Most of the smoking and wheel spinning 'impressiveness' is because he can't get the power down. An LSD would help, but its still wrong wheel drive. Just look at that torque steer!

Having said that, its got an impressive spec, and its obviously VERY fast. AFAIK, the only guy anywhere near this in a road car in the UK is a guy called Jason who lives in Ireland - he comes on here from time to time. The critical difference comes when you exceed the limits of the stock bottom end - for me that marks the point at which it becomes 'impressive'.

This guy says it all..

"That motor is worked!
There is nothing you can bolt-on, or Plug-In that will make your car scream like a newbie in maximum lock-up like his..Sorry!"

Come on UK guys - a few more like this!

cheers
