing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is saying that it feels gutless above 120 -130 km/h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reaction time was 0.5 sec slower than mine. And he started braking before he got to the finish line... Hopefully the next video will be a bit more interesting to watchRaband - he ended up racing few cars that night. I'm not surprised if he lost to a Gemini or camira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
